Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Folks,
I am looking to add to my Industrial sector. I currently hold CAE, WSP and CN. Can you give me some of your favorite names ( CDN or US ) and in order of preference that I can look at ( looking for dividend and some growth ) OR would you just add to the names above ( all winners ).
Thanks

Q: What do you think of this twenty stock dividend portfolio for a taxable account? I am focusing on high quality and it yields about 3.8% . Any changes you would make?

Q: Am I missing any major sectors with these stock investments?
Where should I focus if I would like to ensure a diverse portfolio?
Are there any stocks that I should dump?

Q: It seems to me that this is a critical juncture for the growth and development of these two companies, somewhat akin to the number 1 and 2 teams in the Northern Division playing each other in a hockey game. The winner will not only get a win but also deal the loser a loss at the same time. Your thoughts please.

Thanks!

Q: why are the shares in each company down?. is it because the mkt feels the merger with Kansas will be denied for both companies? . for the long haul do you feel this drop presents a buying opportunity for either company regardless of any merger? thanks Richard

Q: So what do you think about the CNR's outbidding of CP for KSU?

Q: Good Day
Today CNR fell more than 7%. The drop is attributed to the failed bid of CNR for Kansas City Southern.
Can you please comment how this failed bid will impact CNR’s earnings going forward. ? At today’s level of $138 is the stock attractive ? Would you add or hold at this level?

Q: Would you comment on the relative minvestmetn merit of our two large railways with or without a successful merger of CP with KC?

Q: If commodities continue to rally would you see the rails as a good lower risk proxy for the sector. Which of the two rails is cheaper on valuation.

Thanks

Q: Looking to add a transport for my industrials sector exposure. I have a bit of cargojet. I'm about breakeven. With the recent pullback, thinking of high grading and dumping cargojet for CNR or TFII. Wise decision? If so, which do you prefer?

Thanks!

Q: Based on Keystone XL decision, more crude will most likely be shipped by rail. US refineries need Canadian crude oil caused by shortfall from South America. Gibson plans to build facility to maximize crude content of rail shipments.
With footprint of tracks being different, who stands to benefit the most and why?

Q: Looking for a transportation play. These are the 3 that come to mind. 1) Am I too late to get in for economy opening play 2) which would be highest growth potential 3) is there a disruptor or smaller more leveraged play that you can suggest.

Q: Where do you think Canadian Railroad Stocks are going, and do you have a favorite?

Q: Bill Gates sold $370,000,000 worth of CNR shares recently. Are there any negative developments in your view with respect to this company? As well, I noted that two brokers have lowered their targets from $165 to $160 and from $155 to $139 respectively.
I will appreciate your comments with respect to CNR going forward. Is it a hold, sell or add to existing position?
Thanks

Q: Hi folks,
CP or CNR - I currently have both - CNR in my TFSA and CP in non-registered account . Would you sell CNR or CP at this time and why ? Thinking about buying more CP now that they have announced the split.
Thanks

Q: Hello -
I have a concern about the grossing up of Canadian dividends (non registered account) affecting my OAS when I reach 71. By that time I will be forced to RRIF, I'll have my CPP, and I also have a company pension that I will be drawing from prior to that.

I know you are not tax experts, but wondered if you see anything wrong with my thinking here. I am leaning more towards lower paying dividend paying blue chips in that non-registered account. I already have ATD.B and CNR. Are there any other quality Canadian companies that you are comfortable with in this "lower dividend" category?

Alternatively I was thinking I could "swap" some investments. i.e. have more Canadian dividend payers in my RRSP and have my emerging market ETF's - ZID and VEE - in my non-registered account. Do you think this is worth considering?
At least those dividends would not be grossed up. Although the trade-off is that you lose the dividend credit.......sigh.
