Investment Q&A

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

Q: With all these lawsuits, tariffs and inquisitions going on these companies due to their overall dominance / killing competition etc..How much is it affecting their ability to conduct business.. or the costs are so small, it is just a cost of doing business for these companies? Is it really impacting their revenues, profits etc..I can see it affects their ability to buy new businesses.. Thanks. Regards, Shyam

Q: I'm looking for some ideas on how to strengthen my healthcare holdings, which only account for 5% of my portfolio. I have a full position in NVO, half positions in CSH.UN and SIS, and have just started to build a position in the PSCH small cap health care fund. GUD and COV are technically present, but both are losers and small enough to ignore/sell.

Q#1: What additions/changes would you suggest for a retired person who is in pretty solid financial shape (5 year holding horizon, can tolerate some risk, but not aiming to shoot out the lights)?

Q#2: What percentage of the total portfolio would you aim to put in healthcare these days? It seems like there are a lot of developments in this field.

Q: I realize this topic has been discussed before but I still cannot understand the continued widening spread between these two securities. The spread between BEPC and BEP.UN has now widened to almost $20. Seems way overdone. If I wanted to add in a registered plan which would you recommend and why. Do you believe BEP.UN would eventually increase relative to BEPC.
Thanks for your service.

Q: I am not invested in the market right now with the exception of a couple of multi family REITs in my RRSP. I have a lump sum that I would like to start investing gradually. Looking for stable names with good dividends that will not reduce or cut their dividend. I am thinking of starting with ENB, TD and BCE. Do you like these three and can you recommend a couple others. I would like these names to be the foundation of the portfolio and then I will add more growth oriented names as opportunities arise.

Thanks,
Jason

Q: I have a full position in WELL but am also intrigued with DOC based on your recent comments. Can you comment on the new appointments in the recent news release and the pedigree of management. Assuming DOC drops closer to the new bought deal price of $2.40 would you be a buyer here?
Thank you

Q: I see that ARK invest is selling some of their holdings of SE. I currently own a small portion of SE. Do you see any immediate risk? Is it still a good stock to hold today?
Also I have a little bit of SHOP. How is SE compared to SHOP? Should I keep both or get rid of one of them? or should I even sell my SE/SHOP and get AMZN? Thanks a lot

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

The above 4 REITS are part of my REIT basket in addition to other industrial and apartment REITS.

All are down a lot . Please hit me with sufficient credits to rank them best to worst in terms of prospects for capital appreciation on a risk reward basis considering various valuation metrics as well as the future as you see it.

Please indicate any clear winners or losers in the rankings

Thanks for all you do
