Investment Q&A

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

Q: As a retired senior, would CPF.UN (Can 50 Preferred), or would CPD be better for part of the income percentage of my portfolio? I noticed on occasion you have mentioned individual preferred shares. Do you prefer individual preferred or a basket since they are difficult for the retail investor to understand them. I will look forward to your income portfolio.
Thank you. Shirley

Q: Hi,
I bought a couple of stocks (BB and MU)a few days ago that were highly recommended on Seeking Alpha. They do not seem to be doing too much. What is your opinion?
Momentum Stocks like TKM, HYG and ARWR-US just keep going up forever. Would this be a better way to invest?
Watching the financial news which I do regularly due to the fact I am retired, everyone is talking (waiting) for a 5% pull back - it has been a long wait - will it be coming by July, 2014?

Q: What do you think of Amaya's strategy in selling off its WagerLogic subsidiary in order to re-position to focus strictly on B2B?

Also, what do you think of Intertain (T.IT), Amaya's former WagerLogic which has recently started trading on the TSX? If one liked the complete Amaya previously, should one also lean towards picking up some IT?

Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter & Team,

Can you give an update on your thoughts on East West Petroleum, (EW.V) with regards to its news release today stating that they have gotten back their initial investment in the well and the fact that the cash flow from the well will cover expenses for the remainder of the year. In addition, they have a Normal course issuer bid in place. I would look at these two events as quite positive long term.

Q: Got to say, Peter, since "listing" for 5iResearch, I'm investing in medium and small cap stocks on the TSX, much more so that in the past. Also it's like I'm more aware of stocks other than energy and big financial entities that get continuous media attention. This adds up to better diversification for a retail investor like me, including for both non-register and registered accounts. On the emotional, un-technical side of things, I'm more comfortable with what I'm doing, and holding too...plus learning what to focus on in doing my own background analysis...Again, thanks...Tom M

Q: Hi,

I am not sure if you got my question on NDN on Friday. If you did please ignore this. My question is about their recent earnings and what do you think is the possible outcome of their strategic review. Why is the stock under pressure?

Q: My husband and I have self directed RRSP's with 10 years to go until the RRSP's become self directed RRIF's. The annual minimum RRIF withdrawal starts at 5% at age 70, and increases each year. At age 85 the withdrawal rate is 10.33%. My question is - would the investments in the RRSP's be best as an income portfolio to preserve capital but also allow for the required cash withdrawals? Or do you think a portfolio combination of growth and income is more advantageous given the 10 year time frame? Thanks!

Q: Hi - my university attending son has been telling me about the legalization of marijuana, particularly in the US, and asks me how to invest in it. I read in the G&M today that even the Tories are softening on the issue. Any thoughts on how to invest in this sector?
