Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi Everyone!! Peter, I always enjoy your article in the National Post. In this past one” Five things I wish I knew when I started out”…. You mentioned as one of your points , that companies that don’t need any money at all are the best investments . Could you please list a few Canadian and US companies that are in that situation?
Cheers,
Tamara

Q: What is your long term view on these two companies? Is their structure, management, and financial condition such that holding on to them makes sense?
Do you have replacement suggestions that will likely surge ahead in more promising market conditions? Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter,

I do not believe in technical analysis, however, from a technical analysis perspective, what would be a great entry point in the next three to six months to purchase shares of SPY, QQQ and XIC? What is the likelihood of these great entry points happening in the next three to six months?

Thanks

Q: Hi folks,
I am looking to add 3 of CSU, AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL or VISA for some growth to my otherwise conservative RRSP portfolio. May I have your 3 recommendations that could add some "zip" to my RRSP account. Looking at a 10 year time frame.
Thanks,

Q: I am catching up on my reading and got to your article about Canadian Stocks that pay US dividends.

I do own a number of them. Most of them are in US accounts at my broker I guess it makes sense to have all of them on the US side to avoid loss of currency conversion.

Are there any other reasons?

Thanks

Sheldon

Q: I currently have approximately 2% of my retirement portfolio invested in Goldman Sachs Business Development Corporation Inc. (GSBD). I hold this investment primarily for the dividend income it generates. It has however been an absolutely terrible performer from a preservation of capital perspective over the past few years and every time it reports earnings it seems that the Net Asset Value per share has somehow dropped from the previously reported period. I am therefore considering switching out of GSBD and into Starwood Property Trust (STWD). i would value your opinion on that suggested trade.

If you might happen to feel that neither of these firms is a particularly advisable investment for anyone to hold then please don't be shy about saying so.

Thank you!

Q: Recently there has been some work done on distortions introduced by excluding stock based compensation from the financial statements. According to one London fund manager adding back $1.8 billion of compensation expenses actually places Intuit's P/E ratio at 43 rather than 28 times, which on the face of it seems worrisome. What is your take on this?
