Investment Q&A

Q: Awhile back I asked a question about the Horizon etf's , which pay in capital gains, rather than dividends. You were good enough to supply me with HXS and HXT. The HXS is the S&P 500. But, it is bought in Canadian dollars. I didn't mention it but I was looking for one that could be bought and sold in US dollars. Is there something from Horizon that can do that? Or, from another company?
thanks for the great service

Q: The only financial stock I own is TD. I would like to sell this stock and replace it with 3 financial stocks. It is for a RRSP but have 15 years before the money will be used. What 3 financial stocks would you recommend to buy?

Thanks

Q: To this point in time LMN has been a solid performer in my TFSA. Recent results and some of your comments have "cooled" my expectations going forward.

Do you have 2 CDN and 2 US stocks for a TFSA 3 year plus hold that you feel will substantially outperform LMN.

Thanjs,

Terry

Q: Just speculating on the possibility that propel could be bought out by one of the major banks in Canada-I don’t believe they offer a similar type of business and this seems like way to diversify a little

Q: I have a general question and am using CN Rail and CGI as examples.

These 2 companies have an average annual sales growth of less than 5% per year over the course of the last decade and their EPS is higher. In the last 5 years the average EPS growth has been in the double digits and their average sales growth less than 5%. I know they buy back shares every year but this can not account for such a large variance. I know they try to be more careful with expenses but you can’t cut expenses forever. You would normally think that EPS follows Sales (to some extent over the years). I know you like these companies and have a few questions.
1. Any idea what is behind the variance between sales and EPS. (Mid to low single digit sales growth and double-digit EPS growth.)
2. Considering such a variance, if average sales growth remains under 5% can these companies continue to compound our return in the double digits over time. Why would they continue to be good long term investments?
3. Anything else that may be worthwhile sharing.

Thanks.

Q: Should we worry about those recent earnings? Still hoping the real estate spinoff is worth the wait.

Q: I see that you sold 100% of your position in BRP in your model Growth Portfolio in October. I recognize that it is a cyclical company and having a rough patch right now, but in the past it has managed well through its cycles an prospered. I believe it is a quality company and I'm wondering why you sold it rather than riding it out with them? Thanks very much.

Q: Why has BRK.B increased it’s cash position to current levels? Clearly it is looking through the froth and exuberance right now. What might it see others do not?

Q: What ETF would you consider as a proxy to BCE with the goal of getting a somewhat higher payment of either dividend or interest, within an RRSP.

Thank you

Paul

Q: A year ago I asked for your assessment of the prospects of Fiserv. A year later it is up substantially. Given its share price gains and recent earnings release I would appreciate an update on your assessment of the company over 3-5 years. I would also like your opinion on this stock being a buy, hold, or time to take some profit off the table?

Thanks very much.
