Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have been steadily building a position in ATS over the past year.

Recently you answered a question ranking to buy ATS last for long-term growth potential, behind TRI, ATD & DOL.

Also from a recent response, ATS’ eps was expected to increase by 50% next fiscal.

So I’m not sure where to put new money amongst the above companies. Thoughts?

Portfolio-building sometimes feels like making castles in the sand; it starts looking decent, then a wave comes out of the blue ;0)

Q: There are a number of Canadian based NASDAQ100 and S&P500 ETF's. Which NASDAQ100 and S&P500 ETF would you prefer, or would be "best", for a TFSA account, and why? Would investing within an RRSP or in a non-registered account alter your selections and if so, why would that be? Thanks.

Q: Back on 1/20/2024, you thought that these companies (partnerships) would not have withholding tax in the states. I've since received communication from my broker that I have to arrange for a U.S. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). They didn't indicate which holdings, but I do own these two companies. Has the company updated their advice? Thanks.

Q: Can I ask you to do a “mental screen” for a few mid-cap Cdn companies that pay over a 3% dividend while having the potential for above average growth in the medium to longer term? Please omit SIS, PBH, EIF and NWC (already owned) and leave out anything in the energy sector. I’m assuming not much in the small cap space would meet the div. criteria and not much in the large cap space meets the growth criteria, but if you think anything there is compelling please include as well. Thank you.

Q: I have invested in a combination of your growth and balanced funds for 7 full years. Besides my profound enjoyment in following my investments, I ask myself if my 8.5% compounded return over these 7 years is satisfactory. A difficult answer I'm sure; I'm simply wondering if some form of longer term mix of ETF's or S&P 500 is more rewarding financially and forsaking my investment enjoyment. Your comment would be appreciated.
