Investment Q&A

Q: Please explain the significance, or otherwise, of the recent secondary offering. Is QSR now buyable or would you tend to hold, or sell?

Thank you.
Geoffrey.

Q: Your thought on Restaurant Brand quarterly report. Do you think that growth will accelerate and back to normal? Thank you!

Q: Seems the "cold war" with China is about to heat up, what with Biden and other nations about to try and corral China. At the same time, China is putting restrictions on it's own national companies listed on foreign stock exchanges. Then there is GOOS and QSR wanting to expand into China and their respective P/E multiples reflect this expected growth. With this changing and rather negative context, is it time to selling positions in GOOS and QSR?......Tom

Q: My wife has full positions of BMO, ENB, LIF, POW and RSI in her RRIF. She has some cash to deploy, looking for quality income stocks with decent dividend yields. Would you have any suggestions?

Thank you!

Q: Hello: I'm looking for several buy-and-hold "forever" companies. When I die, they will go to my children. Could you assess the above in those terms and rank order them, best first. I know you like all of these companies, but I"m not sure if you like them "forever." If you think I should drop any, please note. And if there are a couple not on the list that you think could be, also please note. Thank you for continued excellent service.

Q: I am into your Balanced Equity portfolio for my CDN equity exposure. Thinking of switching out of PBH and replace with QSR with the idea that PBH has had a good run but admittedly I missed most of it. Does this seem reasonable to you?

Q: Hi Guys....great service. Looking for an undervalued stock that you think could have a big rebound in the next 6 months to 1 year...do you have a few on your radar?(US or Canada)….thinking of something at least mid-cap....thx

Q: Hi, looking to high grade my portfolio and swap QSR for MED. Small gain currently with QSR. Can you compare the two fundamentally and do you see MED having higher growth potential? Which would you rather own?

Can you rank these for long term growth? BYD, QSR, DOL, DIS, SBUX, MG, ATZ

Thank you!

Q: As a retiree, I am looking for some solid long term investments for my non-registered account. Can you please make some recommendations. Thank you.

Q: I would like to buy shares in a restaurant company that stands to profit from the removal or reduction in Covid restrictions. I intend to buy this in a TFSA and hold it for a year or longer. How would you rank these companies in terms of expected overall return? Or could you recommend another company that might do better than any of these?

Q: Have been thinking of buying a bit of QSR to play the reopening. It has a fairly good dividend history but it keeps going down in price. What would you deem to be a "safe" (this is less than professional terminology) price to pay?

Q: Thoughts on restaurant brands going forward?

Q: Would you recommend QSR now for a long term hold, I could not find on the investor s site whether the dividend was an eligible for the dividend ta credit. Do you have that answer?
Thank you

Q: Hello, given the current US$ exchange rate and the loses still incurred on a handful of CDN stocks, I'd like to hear your thoughts on selling the decent dividend but significant double digit % loses to acquire more US$ and move it into GOOG & FB. Alternatively I have considered adding to VFV or starting a position in VGRO and leave it as CDN$. I am ~25% in USD of which I plan to use so I am not concerned with adding a few more points of USD. Thank you for your opinion.

Q: Non-registered account with goal of primarily dividend income has done quite well, with all of the noted holdings nicely in positive territory. In hind sight MG and SYZ would have been in a registered account. SYZ is up 63%, MG 24%.
Overall account yield is currently 3.8%. Would prefer it closer to 5%
Need some help with this "good problem". Take capital gain now and move into yieldier positions, or let running stocks run and deal with bigger gain in future?
If I move out of some of the growthier stocks, which div payers minimum 3% yield to move into?
Overall portfolio diversification is pretty decent, and diversification within this account does not have to be perfect - dividend security within this account is more important.

Thanks,
Jim

Q: Hi... your thoughts on QSR now and the quarter. Is the turn around at Tim Hortons beginning to take hold or still too early to say?

thx. Mark

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: Bought BAD a few months back as a recovery play and have done ok however recent results cause me to question the growth prospects. Should I continue to hold or sell and add to my existing positions in SIS, NFI, QSR and MG. All good recovery plays in my opinion.
Thanks

Q: For an Income balance portfolio which stocks and/or EFT would you recommended for Consumer cyclical and Consumer discretionary sectors? Preferably with some dividend to keep the desired Income Portfolio as a goal. As to my last question I also ask you for recommendations for an Income Balanced Portfolio for stocks and/or EFT in a Consumer Defensive sector.
Thank you,
Thank you.

Q: I have 200 Restaurant Brands losing $20 Per share. Should I keep this stock? My research seems to say that Tim Hortons entered the US in a saturated market among other woes. I see Popeyes is in Edmonton now another burger saturated market I would think.
