Investment Q&A

Q: Would appreciate you ranking these 3 stocks with regard to risk and rank them separately according to growth. Is now a good time to invest in all three.

Q: Hello there!

Which stocks would you suggest for industrial sector exposure? Can you name maybe 2 canadian and 2 US stocks and rank it, your favorite first?

Thank you

Frank

Q: Thanks for your great service during these tough times. Also, great talk at the Money Show! Portfolio Analytics says I need to increase my real estate exposure. I am looking at COR and was wondering how does this company grow? Could one expect its growth to be heightened with the world becoming more and more digital?

Q: I currently hold MSFT and AAPL in all of my portfolios - I am thinking about adding GOOG to each as well - would you suggest I top up MSFT and AAPL or add a new position with GOOG - your opinion is greatly appreciated.

thanks

Q: Hello, I have a small position in above 4 companies and would like to accumulate to ~ 5% on a market pull back. DSG, ENGH, KXS, OTEX
In terms of : PEG and P/E ratios, management, earnings growth , revenue going forward: say from 2019 to 2021E, and in the current work from home, e-commerce, cloud infrastructure, which one(s) offers the best return?
Also, could you comment on what these companies do? who do they help? small or large enterprises?
Thanks for all your help.

Q: I thought FTG’s latest qtr was impressive qtr given covid and the impact on their aerospace clients. What is your take on the qtr? I’m thinking about putting this on my smallcap shortlist and adding some on weakness.

Q: Please advise of the risk in buying otc/pink sheet stocks. Thanks, Bill

Q: Retired dividend-income investor with minimal healthcare exposure (2% of equities). If I wanted to increase my health care exposure via an ETF and receive a dividend, which ETF would you chose? Which type of account would you buy them in...RRSP, TFSA or Cash (I'm thinking about income tax implications and USA withholding issues)? In a previous comparison, you indicated you preferred LIFE over HHL, although in another question you preferred XHC overall. I am sitting on roughly 8% cash and currently think I may wait for 2nd Qtr earnings to unfold, or possibly wait until the USA election...I know this is market timing, but I just don't trust where we are at right now. Once Q2 earnings are in, I might invest the $/month over the next 6 months strategy.

So, which ETF would you choose and would you wait for Q2 earnings to be done?

Thanks...Steve

Q: I currently have a half a position in XGI and 65% are holdings in the USA.

Can you recommend similar industrial ETF's with more European /Global exposure and less USA

Thx

Steve

Q: Hi there,

This one has significantly underperformed the tech market. Is there something i am missing here - seems like a reasonably inexpensive tech stock, paying a dividend, and what seems like the right space. What am i missing here?

Cheers

Q: What baffles me is that no matter what price ENB is at it's always favored by I-5, although in essence it has become a garbage investment! Thankfully I exited at $55 and never looked back!

Q: SHOP has dropped quite sharply this afternoon. All I see that might explain this is a release about Adcore. Can you shed any light on this and what Adcore means to SHOP?

Q: I am thinking of purchases of these 6 ETFs (or some of them). Would you see ZPAY, FCIQ, and FCUQ as being defensive? And back to the "where should I hold" issue: where would these 6 best be held for tax or other efficiencies: Cash account? RRSP? TFSA? Corporate account? Many thanks.

Q: Which of these three stocks has the most upside. I am up 127% in real and thinking of selling some and buying well or stc. Should i let real run or but one of the others. This is in a registered account so there is no taxs to worry about.

Q: Can you explain why Interfor gained 6% today and also if you think they are a hold. I bought it near the bottom and I’m thinking of selling.
Thanks for the great advice.

Q: Hi I am interested in investing in bicycle company stocks, can you suggest some names, country doesn't matter.

Thanks!

Q: As per a New York Post and WSJ articles, ATD would be interested in acquiring Speedway from Marathon Petroleum and is apparently looking at selling some of it US Circle K gas station to appease US regulators and, maybe, to free some cash. What would be your views if this transaction materialize.

Q: On the payment of Dividends. I have a TFSA trading account with a Canadian bank. The information they provide includes the dividend rate and if the dividend is paid monthly, quarterly or annually. All the companies except one in which I hold shares either pay their dividend according to the info provided by the bank and I get a notice from the companies if the dividend will be paid or altered in any way. The one exception apparently has a boardroom meeting once a quarter, decides which of their papers will be paid a dividend that quarter or not. It is hard to tell from their press release if the common shares which I hold will get paid a dividend that quarter or not. In the 4 yrs I have held this company there were 2 years of zero dividends and 2 years of payments every other quarter. I spoke with my banks rep on the matter advising the info they provide on this company is misleading - they do not really pay a quarterly dividend, in fact they just decide quartertly if they want to or not. The bank rep informed me that the onus to do research on the company was on the purchasers of the shares. The company in question is in Greece, which makes it difficult to research, plus if that company had a known history of skipping dividend payments for years, that that should be something material for the bank to include in their Company stock info. Where would you come down on the issue of what is material info to invite potential buyer of dividend paying equities.

Q: With Mr. Buffett buying pipeline assets should this bode well for ENB. Thx

Q: I would appreciate your view on this stock
Thank you, Team!
