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 half positions in CCL.B, ZCL, GSY,ECI and PHO; full positions in SIS,KXS,SHOP,PBH and GUD. Growth from 'good' companies is my only consideration and I have a 10 year timeline. These companies are part of the growth portion of a balanced portfolio.
Please provide guidance on the following 2 questions:
Could you rank my half position companies with growth potential as the sole criterion.
Is it reasonable to increase one's stake beyond a full position in any company that has excellent future prospects? If yes, please rank my full position companies based on growth potential.
Thanks for your excellent service, as always!

Q: Further to your answer to Delores regarding cineplex, do you think you will be publishing the update before or after they report earnings May 5? The reason I ask, is we currently hold cineplex in a riff account where the income is used as a pension replacement. While the stock has been a solid investment, aside from the modest yearly dividend increase there really hasn't been much capital appreciation in the last year. Although I am intrigued with the potential impact of the rec room once opened in Toronto, will have on their bottom line. We are thinking of replacing it with Bgi.un which pays an 8 per cent dividend. Ignoring the fact they are in different sectors can you comment on the following:
1) is this a good switch and will this switch increase risk
2) would you sell cineplex after the ex dividend date or wait for the earnings release?
As always thanks ( especially with my more recent buys of Crius and Shopify)!

Q: Do all four of these have dividends that are taxed differently and therefore shouldn't be in a non-registered? Does this apply to a TFSA as well, as foreign income I believe is taxed in a TFSA?

Where should I hold each of these? in an RRSP, TFSA or non-registered?

Q: i am thinking about full position in both SIS and PBH. I bought a little SIS before Xmas but wonder if I should move in another direction on these 2 as they have done very well recently. I have been contemplating for a while but wonder if I should wait for a pull back. Would KXS or GSY be another option? I am not to heavy in any of these sectors.
On another note I bought SHOP a while back, thanks! Your team has been a wealth of knowledge.

Q: Team,
Just like your thoughts on the listed stocks and which you would add ( in some order of preference) to an existing portfolio skewed to secure dividends and modest growth with a target 7-8% combined dividend and growth. Conversely is any one a definite NO.
Thx

Q: Hi Folks,

I'm now looking for a little torc in my dividend portfolio. Could you recommend 4 or 5 names of good dividend stocks where one might expect higher than average growth over the next 3 years. Sectors not important.

Many thanks,

Dennis
