Investment Q&A

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

Q: I currently hold these stocks with a good profit in the American companies and a slight loss in the Chinese companies. While I know your focus is Canadian stocks I would appreciate comments on any or all of these holdings and, in particular, should any be sold if I plan to hold for a three to five years.
Please charge my account appropriately for the multiple stocks in my question.
With appreciation!

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
I know you are not as familiar with the US. A family member is thinking of a small investment in his portfolio of ARNA Arena Pharma in the US.
Would you be able to give some comments on your thoughts and whether for a younger person not risk adverse how far devoting a half position to this company would be any wiser than a casino visit?
Thanks and have a great day
Dennis

Q: SAFM released the 3rd qtr results today which were underwhelming. I can understand a slight decline in sales but there must be something in the expenses which was not explained in the release. The company has been disappointing for several qtrs now. Your thoughts about this company going forward will be appreciated.

Regards
Ian

Q: I want to invest in the Cdn and US Tech sector, however I don't want to purchase stocks using US currency. I would like to have exposure to both US and Cdn Tech companies via the TSX. What do you suggest?

Thanks

Q: There are not many Canadian stocks in the healthcare sector. Telus is now in the Electronic Health Records business, and Loblaws now owns Shoppers Drug Mart. Would you consider L and T to be partially healthcare?

Do you have any stock suggestions for healthcare in Canada? If not, could you recommend US or European stocks that would be advisable?

Thank you,

Fed

Q: Hi Team,
When I took a position on Google in early 2013, it represented in C$ about 5% of my portfolio. Now with stock price appreciation over the years and a much weaker C$, my GOOGL holding now accounts for 14% of my portfolio.
I would like to get your advice on if I should take some money off the table or just sit tight and hang on to my current position given that my risk tolerance level is high.
Cheers
