Investment Q&A

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

Q: I see a few people asking about when to buy CSU. As you said, historically speaking, there has never really been a bad time to buy this stock.

Each year, I max out my TFSA contribution in January and I buy as much CSU stock as I can (started buying at $600/share). I started doing that years ago based on your recommendation and it's one of my biggest gains. I'm up massively and I never think once about what the price is when I submit my buy order.

There aren't many stocks like that in my portfolio but I stand by CSU.

Q: Hello, last question on bond ETFs: for diversification purposes, having in my RSP individual canadian bonds, it might be interesting to invest in VGAB or VBU for additional money in fixed income products. For a long term investment, which ETF is preferable for the next few years: VGAB or VBU (given the interest rate context, etc.)? Thanks.

Q: Please explain the drop in TOL stock price when all the metrics look are looking good (as far as I can tell).

Does profit taking explain a 5% drop? What would be the logic in selling the stock of a company that has tailwind ?

Finally, if systematic, would a good contrarian strategy to buy those dips?

Thank you very much, especially for your patience with member's layman questions.

Are there any reits u feel particularly positive on to deploy resulting funds into for 2025 and if not yr favoured sector to deploy funds into in 2025?

Generally reit performance has been anemic this year n not certain if this will change in 2025.

Q: I feel I have too many small positions (2% or less) in a diversified RRIF. All are above water except for DOL which is the most recent buy. Could I have your input re eliminating 2 (or 3) of the holdings and applying the funds to the other 3 (or 2)? Thank you.

Q: I did believe that " only USA located" energy (oil+gaz) growth stocks were an interesting investment considering certain isolationist tendencies coming in 2025, quite positive US economic performance, and other factors in the unstable world market. I did invest in these 2 Cies this week at a very low point ; after only 3 days, the losses are already 5% and 7% respectively, every single day reaching the lowest value of the year for DVN..Is it a situation of "falling knives" ,or an excessive correction, hold or sell as an impression according to the risk ? thanks for some light in this situation !
