Investment Q&A

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

Q: As we move into the tax loss selling period, is it not possible (probable?) that DH Corp could take another big hit before year's end? After holding for several years with good initial gains I'm now in the red. Wondering about selling & possibly buying back in January if price action improves... your thoughts? Also not sure what you meant by still an "official" hold for now... sounds like a thinly veiled 'sell'. Many thx for your insights.

Q: What do you think about proposed merger of GE & BHI oil services assets to form a separate company and the $17.50 per share dividend GE will pay BHI shareholders? Any idea on timeline and whether this proposed deal will have any regulatory issues? I can't see any regulatory issues - but, who knows. I was thinking of buying this one as I currently do not own any gas or oil producers - so, surrogate for them.

Q: I know you have high regard for MDA but had frustration with it's performance. Today the market is reacting badly to recent news. Do you think reaction is overdone or does this reaffirm your decision to drop it from your portfolio. I own 200 MDA right now and am wondering if this is an opportunity to "average down" my cost, or just throwing good money after bad. Your thoughts please...

Q: A recent Globe & Mail article recommends investing in certain American defence companies, based on the assumption that military spending will increase regardless of who is elected. They cite the high growth areas of “aircraft, shipbuilding, missile defence and precision munitions”. Their recommendations include RTN, GD, LLL, and HRS. They also mention BA, UTX and LMT but don’t rank them quite as highly. I realize you follow Canadian stocks more closely, but I was wondering if you had any preferences among these names, or if an ETF like ITA or PPA would be preferable for diversification and safety. Thanks very much again for your expertise.

Q: Hello 5i team,
I would like to purchase a few REITS through my RRSP account since I currently have non. I was thinking of purchasing one of the listed REITs that you suggested in a previous question and maybe an ETF (if they exist).

Of the REITs (CSH, HR, CAR) which one has the best dividend/growth? I figured a REIT that goes across the country would be the best.

Also do REIT ETFs exist? If so are there some that possible cover commercial properties only?

Thank you,
Andrew
