Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have a LIRA account and don’t plan to make any withdrawals for the next 15 years. I’m looking for “buy-and-hold” stock and/or ETF investment ideas that would suit this long-term timeframe.

I’m open to a mix of individual stocks and ETFs, across both Canadian and U.S. markets. Given the long horizon, I’m comfortable with experiencing periods of market volatility.

Any additional suggestions on how you would approach this situation if it were your own account would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Q: Last question on these two companies as late December, and I am interested if your take has changed. I just sold CAT, and am looking at repositioning into one of the maintainers of its equipment; largely to get out of the $US and potential risks to CAT of Trump policies.

What is your take on these 2 companies and which would come out ahead for an investment now?

Q: Hi,
I am thinking about investing in some BCE. What would you say the intrinsic value is per share? I am also intrigued by BRK.B. What do you think?
At share price are CSU, TOI, and Lumine bargains respectively?
What sort of market are we in? Up, down, or sideways?
And, would you suggest 10 companies which are great (little chance of capital destruction), AND offer some upside?
Side questions: Magna and Rogers have bounced back...a lot, did 5i recommend buying at those low points?

Q: Hoping you can provide some comments around what the bond markets might be telling us right now and what it might mean for equities? Lots of rumblings with respect to Japan and rates/spreads in general lately. Is it worth a report/blog? If not, any insights you can provide here in answer would be gratefully appreciated.

Q: Hi Team,
I hold VHI in my tfsa, down 20% now. Would it be considered a "high grade" move to sell it now and buy CSU now that it is also down as much or more than VHI in the last year? Would my return prospects from here with CSU be just as high as compared to sticking with VHI? Would you advise this move?

Thanks,
Shane.
