Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello Team ..I have US and CA$ in my income oriented RIF. I would like to buy either PID:CA ( using CA$) or VYMI ..given their depreciated value (and high US$ ).Both have great dividends but the macro is awful and holding me back which makes me think it is exactly the right time to start easing in. I would appreciate your thoughts...best regards. gary

Q: Hi
I am holding about 50 % cash

Does it make sense to just hold it for a while or put it into USA treasuries. And if so what would be the best choice? Stocks like ztl zvi or zmu or something else

Currently I hold no bonds … mostly dividend stocks like bce- enb- dvn - financials - reits.


Thanks

Q: I believe you have suggested PSA as a means of accessing higher interest on cash and maintaining liquidity and avoiding risk. Is there an ETF that fits this bill for US dollars that you would recommend that trades on NYSE or the TSX? Appreciated as always.

Q: Some of the bank brokerages won't let you buy PSA. What brokerages will let you buy it?

I was told that MNY is a new ETF that apparently addresses some of the bank brokerages' concerns. What is your opinion of MNY and would you recommend it as well as PSA?

Thanks!

Thanks,

Q: Hi Peter,

Thanks for your insights at the MoneyShow last week. You mentioned Long Term Bonds as a viable investment option in the current market environment. Can you explain the rational? Also provide some recommendations for ETS (CAD currency preferred) or specific bond and or bond fund.

Thanks for your continued guidance during this bear market opportunity,
Angelo

Q: After reading your answer to a question on TIP and STIP on March 29, I invested in these two inflation-protected bond ETFs, however, their performance to date was extremely poor and I am down about 10%. Can you please explain why these "inflation protected" securities behave so poorly in the current high inflation environment? Aren't they specifically designed for situations like we have these days?

Q: I hate asking market timing questions as much as you hate answering them but...I have always been a bit light on real estate and am wondering if now is a OK time to add a position in either xre or zre. Second question: You have XRE in the income portfolio, today would you stick with XRE or I was looking at ZRE that has outperformed XRE recently. My concern about timing is with rising interest rates and the jittery markets that I might be better off just parking in the banks or consumer deffensive and worrying about real estate in a few years,

Q: In May,U made the right move in trimming Zre at $25.35 as it is now $21.50. The Fed & Powell are very aggressive to increase rate to reduce inflation to some 2% & possible increase rate to 4.4% by year end from current 3.31%. Majority of my Reits are near or/at 1 year low. Is it time to sell? Txs for u usual great services & views
