Investment Q&A

Q: I am wanting to increase my exposure to US Financials and I am thinking of adding a US investment services company. May I have your assessment of AMTD, ETFC, RJF, and SCHW? Do you have other suggestions in this area? I already hold KRE and KBE.

Q: i have full positions in both these companies and would like your analysis in regards to safety of dividend and earning estimates for corus upcoming earning reports. Will NIF survive?

Q: MON came with earnings surprise. It is also an acquisition target. Is MON still a Buy?

Q: The above lists my oil and gas investments. In addition I have drilling, service companies, and pipelines also associated with oil and gas. I feel that I have too many companies to easily follow and would like some recommendations. Based on your current thoughts can you recommend which I should sell and which I should buy more of and why. Also if there is company that I have not listed which you think is a better fit please consider including that in your recommendations. Based on my history, I usually keep an investment for a minimum of 5 years and some of the above I have had for at least 15 years. Also, if you believe that later in the year may be a better time to consider the trades I am contemplating will you please mention that as well. Thank you very much. I highly value your opinion.

Q: I need help with my TFSA. I should be at $51,000 as I added this year's amount. I am sitting at $39,500 with the following stocks - FCF, HCG, NA and STB. Could you make any recommendations to help this account get back on it's feet? To other investors, my biggest loss was from ABX, where I lost $8000. Be careful with Gold products.

Q: Good Afternoon 5i

Price action definitely heading back up in last few trading days. Momentum/Volume sharply again today. New feasibility study expected in January with increased resource base considered. Any comments on increased SP and Volume? 2017 looks like a year of strong possibilities. What should I look for in assessing NR feasibility study when it is releasing.

Thanks as always for your valued comments.

Q: Hi Peter

Iam in a situation that i have about 300k divided amonst 2 tfsa and 2 rrsp account. I would like to invest these funds for income and safety. I also have about another 200k in these accounts divided between pwf bns and gwo. Could you recommend maybe 3 to 5 stocks to achieve my goals.

Q: With respect to investing in big banks like BNS, what is the risk of future scandals? (There seems to be one in the news every week.) Is there a point at which investors will stop being so forgiving? If one wanted to still invest in financials, but was uncomfortable in the actions of the big banks, are there any options to invest in smaller, community-oriented banks or credit unions? Thanks in advance.

Q: Could you comment on today's article in the Globe and Mail about csu long term prospects?

Thank you

Q: The core business is not doing all that well but the student housing portion is quite interesting. This was the same reason i had previously invested in Loyalist Group but that turned into a disaster. I am curious what you think of the company and if you feel it could be added to a TFSA for an aggressive investor.

Q: Could you please have a look at this company and give your thoughts on how this company products fit into the future of the driving industry and toll roads. Very small company, but who is the biggy in this industry? Is it a buy now for what the future holds?
Many Thanks
