Investment Q&A

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

Q: I enrolled in Portfolio analytics and found that your system does not recognize several of my holdings:
ishares msci switzerland etf
ishares msci netherlands etf
ishares msci japan etf
MAWER INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND 102 NL
MD BOND FUND MDM010
MD DIVIDEND GROWTH FUND MDM400
How can I include these holdings in my portfolio Analytics and do you have any comments on them. My inclination is to get rid of the fee based mutual funds and find something cheaper and with a better record
Thanks

Q: Hello Sages,

Between PHO and COV which one do like for a double first and which one gets bought out first?

As well I took a position on ATS on the way down, and it has finally churned higher. If I were to sell, would you wait until after the quarterly release or let it go now. No rush, and no need for the cash, just making a trade.

Thanks,

KC

Q: I currently own Cott on the US exchange and my PA states that I need to decrease my consumer cyclical and need to increase healthcare .I curently own TMO and thought I would sell Cott and buy more TMO as my weight in TMO is not very high. I would have a capital gain on Cott that I have to pay but in the longer term do think this is a good move?
Thanks

Q: I have a self-directed RSP trading account in my name and will soon be converting it to a RIFF. My wife is the younger (63yrs) so I would like to use the lower required withdrawal rate as the schedule dictates for her age. To do this would this mean that we would need the RSP/RIFF in both our names - or could I leave it in just my name?

Q: I am a bit light on Financial companies; 12% of my portfolio I want to go up to 15%. I own TD, BNS, SLF and GSY in about equal amounts. Do you have any suggestions to add another financial company. I am retired and do not want to add a high risk company.

Q: I'm looking for a couple of small and mid cap companies to invest in. I'm 52 years with not much in my RRSP. I need growth so I'll have to take on some higher risk. I only have one stock at the moment which is Photon Control.

Thanks Steve
