Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi, ENB and BIP make up up 16% of my equity portfolio (8% each), plus I own BAM at 4%. I've been considering a trim but they've been the stalwarts of my portfolio and I've been skeptical of a big inflation/interest rate increase. Now, with talk of Trump's inflationary fiscal policy, do you think it's time to reduce these stocks? or do you feel the benefit of infrastructure spending will offset the negative effects of rate increases on these stocks?
Thanks.

Q: Hi there

I was thinking of investing about 2.5% of a diversified portfolio in Fairfax Financial as a bit of a hedge on the maket not really going the way it is going now - up. But I see today Fairfax is removing many of it hedging positions betting the market would decline. Two questions:

1) Will this cost them much to get out of these contracts and will this affect their next quarter results?

2) Given it has pulled way back from its highs do you see it as a buy here?

Much thanks

Stuart

Q: Hi Peter
Can you comment on Binary Options? My friend put $10,000 with Magnum Binary options two weeks ago and has been told that she is now at $10,750. They recommend that she increase her investment to $50,000 and they will manage it to make her some money. She is dealing with a fellow out of Bulgaria and it sounds a little scammish to me. Any thoughts?
