Investment Q&A

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

Q: I realize that the companies mentioned are not equal size but how would you rank them in terms of growth profile for the next 5 years from 1 to 10. 1 is lowest and 10 highest. Thanks

Q: I apologies; I mis-phrased my question. The DRIP investments would be in addition to the TFSA and RSP investments (in different securities). As I understand things, a DRIP with a company sponsored plan such as TRP thru Computershare cannot be held inside a registered account. Is this correct? If so the $5k position in the non-registered (DRIP) account would not amount to a $25k per stock concentration and I believe the dividend tax credit would be useful since the account is non-registered. Thank you for your suggestions and service. I like your suggestions but a little surprised that a utility such as FTS was not recommended. Is there a reason you would not suggest a utility DRIP for a long term hold? Jim.

Q: I have repatriated my holdings from a full service broker and now using a self directed account to manage the portfolio.
I wish to construct an Income Porfolio and a Balanced Portfolio look a like. To that end can you list the first five holdings from each portfolio that you would be first to acquire in, order of preference if possible?
Thanks

Q: Hello team,
Can you suggest 3 or 4 Canadian REITS that pay a dividend over 6% that you would be happy with for an income investor? And can you rank them? Thank you for all that you do!

Q: Hi there, not really a stock specific question but more a psychological/behavioural question. Based on your experience, how often should one look at their portfolio? I, probably like many others, look at my portfolio far too frequently. I suspect this can be stress inducing and can lead to more possible losses than gain? How often do you recommend one to look at their portfolios? Thanks!

Q: Hi, I took a position in Open Text @$45 after release of recent quarterly results. The stock has been weak since and down 15% now. It has also not followed the general strength in the Technology sector and traded lower even when its peers KXS, CSU, DSG etc have gained in value. Analysts seem to be of view that stock is undervalued and market is not recognizing its strong recurring revenue base and expected growth from recent acquisitions.

Can you help me understand, why stock has been so weak and if a recovery is expected in next 6-12 months? I also own KXS, CSU,CGI and SYZ in Tech sector in fairly large quantities. For me it's a a question of capital allocation and find better opportunities. Thanks for your insight.
