Investment Q&A

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

Q: I was watching an interview with David Rosenberg and Ed Devland. They were stating that the Canadian interest rates are going to have to be cut several times due to economic conditions. Can you recommend investment strategies to benefit from this . For example bonds going up in value because of the inverse relationship of interest rates and bond values. What bond etf's ect. Can you give US recommendations also, as it sounds like the Us will be later than Canada.

Thanks

Q: I hold AVGO in my RRIFF. I sold half of my holding when it was trading at 3.5 times my cost base, to reduce my exposure back down to 3% target weight in my overall portfolio. It's now trading at nearly 6 times my cost base and is at 4.6% portfolio weight. If it continues to run I will sell half again when it hits 6%. Is this a sound strategy? At what price would AVGO need to reach before you would say it was approaching bubble territory and I should cash out entirely?

Q: Sold both for tax loss.
Wondering about proxies for both. Could you suggest a couple? If the proxy goes up in the 30 days, I presume you would keep the proxy until it changed direction. What is the thinking on this process. What if it goes down?
Thanks on your thoughts

Q: You recently replied rather positively to a question regarding using Wealthsimple as à brokerage. I have tried them out on a small scale and found them to be very good. I have vaguely considered switching our whole portfolio over there. I hesitate, though, because of the large and established companies like TD. Since you see Wealthsimple as safe as these, do you see any great advantages of these larger companies, which would be an impediment?
Thanks

Q: portfolio strategy question

I have adopted a dividend investment strategy of investing predominantly in canadian dividend paying equities and as expected am overweight in financials, telecom and utilities, this strategy allows me to sleep well at night, I am looking at enough dividend income from the portfolio to retire on and not have to touch the principle investment.

besides the lack of diversification in geography and sector. can you give me your opinion about concerns you may have with such a strategy and what you would suggest doing otherwise ?
