Investment Q&A

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

Q: I currently have, in ETFs, 20% in U.S. (VTI) and 10% in international (5% in VEF and 5% in VEE). I'm thinking that long term my U.S. and Int'l should be equal weight as one never knows what countries will perform the best. What are your thoughts on this and recommendations? Thank you.

Q: Hello,

Can you suggest an etf or stock suggestion to capture the global increase in defence and security spending. Also Trump is pushing hard on G7 countries to increase defence budgets. A lot of money could be flowing towards that sector. Also are these increases already priced in? Thanks. Shyam

Q: I have owned the above US ETF's for several months in contemplation of the supposed TRUMP build out. It's not happening and I'm not satisfied. For a major change I am considering TJX, COST, V, DEO & AAPL. How would you rank & what other individual cos. would you recommend. Thank you.

Q: TMB has been "range-bound" (about $2.98 to $3.00) since about Feb.1/17. Targets by several analysts and companies (Thompson Reuters and TD for example) range from $3.75 to $4.00. S&P rate it as a "Strong Buy" (in the 6th percentile!).I can't make sense of the situation and I guess my question comes down to:
Is TMB good buy now (with some reasons)?

Q: Saputo has been very weak as of late,m with the dairy disputes stock has lost approx 7 percent in the past few trading days alone. What do you think of the situation? Would you step in? Or would you let the waters settle first (as in not catching a falling knife).

Many thanks

Q: I don't usually like market timing and don't really believe in this "sell in may..." stuff, but this year is a little different. What are your thoughts if the Trump administration is unable to come up with a concrete tax reform plan by may/june? Would they have time given congress goes into break shortly after? I would expect there would be volatility ahead, but have you experienced similar events like this in the past where there's been bets on policy changes that don't materialize?
