Investment Q&A

Q: My financial holdings are TD, BNS, BMO, MFC and SLF. With the recent surge in the banks I am looking to rebalance back to a 50/50 split between banks and insurance companies. If you were to add a third insurance company, which would it be? Or should I add a non-bank/insurance company like BAM or X which is still classified as financial? I am only interested in large cap, dividend-paying stocks.

Q: What would be your top 5 CDN DIV growth names ranked in order that can be set up as a DRIP. Thanks as always.

Q: Why would bam be down from 86 to 72 ???

Q: Hello Team,
Which of these two would you prefer for total return over the next few years and why?
Thank You,
Barry

Q: I currently own all of the above in various porfolios. In a concentrated TSFA which 3 from your balanced portfolio would you buy for long term. Currently own GLXY and PRL at great loss in TSFA would you add?
Thank you.

Q: Good Day, in an earlier question you indicated that the above 5 companies could be acquired for dividend income. What entry price would you recommend?
Thank you.

Q: If you were to buy 5 stocks for their dividend what would they be?

Q: want to raise some cash(tech breaking down technically) in what order would you sell the above listed stocks bearing some are winners and some are losers so what your recommendation sell winners or losers first without getting in to too much specifics. CSU as an example sell now to claim loss or then buy back after 30 days FFH on the other hand is up 60% so sell now and hope to buy back later at lower price. what would you do? Remember i want to raise cash so how would you approach this rebalancing ...thanks for your help

What is the biggest current concern that is negatively affecting stock price. I am trying to decide whether or not to take a position in one, or both.

Q: When is a good time to buy both Bam & BN,and good entry prices? Thx for U ueual great services & views

Q: I half positions in the ten stocks listed and I am down 12%+ in all of them. Please rank them in terms of best candidate(s) to increase to a full position now vs waiting. Also advise if the lowest ranked should just be exited altogether

Q: I currently only own TD, X and EQB in my RRSP. I would like to sell EQB and thinking of buying BN. Is this a good replacement stock or is there a better financial stock you like at this time. Money not needed for 20 years.

Thanks

Q: I have held a large Position in BIP.UN in my RRSP for many years. The equity has done OK but in looking back wonder why my Financial Advisor didn't suggest i rotate this into BN or BAM to gain max returns.

I don't need the income and it seems alot of BIP.UN's return comes in the form of the dividend which is not treated favorably within a Registered Account so BIP.UN seems not best for RRSP.

How would you suggest i better allocate these funds within a Registered Account between Brookfield companies to gain max benefit and at what price(s) would you suggest the switch?

Just on a side note i previously also held BEP.UN and my advisor suggested it was rated a Sell by Veritas so i let him sell at a very inopportune moment ($33). He claimed Veritas had a Sell on all Brookfield companies. Is Veritas a reputable rating Agency because they seem to just dislike any and all Brookfield entities?

Q: These companies are classified as 100% financials and 100% Canada. Doesn't holding ownership of BIF and others make them diversified across sectors and countries? Thanks

Q: BAM vs. RY—both are solid picks for income and long-term capital gains, and I currently hold both. I already have substantial exposure to bank stocks and the HCAL ETF. Since BAM falls under your strong-rated names, I’m considering increasing my position in BAM and trimming RY. Do you think that’s a smart move?
