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 a question. I hold AGT in my TSFA at a price of $31.50/share. My question is how is it legal for the management to be involved in buying out the shares of the company at $18.00 [much lower than when most of us bought in] when they are the ones who were in charge?
I could see a takeover by a group who thinks the shares are undervalued, but how can management be involved? They could have drove down the price through management decisions so they could buy it at a ‘sale’ price and take it private. That’s what it looks like to me.
I am surprised I haven’t heard of a class action lawsuit about this.

Q: Regarding the question on equal weighting, you say that a better case can be made in Canada than in the US for it. One of the reasons that I would probably go for equal weighting in the US rather than market weighting is the high preponderance of FAANG stocks in say, VOO. if they go down en masse , which as you say they haven<t recently, you have problems.

Q: Overweight in utilities/pipelines. Took profits on CPX & AQN to reduce position and to buy in the consumer non-cyclial space. I currently hold WMT & VGG. I would like to add pure non-cyclical. What’s your opinion on PKI & PLC? Or would you suggest something else.

Q: My target allocation to Financials is 15%. Within that group, I would like your advice on the following selection and allocation: TD-25%; CME - 8%; SIVB - 8%; MFC - 8%; BAM - 16%; BX - 16%; FSZ - 12%; XLF - 6% [or another bank].
This grouping is intended to provide both overall yield and growth; accepting some volatility. What would, in your view, be a reasonable target return for such a grouping? Please advise on target percent allocation to the sector. Which ones would you recommend and what alternatives would you prefer?.
