Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello. I have a 31-year old son who I've been investing on behalf of for the past two years. Since he started earning a regular income, he has loyally saved and invested in his TFSA (up to the maximum allowance) and started to make some contribution to his RRSP as well.

In his TFSA, he has three stocks (TD, AQN, ECI) and other Canadian and US ETFs (VFV, XIU, XEG, ZLB, XQQ, VEF). Now, given the fact that he has some time before retirement, my new plan is to sell ECI, AQN, or possibly BOTH to buy into more growth-oriented stocks. Do you think my new strategy makes sense? Should I sell ECI, AQN or both or none?

In my mind, there are several stocks that fit into a long term growth strategy. These include SIS, PBH, ATD.B, KXS. If you can think of a better one, please let me know. Your advice is very much appreicated. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

Q: Reko generated 19MM in cash in the most recent fiscal year ending July'16.
They just delivered another profitable quarter along with their FIRST ever dividend of 20 cents as a special dividend. With a hard book value of 6.61 and working capital of 3.15 per share and virtually debt free how would you assess the investment potential of the company?

Q: TFI has had a great run recently. I am not complaining (!), but...
The stock was languishing earlier this year and dipped below $20 in Feb. Now it is $34. I know about the new acquisition however I hardly think the company has improved its value by 70% over these past 9 months or so. What is the cause of this run? Can't see how Trump is going to help them. They are now at 15 or 16 x 2017E. I am patient and not overweight on the stock despite the gains. What to do?

Q: Hello, Lucara sent out a press release today indicating completion of sale of 12 large diamonds totalling $38+ million. Wondering how you feel this will impact the stock price.
Also, I note a large run up in price of Grande West Transportation. Anything other than recent sales (incl USA)? Could this be a New Flyer proxy?
Thank you,
Brian
