Investment Q&A

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

Q: Currently own BAM.A and BIP.UN (From Enercare aquisition), I am quite comfortable with the two Brookfield companies combined percentage within portfolio.

After reviewing the sectors allocation, I am high on financial (BAM.A) and low on Energy, I plan to reduce BAM.A position (take profit) and move the proceed to BEP.UN in a registered account?

Goal is to maintain the same percentage of Brookfield companies in portfolio and balance the sectors better especially want to long renewable energy.

Do you agree with this move or have comment, concern, other suggestion ?

Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter,
On yahoo, i get a pe of 32 for shopify. Does this make sense ? What are the metrics one should use to evaluate good value for shopify? Given that there is competition for shopify, do you think the company deserve a full weighting of 5 percent? I am just concerned about what happened with black berry (RIM in early days) when apple and samsung came along.. can this happen to shopify as well as there is competition building.. Much appreciated

Q: Please shed light on what has been happening to Boyd. Its price has been in a fairly steady decline from over $250 in October to around $175 today. Some decline is to be expected in this current period of economic uncertainty, but 30%, steadily, over 3 months? New and used cars are in short supply these days due to the chip shortage and transportation bottlenecks, so why aren't people spending as much or even more on repairs to their older cars? Is Boyd suffering from internal problems of some kind? I am puzzled by what's been happening, over a period of many weeks, to a company with such a solid longer term record. What does the market know that I don't?

Q: I own LSPD in a registered account and am just breaking even. Considering swapping it out for SHOP, which I suspect may be lower risk and a sounder investment going forward. Given the wild ride both companies have had recently, which do you believe will perform better in the long term (3-5 years)? Thanks.

Q: We recently initiated a TFSA for a family member (long-term buy & hold); the 10 securities purchased (in approximately equal amounts) were: Aritzia (ATZ), Unilever (UL), GoEasy (GSY), SunLife Financial (SLF), BAM (BAMa), WSP (WSP), Algonquin Power (AQN), Telus Int'l (TIXT), and an ETF called XUSR. Still have ~15% capital (~$12,000) to invest. Which 3 or 4 of these would you have greatest conviction to add to? And/or is there another security which would complement the above?
