Investment Q&A

Q: I bought Hershey in my RRSP in mid-2024. While mostly known for chocolate, the company has been diversifying into non-chocolatey snacks. However, the stock price remains down due to high cocoa prices. Would you be content to hold Hershey and collect the dividend until cocoa prices drop? Would you have some other suggestions? I tend to go for boring US dividend payers that also have some growth potential in my RRSP. My top holdings right now are MSFT, COST, MA, BIP.UN, ENB, and O. I also hold VOO as an underlying holding. Thank you.

Q: OUSM: Kevin O’Leary mentioned this ETF that he helped design on BNN on Friday. It covers 380 companies of the Russell 2000 Index that are profitable. It also pays a monthly distribution. What are your thoughts ?

Q: I have a strong cash position in my RRIF and wish to reinvest in good growth/Dividend stocks for the long term. Could you suggest 3 CDN and 3 USD companies for todays market and holding long term.
Thanks
Peter

Q: Your thoughts on these 3 stocks at this point in time.

Thank you

Q: I've been looking for stocks with favourable value metrics which also demonstrate solid earnings growth and have come up with the above list. It's a little heavy on the retail end which worries me somewhat with covid still being a thing. At the same time, retail stocks are enjoying solid sales and anecdotally, it seems to me that people are anxious to get out there and spend.

With respect to Doo, H&R Block, WSM, and BBY, these have seen decent levels of share repurchases which is appealing for obvious reasons.

What do you think of my list with a view to holding and forgetting for at least one year? Anything you would cut out? I don't like foot locker as a store for instance but the financials appear attractive. Thank you as always,

Jason

Q: I see the above recently reported earnings. If you were looking at this sector at this time, would this be a company you would favour over others. And if not, is this a space and who would be your favourites
at this time? Thank you....Maureen
