Investment Q&A

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

Q: My shares of Brick Brewing have shown good gains since I bought them about half a year ago. Am just wondering what your latest thoughts are on this company: revenue, earnings, cash flow, debt, momentum, potential upside and downside. Since we are moving away from the summer season into the winter season do you feel that sales will drop enough to put downward pressure on the stock. Thanks.

Q: Hi guys,

My portfolio is $500,000 with $450,000 in equities and $50,000 in fixed income. I just changed my asset allocation from 100% equities to 90% equities and 10% fixed income. I have $50,000 cash to invest in fixed income and I put my first tranche of $10,000 in CPD for the yield and to gain from rising rates if and when they occur. I was reading some previous questions and you talked about having ETFs as a minimum 5% weighting because of the number of securities they hold. In this case with CPD, it is currently 2% and I will add to it as opportunities arise. I debated splitting the 5% between CPD (3%) and HPR (2%), which is an active traded preferred share fund. Is this recommended for a total weighting of 5% in preferred shares or should I just stick to CPD. My other 5% weighting will be in a laddered corporate bond ETF since I think it provides better protection against rising rates that a government bond ETF and also has a better yield. Agree?

Thanks for your help,
Jason

Q: Peter & Team, I picked up from your Q&A SHOP and ENGH have new tickers and so does CIGI. There seem to be a few of them changing today (I hold CIG and ESL). So why the change? Nothing in the ENGH web site and CIGI simply state change follows US ticker. Are these securities still as liquid and is the change at TSX request or company request? There is no grey market or junior listing on the TSX is there? Appreciate reply. Thank you.

Q: Hey folks
With it looking more possible that a Trump win is in the future, and the predictions of how the markets are going to fall ( which we may have seen the start of today), would it be prudent to take some gains off the table now and reinvest when/if the markets drop, knowing fully that they will recover in a short time, or should a person stand pat and ride it out? I am thinking there may be some gains to be realized by playing the over reaction that is sure to come if Mr. Trump wins.

Q: My 6 year old's RESP CSU shares are comfortably 4 baggers. I remember being so nervous buying as chart was a straight run of succes and had recently doubled from when first started watching CSU. Thank you for the CSU research and suggestion to not be afraid to buy a stock that has gone up in price. Also, I am assume some members purchased and still hold from your first recommendation are close to or in 10 bagger territory so congrats to them.
