Investment Q&A

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

Q: After 6 1/2 years I finally sold Verizon as its share price and prospects have been trending downwards.

I hold BCE and T, together worth 7.2% of my portfolio. I usually keep Telcos at around 10% so I am debating whether to add to BCE and T or to consider Rogers or Cogeco to replace V.

- BCE and T have both been on a tear and sporting rich RSI's, but have a notably higher yield than RCI.

- Rogers is up 50% in the last 21 months.

- Cogeco has caught fire after years of treading water.

What's a guy to do?

Thanks!

Kim

Q: hello 5i:
a question of a technical nature. I hold Telus and BCE, not quite full positions. In our area, Telus has just upgraded to the 4G network; yet, I read that both AT&T, and Verizon, are upgrading to 5G networks. Will this put Telus behind the curve, and will shares suffer as a result? Are any of the Canadian companies upgrading to 5G networks, or is this even relevant (ie, they'll play catch-up and it won't matter?)
thanks

Q: My son is currently 39 years old and is trying to develop a solid diversified portfolio. All of his holdings are in his RRSP except for some money in a Tangerine International growth fund which is in his TFSA. He has some new funds to add to his holdings. Could you please recommend some companies from your model portfolios that would add more diversification to his portfolio keeping in mind his relatively long investment horizon. As always, thanks for your advice.

Q: Hello 5i,
I want to buy two stocks to balance my portfolio which is overweight in Consumer, Financial and Health Care. In my watch list I have the following stocks.
Materials: MX
Industrials: ECI, EIF, KWH.UN
IT: ENGH, SYZ
Telecom: T
Utilities: BEP.UN
Which two stocks (sectors) would you buy at the present time? If (when) there is a correction, which sectors are more likely be on “sale”?
Thanks!

Q: I asked this question yesterday but you did not include Telus in you reply. Could you let me know your opinion of this company.
Thanks

Q: I took this morning's post-earnings weakness as a chance to purchase Telus, which has been on my "to buy" list for a while. There was a one-time contract issue affecting their profit this past quarter, but they seem on pace with respect to wireless subscriptions, low attrition rates, and dividend increase schedule. I purchased it in my RRSP for a 30+ year hold. Good move?

Q: If Canadian interest rates remain the same (or even go down) this year, while US interest rates rise, what effect would this have on Canadian companies/stocks in the telecom (T), insurance (SLF), bank (BNS), and utility (BEP.un) sectors? Thanks in advance!
