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

Q: Hello:

Doing a little cleanup and wondering if NA, BCE, SJR.B or HPQ are worth holding. For sure I have plenty of Canadian financial exposure without NA. I also hold Telus but wondering about dropping Shaw and/or BCE. HP seems to be on the upswing with COVID but is it a long-term keeper?

And then, if you think some can go, what might I substitute? NVDA for HPQ? Would US telcom companies be attractive?

These are held in RRSP, 20 year horizon.

Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: HPQ was slowly working its way higher until it was hit by a ten percent fall last week. the fall occurred, apparently, because of a new director coming in and the decision to cut a number of jobs. I was a bit puzzled by this and wondered about your thoughts on the company. It seems to me that investors often like cuts, as they are meant to produce more money. Yet, here it is a reason for a drop. Perhaps the people don't like the new president? but, you would think that he would have been well known by this time. Perhaps they think that the new policy of cuts from a new president may be reckless and its efficacy is uncertain? I have been thinking of opening a position in the hope it will soon recover that ten percent it lost. I don't want to have this stock as part of my permanent portfolio but simpy as a trade. are there any cautionary remarks you might make on this strategy?
thanks
