Investment Q&A

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

Q: Jim Cramer added Tyson to his trust portfolio around $90USD arguing that the pork market in China was going to be undersupplied due to swine virus' etc. It has now pulled back to $84-85 and I am wondering what your take on it would be as a low volatility option with upside?

Perhaps compare and contrast with MFI in Canada and indicate a preference if buying only 1 and your reasons why?

Thanks!

Q: Evertz is approaching its long-term lower trend line, is now a good time to start a position or, in consideration of global growth worries, is waiting the best course? Does its line of business and North American focus make it to any degree recession-resistant, or is the world's move away from the traditional television paradigm (studios, synchonized feeds, etc.) going to put a cap on growth?

Q: My wife has this mutual fund with a 2% MER, very little growth and a small dividend. Would you kindly suggest a couple of replacements (ETF or Index fund or Mutual fund) with a similar risk level and sector coverage but without the high MER.
Many thanks

Q: With gains over the past year, I'm overweight in these holdings - BAM 7%, BEP 12%, BIP 8%. I'm not uncomfortable with BAM and BIP but BEP is high.
Do you think there is more short-term upside in either BEP or BIP due to the addition of corporate structures?
What overall weighting would you recommend for these 3 companies and do you have a preference for any - these would be long-term holdings (8-10 years) in an income focused portfolio?
If trimming is recommended, what are your top 3 recommendations for reliable and growing dividend paying stocks, sector not being an issue?
Thank you
Ian

Q: I've been holding this stock for 3 years. From March of 2017 the stock has appreciated by $1 from wence I bought it and yes I have been receiving a 5% dividend.

However during that time period I have owned BCE, FTS, BEP etc which have done markedly better on a total return basis.

My experience is this is a strict dividend play and I was wondering if I wanted a more growthy income play is there a few equities that you could say you like better than this one which offers a healthy dividend and perhaps some capital appreciation potential as well.

Please offer a few suggestions as I currently have a very extensive portfolio.

Thanks

Sheldon

Q: Please recommend a few stocks to deploy some cash. I am hesitant to buy into these strong markets (I'm cheap) but am getting impatient waiting for any kind of correction. Looking for reasonable safety, decent dividend and some growth, irrespective of sector.

Thanks as always
