Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Peter,

Where would you prioritize (weight too) these companies in terms of your portfolio holdings in the financial sector? Do the banks and Insurance companies provide better growth within the TFSA? Or for that matter, do they deserve to be in a TFSA portfolio?
If so, between the two which is the preferred one?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Hi,

Happy to hear your thoughts on SLF earnings miss. Also - any ideas why the US market is dropping so hard today? Is this just a matter of filling the recent run away gaps with profit taking, or something more worrisome and longer term?
Thanks!

Thank you!

Q: Hello 5i Guys

I'm looking for income (not worried about growth) and see MKP pays a nice dividend. Interest Rates are trending lower so maybe mortgage renewals won't be terrible.

What's your opinion of MKP for stability and (somewhat) consistency on the dividend for an income investor.

Thanks
Ken

Q: I am a bit confused with BMNR. I was under impression that this is a leveraged Etherium play, and expected the stock amplify the changes in Etherium price. However, when I look at the price changes for the past 2 months, as of today Nov 3, the ETHA is down 13% while BMNR is up 7% since September 1. Can you explain this anomaly please? Do I misunderstand the business model of BMNR?

Q: Conspiracy Theory???
For decades I have heard and read that JPM, as a bullion bank, has an enormous inventory of silver bullion actually owned by the firm. This is in addition to the bullion they store for other parties making a nice fee. Further, it is suggested that JPM backstops other institutions that may require an infusion of bullion to meet an emergent demand. ie. The London Metal Exchange. Fortunately, this rumour was what motivated me to choose JPM as my US bank stock a 2+ decades aqo.
I have searched JPM's 2004 Annual Report (330+ pages) in vain looking for some record of massive silver holding which would show up as a major asset on the Balace Sheet. As the price of silver has appreciated I would expect that this growing value would be reflected in the financial statements.
Can you explode the myth or confirm any of the above?
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: Hi, I’m considering adding these to my portfolio. What’s your opinion on them, how would you rate them, and what would be a good entry price?

Q: Peter; Dfy’s chart is the opposite of the markets chart. I know it reports Nov. 03 . What’s expected and can you comment on its steady decline - any insider sales? Thanks.

Q: I have held a large Position in BIP.UN in my RRSP for many years. The equity has done OK but in looking back wonder why my Financial Advisor didn't suggest i rotate this into BN or BAM to gain max returns.

I don't need the income and it seems alot of BIP.UN's return comes in the form of the dividend which is not treated favorably within a Registered Account so BIP.UN seems not best for RRSP.

How would you suggest i better allocate these funds within a Registered Account between Brookfield companies to gain max benefit and at what price(s) would you suggest the switch?

Just on a side note i previously also held BEP.UN and my advisor suggested it was rated a Sell by Veritas so i let him sell at a very inopportune moment ($33). He claimed Veritas had a Sell on all Brookfield companies. Is Veritas a reputable rating Agency because they seem to just dislike any and all Brookfield entities?
