Investment Q&A

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

Q: Is it too late to buy SCL? I started watching this company in early February, and was trying to pick up shares just below $40 but it never got to my purchase price. I have been watching it go up higher and higher ever since, and now it is over $60, that would be a 50% gain had I been able to buy at my (stubborn) price of below $40.

How strict on purchase price should I be when I decide I like a company and want to buy its shares? Should I be rigid and stick to my pre-determined price, or should I just buy at market price once I decide to acquire a position in a company (with a minimum of a 1 year hold)?

I still like SCL, and wish I had purchased it when I made the decision to buy some shares. Should I just buy SCL now at $60, or give up on it since it has had such a large run up, and find something else I like?

Q: Hi Peter, have excess cash in RSP account and wondering about WIN/CCL.B/MDA/DHX. Do you have a preference from these? I have a 10 year time frame and own most of the more growth oriented stocks in the model portfolio. Thanks for Amaya and all the wonderful advice. Bill Y.

Q: Hi,
What is your current opinion on DOL (Dollarama)? I currently hold DOL and AYA for consumer discretionary exposure and ATD.B and CCL.B for consumer staples coverage. If you were to switch DOL for another Consumer Discretionary, what alternative(s) would you suggest? ( with a 20-yr time frame) Thank you.

Q: I bought Aecon (ARE) about six months ago. After a very healthy gain it has come back down lately. Given that I had regretted not taking a larger position initially, this may be an opportunity to add to my position. Can I please get your views on ARE, assuming a 5 - 10 year horizon. Thank you!

Q: Greetings Peter and Team,

Looks like CCL.B is off a bit these last couple of trading sessions. i only have a half weighting in my portfolio so was planning on topping ti up. Is there any news or other 'issues' that you see requires waiting?

Thanks again for all the great advice.
