Investment Q&A

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

Q: Can you tell me what you think of a portfolio I am considering putting together consisting of some 5i all stars. Your thoughts on how this may compare to the BE portfolio performance, volatility, Saftey. Equal weights would be purchased. Sis, Syz, Zcl, toy, Pbh, Sh, Tnc, Esl, adw, Kxs, Gud, Rrx, Wcp, Cxi, Csu, Pli, xtc, Crh, sgy, Otc, Dbo, SJ. And a bank of you choice. Would you make any changes? If you don't think this would outperform then it will be the BE portfolio.

FSZ has been marking time since its run up earlier this year.
Do you feel this is a good "value like" entry point?

Q: I am somewhat concerned about the negative momentum for the last couple of months. I understand there are concerns about food cost deflation and perhaps the ongoing price competition investigation. I also know that you like Loblaw because of the Shoppers earnings growth potential. Should I continue to hold or should I sell. I purchased at $72.00 today down to $66.00. Is there more downside to the stock going forward or do you see this as just a temporary set back and perhaps cycle rotation? Besides Loblaw, I own Premium Brands in the same sector and have done very well with it.

Thanks for your help.

Q: (You may receive this twice, but when I sent in the message a few minutes ago, I received an error message that suggests it may not have gotten through.)

Do you have an estimated date for when these companies report their 3Q earnings, and whether they may have telegraphed expectations? Thanks.

Q: I'm planning to purchase 1 or 2 of the following stocks after the US election. Could you rate these 4 stocks in the order that you would recommend them at today's prices. Also which one is more under valued?

Q: I purchased Sun Life for some exposure to a rising rate environment even though I don't expect rates to increase very much. My concern with Sun Life and other insurance companies is there exposure to Canadian real estate as part of their investments. I know that Sun Life has an active real estate division and they purchased a real estate company in 2015 as well. Do you think this is a risk in the event of a real estate downturn in Canada? Safer to play Fairfax which I understand has zero exposure to Canadian real estate, despite its higher valuation? Am I over thinking things here?

Thanks,
Jason
