Investment Q&A

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

Q: At today's current valuation and forward outlook which do you prefer? A short explanation would be great, plus how long do you thing these "picks and shovels" stocks have to go before spending slows down? Would you prefer the companies with the access to the "data" to be more of a longer term AI strategy? Thx.

Q: My niece is looking to enter the DIY investing world and move her TFSA over to an online self-directed account. Her advisor has her in these high fee accounts above. These look like funds for a retired person looking for income rather than for a 29 year looking to grow a TFSA with the goal to hopefully get a down payment for a condo some day. Could you please give some advice for a beginner investor, ETF's some Canadian and US equities to get her started. She's a bit nervous as all ne DIY investors are. Thank you

Q: Good morning all; Could I get your assessment of Trex for 3-5 year hold. The products seem to have broad appeal; particularly in what will at some point become a growing build and reno (their primary customer) environment. The breadth of product offering is expanding annually. With $1B + and growing sales, an aggressive "sustainability" effort and decent margins this stock is intriguing after yesterday's 6% decline (not sure why it declined so much).

Q: We are disposing of a rental unit and will be looking to invest in canadian dividend stock in an effort to reduce taxes. We are in our 70s so income is as or more important than capital gains. How do we determine if a companies dividends are eligible for the tax credit and where can I find a list of those companies? Am I correct that any portion considered return of capital is excluded? Could you recommend 10 of your favourites best ones first based on high yields and some measure of safety. Lot of questions so help yourself to many allotments as you wish..lol

Q: Thomson Reuters via LSEG Stock Report Plus (on the iTrade platform) gives LLY-N an Average Score of 4 out of 10. From my perspective, this is a low score given the momentum in the stock price of LLY-N. Any insights about this conundrum, at least in my mind?.....As it makes me wonder about continuing to hold a small position in LLY-N.....Thanks......Tom

Q: Everyone, I have been investing since 1981 and during that time very few people are interested in talking about investments. My two adult children are the same. Any ideas how I can get people talking about investing money? Clayton
