Investment Q&A

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

Q: Your return on the balance portfolio is around 14% per year since inception. I am updating my own personal financial model, and is this a reasonable return to use? I presume this number includes yearly dividends. It does seem a little high given it is in a low interest rate period but that may be irrelevant.

Q: Building on Jeremy's suggestion to Kim's question today on drawdown of RRSP and other retirement holdings, here are a few free calculators I have found helpful:

The latter is more flexible. Also books by actuary Frederick Vettese are very good, and there is a free site for one to calculate CPP payouts if you are inclined to drawdown early or defer:

Q: Admittedly, I am not a patient investor. I am disenchanted with Boyd and have to believe that either or all of the other equities mentioned above (which I am not fully invested in) should be a better investment for the medium/long term. Could you please comment on this and suggest the equities, in order of growth expectation, I could replace Boyd with.
Thanks,

Q: In my RRIF I hold the above 5 stocks in the "financial" sector:

1) What impact, positive or negative will interest rate reduction have on each of the stocks?
2) Would you please rate the 5 for total return possibility over the next 12-18 months, and
3) They represent about a 25% of the RRIF - would you be comfortable with this level of allocation n the current environment?

Thanks,
Terry

Q: Hi 5i Team, I Have two questions following today's significant deal between BCE and Rogers.

1- Market reaction was a bit negative on Rogers stock following the deal with BCE, What would be the trigger point to take a position in Rogers following that deal should Rogers stock keep falling.

2 Following that deal between these two giants, which company would you consider the best deal BCE or RCI.B at current levels?

Thx for your opinion.

Michel
