Investment Q&A

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

Q: I bought both of the Canadian Rails in a TFSA 1 1/2-2 years back and they haven't done much. I assume much of the underperformance is related to the tariff issue, but historically if i'm correct, have been very good investments over multi year periods.

With the increase in diesel prices do the rails stand to gain traction brought about by cargo being pushed from truck to rail and how do you perceive the relevant cost efficiencies of rail vs truck assuming both are likely powered by diesel?

Do you see any reason for a breakout of these stocks that have traded in a range for some time?

Q: Spring Greetings,

1) Whilst all seem relatively safe, I am wondering if I should take profits and rotate into something else with higher dividends and more chances of growth? Surely these cannot keep on going up?

2) Do any other names immediately spring to mind that have higher yields which are also relatively safe?

Many Thanks

Q: I bought ATRL late last year. For a while it was gaining bit by bit. Now it is losing steam. It looks as if it should be a good buy. What do you think?

Q: I am considering selling some BAM to realize a loss and adding it to BN. Any info about CRA not accepting the loss due to the relationship between the 2? Also, any thought on which has the better prospects for total return in the next 2 -3 years; dividends are not important, just total return. Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: I remain with a small position in OBDC. Even though it is down a fair bit and has been for quite some time, There has been many comments about OWL but not OBDC. I bought it for the dividend and will be happy enough as long as it continues. Do you see the OBDC dividend as secure? Do you see any prospect that the whole enterprise might collapse? Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: This stock has seen a consistent decrease over the past while in an environment where energy / utilities have rallied and when HALO stocks have gained traction.

Is there something missing as it seems TA has solid growth for a utility and is based in a province where energy abundance + population growth + favorable government + data center opportunities + Brookfield ownership / partnership all seem to be favorable tailwinds.

Am I missing something as this seems to be a good idea for growth and was recently on the Best Stock Idea list.

Q: Not too long ago I asked the question below. Given recent turmoil affecting the markets I’d like to ask it again, however would like you to consider current global risk in your response. Thank you.


Q: I would like your top 3 selections to invest in (and why) under the following scenario.

In your view moderate risk Canadian stocks, with a clear pathway (sjt externalities) to forecast stock price gains of >15% annually, yet having an annual dividend of 3% or greater. Exclude Oil stocks and major Bank stocks.

I know...it is asking a lot and if we could do this reliably we'd already be retired and on a beach somewhere! Thanks for all you do...

Dave
