Investment Q&A

Q: Given that interest rates are projected to rise over the next while, would it make sense to shift some preferred shares to rate reset rather than perpetual? [I own some of both.]. If so, can you recommend any ?
Thanks

Q: Like to know what you think about atd.b. I’am a somewhat long term investor, I consider 3 years as the beginning of a long term hold and will hold at lot longer 5+ years if the stock is performing.
I have had look at atd.b with a three year chart and seen three years ago it was at about $57 and today it was at about $57, with a high of $68 a year ago. Did the have a stock split?
I do find it hard holding this stock as I only get .70% for waiting, and I do have a hard time picking the highs and selling.
Question is I do like a combination of dividend and growth ( I’m not greedy but do like to see something in 3 years) would you hang on, or could you suggest a company with more dividend and a little more growth.
Thanks for your comments

Q: Of the 5 mining Co's, which one would you say is most globally diversified with best growth prospects, if the world doesnt hiccup too badly with current trade rhetoric ? Or maybe, a Co. not mentioned, I know Teck is the largest-diversified, but maybe another has more torque to the upside of a particular metal, maybe gold/ lithium miner ? I'm seeking Cdn competitive advantage with U.S dollar revenues.

Q: I have been a holder of GIL for several years now and it has basically gone sideways. I hold about a 1/2 position. I am down about $200 and am thinking it’s about time to move on. Any suggestions of what would be a good replacement?
Thanks for much appreciated advice.

Q: Hello Peter et al.

With all of the latest rhetoric about trade wars between the US and a lot of countries I have lightened my stock portfolio from about 97% to about 75% with the remainder in cash. I have in the last few years worked hard to get the increase in my RRSPs value. I am looking to put the cash into something that provides the following:
1. Quick access if necessary to re-invest again when I feel the time is right.
2. No loss of the capital with what the cash is put into.
3. Maximum rate of return for the above two criteria being met. I know it will not be high.

Is there a Money Market ETF or something similar that meets my three criteria. Because the cash is in my RRSP accounts I can’t take it out without paying tax on it which I do not want to do.


Thanks,

Brendan

Q: With trade tariffs and uncertainty in the markets what Is the wise move with russel metals, hold or sell? I have a large position so would not be interested in buying more. I hold it in my RRSP for the yield. If you suggest a sell what could replace it considering I also hold BCE, BMO, HR.UN, NVU.UN as well as 4 small caps for growth but no dividends.
