Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have a cash account set up that I draw from when needed. I am looking for dividends, safety and a bit of growth. I have all of the above in nearly all the same amounts but would like to add one more. Ignore diversity as I have all that covered by other accounts.

Q: When looking at all my accounts, I am slightly overweight in DSG but I also own TOI and TIXT. Long term investment, would you reduce exposure to DSG to increase TOI and TIXT. Which one do you prefer and why? Selling a portion DSG would not trigger a capital gain since in TFSA and RRSP. Thank you.

Q: What is your opinion on buying LEAPS on blue chip companies during a stock market downturn? I know it's still "timing the market", which you don't recommend, but I have had quite a lot of success doing this in the past, versus buying 30-90 day calls.

Q: Hi. I have several stocks in my RIFF and TFSA which pay dividends in American dollars although I have purchased them in Canadian dollars. (eg, BAM.A; Open Text etc.) The dividend payout is then converted to Canadian dollars. I like to use the DRIP feature when possible. In order to do so with funds that pay out in USD, I would have to move the securities to my USD. Is this a good idea or are there disadvantages to do so? The securities are long term holds in my portfolio. Thanks for your help.

Q: I have only CNQ in energy. I am wondering about adding one more holding as I read the answers to other members - that energy would be a good place to hide in the event that Russia does move ahead, and that there is some room for growth left in the sector. I'm particularly interested in adding a second holding for growth, and am not very concerned about risk. Please suggest a company for a second holding. Thanks!
