Investment Q&A

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

Q: On the 5 safest Canadian stocks outside of utility and energy companies question of Oct.22, I was surprised to not see any financials included. Do you not feel a bank like BMO which has paid dividends for some 200 years would make the cut, and if not, why? 3 choices in consumer staples seems under-diversified. Thanks, J.

Q: I've held this one for quite a while, I have good gains from it, it keeps beating its quartley numbers. Do you think that it is expensive or does its growth justify its p/e.

Q: I know you favour BNS amongst the big 6 banks, but after working there for several years (and NOT being impressed with the culture) I cannot bring myself to invest in it. Can you please offer what your 2nd and 3rd choices would be. Or would something like PWF be more attractive at current prices. I'm in this for the long term. Thanks!

Q: Hello Peter
I an quite concerned that Ebola will sweep around much of the world eventually no matter how hard we fight it and that being the case Ebola may be a disaster for life insurance companies having to prematurely pay out on life policies. Should we sell our Sun Life SLF and Great West GWO [currently almost a break-even for us if we do]?
Thanks....... Paul K

Q: Hi Team. This is a follow up to Carl's question and your answer. "Is it time to start picking away at good stocks?" and you answer "the smart money should start picking at good stocks". I have had TD for at least 10 years. My Financials weighting with BNS and others from your PFs was about 17% 2 months ago. By good stocks do you mean even the ones "in the red" in my PFs or "in the green" because with your guidance I know they are ALL good stocks. I have BNS in 2 PFs and one of them has really gone down due to when I bought. The other down (in the red) but not as much. Thankyou for your on going "KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON" guidance

Q: LTS.us appears to be defying the mkt, and is steadily moving up. What is your assessment? And should I wait to buy? As a financial service company, though small in size, it may have found a niche that will propel it forward.
