Investment Q&A

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

Q: This is comment in reference to a Question by Bryan:
It would be more beneficial for Bryan to have the other spouse as the successor to the RRSP (only spouse can be successor and basically the TFSA money transfers into TFSA of the spouse - no contribution limit affected). They can then have the beneficiaries if the successor has predeceased the account holder. I thought this might be something that Bryan and/or other members in similar situation can consider. Thanks.

Q: My wife and I are 66 years old. We each have a TFSA which we are trying to maximize. These would be the last two accounts we would ever take money out of. Our children are the beneficiaries so these are long term accounts - hopefully! We each have RRSPs and share a non-registered account we use for income. We don't have any fixed income but do have enough cash to last us 3 years. No pensions, but are quite diversified in a number of blue chip stocks.

Between the two of us we have PHO, SIS, TOY, BNS, TSGI. None of which has been very good lately but we are patient. We have enough money for two more positions, and think it would be prudent to add two, more stable, names. OTEX, BOYD, GC ? Suggestions?
THANK YOU !

Q: I own PEY - would you continue to hold with the low P/E and dividend being well covered but the trend is not good or would you sell and if so, why would you sell? If you recommend selling, what would you buy with the proceeds and why?

Q: Hello 5i,
I am down 11% in each Power Corp (POW.TO) and Power Financial (PWF.TO) I am holding each for the dividend as a value investor at 72 years with a 10 year outlook. You had suggested replacing them with BCE or something else in answer to someone else's question. Would that apply in my circumstance or should I just keep holding for dividend?
thank you

Q: Any insight with management at SYZ? I can not find any reason behind the precipice drop over the last few days. I totally got it wrong and bought recently only to watch it fall off a cliff. I am out now too wild a ride for me. I am questioning whether your small caps are worth holding in these markets, no one gets them all right but this is getting painful.
Still listening but wondering if some of your response should take what seems to be a terrible space for cdn small caps into consideration and few more get out while can responses would be in order. lol ..sort of...rant is over.

Q: Can you please offer your opinion on Grubs share price dynamic from yesterdays opening bell. From your previous statements on Grubs spend to grow their report shouldn't have been a surprise. So why the panic dive followed by sober opportunists. And how to cope with that? I sold at -20% only to watch the recovery in horror. You've often mentioned ignore the first hour of trading, but it was still down 10% at mid day, enough to sell by most peoples sell rules.
From a dazed and confused former Grub share owner.
Thanks Peter.
