Investment Q&A

Q: I'm currently holding Loblaws. It represents about 5% of my portfolio. If was just purchased a few months ago. I'm a long term investor. Do you think it's worth holding for 5 years plus. If not can you recommend another in this sector. I think this is a great site and love the job the staff at I5Reseach are doing. I read this site daily.

Q: Good day Peter....This is an amendment/update to my earlier e-mail question about rebalancing a RRSP portfolio. In the e-mail I mentioned "income with steady growth, and on further thought, what I really would like/am aiming for is steady growth. For me,the income/dividends is/are really a fall out/come along with the stocks. (This especially true for the pipelines over the last five years. But it is getting through to me/sinking in from reading your posts and responses that a balanced portfolio is a better practice than just pipelines, financials and REITS.) In a way, for a non-registered account, I would prefer growth companies but for a RRSP, I'm inclined to me more conservative and by that I label it as steady growth. Thanks for provoking thinking for all this........Tom M

Q: Hi, I have read that Choice Properties is expected to close around July 5th, do you know when it is expected to be offered for sale to investors? Thanks.

Q: Loblaws(L-T) has had a great week with the stock increasing over 10% and they also increased the dividend. Their turnaround strategy finally seems to be woking. In your opinon is this a good entry point. Thanks. (Gerry)

Q: With Loblaw'S (L-T)recent announcement of the conversion of their properties to a REIT I am finally making some money with them, about a 7% gain. I hesitate to sell because I think there is still good potential for further increases in their stock price due to the major changes that they are implementing in their stores including technological changes. What is your opinion. Thanks. (Gerry)
