Investment Q&A

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

Q: Currently in the ETF Model Portfolio (Money Saver) you have the following US ETF's" XLY VGT IWO VIG SPY. Can you give me a Hedged substitute that I can buy on the TSX. As an example I would use XSP for SPY. XSU for IWO. Make sense? If this is OK in your opinion what would I do with XLY VGT VIG.

Thanks for the discount on the Monthly Fund and ETF report. I spent Canada Day reading it and found it very information. I know you are thinking I must have a very boring life!!!

Regards

Q: Hi - With the recent pullback in many stocks, have any of your favourites dipped in price enough that you would be advising clients to hop on board. Totally understand that this is just guessing but hoping that a few jump out at you. No need to consider KYC factors in your response. Many thanks!

Q: Stocks in your model portfolios. TNC - when is this takeover going to be completed? It seems like it is taking a long time.
ITC - this stock is the majority of the time under $2.00 and for the short period of time that it goes above $2.00, everyone hits the sell button and it goes back below $2.00. Should I be hitting the sell button the next time it gets over $2.00 because it is the worst performing stock in my portfolio. PEO - also has over the last two months been another under-performer and so should I get out of it? Thank you for your good service Dennis.

Q: please let me know your opinion on CPG. I have a small position, down 30%. It's worth keeping or look for something else? What do you think about HWO?
Thank you

Q: My RRSP portfolio is comprised mostly of individual stocks and I am considering moving to an ETF portfolio. I would like some US exposure and I am looking at the BMO suite of ETF options for this. Are there selections that should be avoided for withholding tax reasons? I understand that a withholding tax may apply even inside an RRSP for US holdings that pay dividends.

Q: Hi, I am thinking about taking some profits from PKI and adding to my position in AD. This will lower my average cost,and increase the dividend I receive, but mainly I would hope to catch some of the upside momentum the stock has shown lately.
So really the question is, do you see the positive upside movement to continue. Many thanks
