Investment Q&A

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

Q: your thought on DR:
- is it worth buying at $13.00
- is the divined reasonable covered
- are there major problems in the company and/or business to explain the steep share price drop
- should I sell the small position and move on even if I would stay for the divined and hope for better days

as usual many thanks to all the 5I people

Q: I hold G at a loss at $24/share. Do I average down with G at $16, or just ride it out? I believe gold will do well in the next few months.

Q: Hello, I have just read "Why It’s Almost Impossible to be a Passive Investor in Canada" by Ryan, very informative article. I realize that my portfolio is underweight in the industrials sector. Could you suggest 3 or 4 names in Canada and in the US respectively? I am looking for good mid or big cap companies with growing dividend if possible. This is for long term investment. Regards, Gervais

Q: Hello Peter, Given the good growth data for Canada recently, it appears interest rates may increase more than originally anticipated. Would this have a positive or negative impact on GSY? With increased growth in Canada, people are more likely to have more money to spend because of jobs etc., but increased rates would make borrowing more expensive. What are your thoughts? Thank you for your great advice always.

Q: Greetings Peter and team,

Your answers to members' questions are impressively lucid and objective. So, here is another one for you.

Jack Bogle, the father of the hugely successful concept of passive, US index fund investing does not recommend rebalancing in an individually selected asset allocation strategy. "If you want to do it, once a year is probably enough," he has stated.

Taxes and transaction costs diminish the benefits of rebalancing but Canadians have a lot of tax-deferred and tax-free room in their registered portfolios. Further, transaction costs keep coming down so that with trades above $10,000, investors can (almost) ignore them. With a million dollar trade they can do so, absolutely.

So why not rebalance every time that a given imbalance, say 10% develops?

Q: Team:
Aftermarket automotive parts companies (autozone, genuine, o'reilly) have experienced bad performance over the past year.
Should uni select be grouped with these other companies?
Gas cars will be around for years and these stocks have been good performers. Would Uni Select would a good selection?

Thanks
