Investment Q&A

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

Q: In the coming years, GIC rates will likely return to their previous norms, making it rare to find a GIC offering 5% or higher. I am considering increasing my holdings of TD shares in my non registered income portfolio instead of keeping too much cash. My theory is that TD has always been, and continues to be, a reputable bank that generates good profits. I believe TD shares are currently at a relatively low point, and I am thinking of giving them a heavier weighting in my portfolio. Do you agree? Thanks for your insights.

Q: I am setting up a TFSA for my wife. I have been managing my own TFSA for 7 years but my wife has maintained her account with a BMO investment advisor. We also both have RIFs managed by the same advisor. My TFSA has far outperformed the accounnts managed by the professional (thanks to your advice) but my wife is very risk adverse. She has about $100 K to invest. We are both in our 70s and don't have pressing needs for the cash. Could you. suggest a basket of Canadian/US stocks/etfs that would provide some low risk growth with a 10 year horizon.

Q: In regards to TD - the issue of accountablity arises. The AML lapses were well known inside the company - judging by the "LOL" internal emails. The CEO has profusely apologized - has he received any kind of consequences? Just generally at what point do the board of directors ever suffer consequnces for these type events - can you cite any examples? Just frustrating that branch managers or tellers might be held to account but not highly paid upper management for their lack of supervision.
Regards

Q: Following up on all the other TD questions today on the US penalties....do you think the future looks more like Wells Fargo when their growth was curbed (and it proceeded to lag for many years)? Or would you be a buyer now based on the recent underperformance and the known outcome (penalties). Bottom line...buy/sell/hold?

Q: Good morning,

Thoughts on TD from here? I had read earlier reports prior to this week’s drop that there was essentially no value being ascribed to the US retail bank. With the asset cap, what is forward PE and revised target price? I would like to think that even with no growth in the US retail bank, there clearly is some value there, and management will ultimately determine other, more strategic, ways to deploy capital that hopefully will be accretive to the stock price.

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i, I'd like to bring my position in TD to a full weight, and was wondering what your crystal ball shows as a floor. I'm thinking the weak hands will wash themselves of their holdings soon.

Looking at their 10 year CAGR [divi+growth] of approx 10%, a stock yielding 5% with a
5yr DGR of approx 8%, what could go wrong?

Thx

Q: I’m considering setting up a TFSA for a spouse who is not interested in selecting stocks/managing investments.
Should I stick to ETFs or mix ETFs with a few conservative stocks?

Q: We are planning to set up a separate investment account for our grandkids. Assume a 10 year hold. There are a few sectors we would want to overweight - 3 stocks, CAD or US, in Financials, Industrials, Technology and 1-2 stocks in the others. What would you look for and how would that translate into individual stock selections.
