Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hope this falls within the scope of your Q & A:

Retired couple, defined pension plan providing coverage for living expenses. Also good real estate assets, including rental property.

Looking for additional income to "indulge" .... possibly even buy that little sports car that I wish I had bought 40 years ago :) ...

Have $500K in RIF. Own most of all your portfolios and a number of other stocks.
Objective to re-structure my portfolio so that it reflects: 50% Income, 30% Balanced and 20% Growth.
I would appreciate your top suggestions from each of your portfolios to achieve this target. The intention is to then review and edit our overall portfolios based on this input.

Thanks so much for your help.

Q: Hello Peter
I am currently down about 30% on MG which is 5% of my portfolio.
I hold 60% of MG in unregistered account & 40% of MG in my TFSA acct.
My concern is would it be wise to sell it now and buy instead NFI or SIS and if so which one would you prefer first NFI or SIS, which one has more "growth" left.

Thanks for great service!

Q: Hi Peter
Don't publish this if you don't think it is appropriate.

Last night I went to the Cineplex and bought tickets for the new Tarzan movie. It was in 3-D and had the new D-Box technology. The two tickets cost $43.00 without food or drink.
I found the seat jerking up and down and sideways very annoying. Probably just me, but if anyone is thinking of investing in the technology they should go try it out first. Luckily I could turn it off. Good, fun movie otherwise.

Q: I realize these two companies are very different, but both have had a nice share price reduction recently (well, nice if you're a potential buyer!). Straight-up question: Which would you choose for a better TOTAL return over a 5 - 10 year time frame?
And do you see a material difference in net risk between the two over such a time frame? Thanks!

Q: Hello,
I have kept averaging down on this and currently have big losses. Yesterday, a BNN guest said that this is a non investable company.

Should I just sell and bank the loses? It's a registered account so can't even claim losses, keep average down? Hold my nose for a year or so? Can it go belly up?

Thanks

Q: I own these 4 stocks in my TFSA account in which SIS is 2% holding overall all accounts and the other 3 are 1% overall. From reading the questions that have been asked on theses 4 stocks , you feel that DRT is a hold as well as GUD? I would like to increase my holdings so do think that it would be best to add to PLI and SIS at this time and not GUD or DRT?

Thanks
Dolores
