Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: My wife and I are looking to retire in 6 to 7 years and are setting up our portfolio so that we will have investments paying approximately 7% dividends in 7 years relative to the current purchase price. Could you suggest five stocks that have the best chance of growing to a 7% yield relative to initial purchase price in 7 years and continuing to rise with inflation over time? We look forward to your response.

Q: Hi,
I'm following your new Income portfolio and I would like to add a company in the Health sector, Consumer discretionary and Consumer staples (other than Loblaws.) Do you have any recommendations in those sectors? Thank you.
p.s. It was tough to find a web site that broke down the TSX into 10 sectors and tougher to find a site with the constituents of each individual sector.
Really enjoy reading your articles and listening to the webinars.

Q: Hello Peter and Team,
Can you advise as to the most effective means to identify a company`s debt, expressed as dollars as opposed to D/E ratio. Just got stung on JE and was not tuned in to the debt scenario as the fundamentals ( value in PE/PR ) all seemed solid on the BMO Investor site. However, in hind sight, the D/E was posted at -5.7+ and the Div yield is 10%+.... caveat emptor I guess, but I would appreciate a suggestion to a more informative resource to truly identify excessive debt. Please be gentle .....
Thanks as always!

Q: hello,
I was hoping for an opinion on MTG vs.TMC. Does TMC's higher yield make it riskier than MTG for a medium term hold?
As usual thank you for all the info.

Q: DCI

Just reported... EBITDA and gross profit seem to be improving and they are reducing debt. Has the turnaround started and would you agree that things are improving slowly but surely? There are a lot of shorts in this stock, if things are improving they will need to cover given the yield!?
