Investment Q&A

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

Q: The 7% CVD is being called early. It is in my RRIF and converts to 121 shares per thousand.

Do you suggest converting into the common shares which are now selling at $12.53 or would you sell the CVD for $151?

In other words, do you like TVK as a RRIF holding or do you think I could do better.
And if so what would you suggest with the proceeds?

Q: Hi,

Having sold DRG.UN & CGX, I'm sitting on some cash.

Could you give me your top 5 relatively safe, relatively high dividend/distribution paying choices to replace these?

Sector is not important. Getting a benefit from companies whose price is depressed due to tax loss selling is a bonus but not critical.

Thanks,

Gord

Q: I am a huge believer in asset allocation. I even subdivide the mutual funds and ETFs into their sectors, then add in my stocks to end up with a better total portfolio asset allocation. However now and then I end up with a stock that, depending on the source, is quoted as being in different sectors.

Example #1 = CSH is both a REIT and in Health Care, so I treat it as a hybrid and allocate 50% to REITs and 50% to HC.

Example #2 = TRP is said to be in both the Utilities and Energy sectors. Even though I believe it is truly a Utility, it seems to trade closer to stocks in the Energy sector. So, I allocate 50% to each sector.

So...what to do with my potential purchase of NTR. Depending on the source, It could either be Consumer Non-Cyclical or Materials. OR, to be consistent with my above methodology, is it a hybrid and therefore allocate 50% to each sector?

Thanks for your help...Steve

Q: Peter, I understand that many of Couche-Tard's convenience stores are anchored by gas stations. Do you foresee a risk relating to (or has the company planned for) the gradual but inevitable reduction in gas-powered vehicles, as EVs replace them? It seems to me that if the Company can commit the capital for, and has the room for, high-grade charging stations, there could be more upside than downside because drivers will be forced to 'kill time' in the stores while their vehicles recharge. But if the Company can't or won't provide charging stations, this would seem to lower its customer base over time. Your thoughts appreciated!
