Investment Q&A

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

Q: Further to my question on this company back in April, after their switch to a C suite company now do you see any hope for this company in terms of tailwinds or do you see this as a looser short term?
Am under water considerably but have patience if you see any hope for some price appreciation?
Thanks again Gary

Q: I invested in Blackstone in early 2018. It's had a fairly good run up since then. At the time it seemed to have a bright future, offered a reasonable dividend, and provided diversification through their investments in private equity which I had no exposure to.
How do you feel about it now? Worth holding onto for the same reasons?

Q: My daughter is 20 and has maximized her TFSA allotment in an annual lump sum for past three years, and is likely to maximize every year going forward. I'm trying to simplify her investing so what ETF's would you recommend if she doesn't need the money for three years? Would you recommend different ETF's if she doesn't need for 10 years? What about 20+ years?

Q: Good morning
On a RSP portfolio that is about 6% of our net assets, what would you think of the strategy of the Dogs of the Dow? Is it worth the trouble or would I be just as well to put in DIA, I could concentrate the low or no dividends in investments accounts.
I saw there is an ETF which purports to follow the dogs of the dow, but its mer is .75%, I would not spend that much in trading commissions in just following the strategy.
Your Thoughts?
Thank you.

Q: I understand that Beyond Meat's valuation is "beyond" believable ... but I'm wondering if there isn't something there. While I see that both Tyson and Maple Leaf are getting into the game, the question is: are these other products even edible?

I have not tried any of them, but it seems to be the consensus of the younger generations that Beyond Meat is beyond believable -- and the other products are "spit them out now before you choke". These other companies, while they may have a similar product, don't have the magic of Beyond Meat.

Do you not think that that might be a moat in itself -- and that Beyond Meat is buyable? I'm not saying back up the truck, or even a full position, but it certainly would seem eminently investable, given the quality of its product. Sometimes you pay for the name, while you wait for the valuation to catch up. Agree or Disagree? Your thoughts would be much appreciated!
