Investment Q&A

Q: I have been ignoring my RSP for years now , and I will have to do the Riff conversion in 2 years. I have a collection of failed stocks and $200,000 in cash sitting in 1 1/2% interest cash in my RSP .Yesterday I committed to buying the NPI offering , but my broker says I can change that to my margin acct or TFSA if I do it right away . If I clean it up , what equity names might you suggest for my RSP and where should the NPI go ? With 5% yield , is it an income stock ?

Thankyou ...

Q: What is your detailed opinion of Maxar "surviving". I have a massive position that is under water to over 100k. There is at least 10 USA law firms initiating class actions. I do not see any listed in Canada? Is their a Canadian firm representing shareholders? Should I participate in this, since the USA law firms advise on participation status as 100k. My book value is around $50.00 per share. I know the company will never see this price. However, my focus is on their ability to survive and muster up some kind of low $20-$30s pricing on their assets. Or, accept defeat, and try to recoup through class action, or sell. How valid is the class action? The cost of defending against 10+ suits must be intense, and will not go away. If you can peer down into this well of doom, please provide some comments. Thank you

Whixh stocks worth keeping?.

Q: I have held Loblaws for ten plus years and really liked the Shoppers acquisition. With the grocery business low margins and increased competition, would it make sense to move to a more pure play global pharmacy company like Walgreens to play the aging demographics?

Q: Hello Peter, Ryan, and Team

I need to raise some cash and would like to know how you would rank these stocks from "sell first" to "sell last":

BLX 1.07%
BNS 1.9%
KXS 1.35%
NFI 0.81%
PBH 1.7%
SIS 2.22%
SYZ 0.94%
TFII 0.58%

I am underwater on all of these. The number following each symbol is the stock's weighting.

Thanks for your assistance.

Q: My portfolio is light in consumer non-cyclicals. Last week I was considering the purchase of NWC for dividend in my non registered account. With the recent earnings release and drop in price is this a good entry point or should I move on?

Would PBH be a better choice? Or is there a better non-financial dividend payer to add to my portfolio?

Thank you

Stephen

Q: Good day,

I currently have shares in DOL in my TFSA (avarage cost 50$). Do you feel this stock will reach passed the 50$ mark within the year?
Also, would you consider MTY a buy?

Q: I hold some CNR at a reasonable weighting 2-3%. Thinking of adding CP to the portfolio. Can I please get your opinion on the Rails in Canada. Current opportunity, valuation and how would you rank them- worth holding both?
Thank you

Q: Hello Peter, Ryan and Team,

I have been plucking the weeds and watering the flowers. These three are my biggest losers in a taxable account down between 20% to 30% and haven't been rallying as the others. Can you make the case for both buying and selling each of these? Thank you,

Wes

Q: Hi what is causing they big bump today

Q: I submitted a question today around 11:30am but don't see it anywhere. So I am submitting it again.

I am close to retirement and would like to diversify my investments. Could you please recommend 3 stocks or ETFs in each of the 11 market sectors? My goal is stable dividends incoming and not too risky.

Thanks.

Q: Purchased this back in June 2018 for my RRSP account for some "growth" with a 2% position. Now down 22% - at what point does one say that's enough and move. Can you suggest a possible replacement a little less volatile.
thanks

Q: All these are oversold as of this week. For a long term investor, are any of these good to buy today?

Q: I am considering swapping SPB for PKI. I bought SPB for income and hopefully some growth 2 years ago and not going anywhere. PKI has less yield but increased dividend in the previous 6 years. Also more diversification with potential for better growth. Your thoughts?

Q: I want to add a consumer staple to my portfolio, can you recommend a few that might be recession proof? I currently only have consumer discretionary and am wondering if I should dump a few and add a staple instead? In consumer stocks I currently hold PBH, A&W, TSGI and STZ. Would you consider all of those discretionary?
