Investment Q&A

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

Q: There has been incredible volatility in the markets with indexes and stocks bouncing up and down for last 3 years making investing in stacks and bonds difficult. There has been no really true safe escape haven in equities or bonds apart of cash and money markets and recently Guaranteed income securities. Considering all these factors influencing the markets today would you venture your opinion when we could reach some market stability ?

Q: I sold a number of tech stocks for tax losses late last year. As tech is on the rise again I am tempted to buy them back even though I was probably overweight tech to begin with. This has me wondering what you think would be an appropriate sector allocation between tech, industrials, financials, etc. I would appreciate a generic allocation for an average investor irrespective of age or personal financial situation. Thanks.

Q: Hello,
Any idea why united health keeps going down even though the latest results were good? Do you think Shopify is getting head of itself as it keeps ticking higher.. Is this simply due to tech stocks doing well as a sector in the last month or so.. and what do you think of starting a position in GE Health? Much appreciated. .

Q: I hold a small position in NTR (74 shares). It is doing well for me (up $3,000). I would like to enter into a full postion but note that expected earnings will fall for 2023. Zim was doing well due to Covid shipping rates being raised, but soon fell way below the high leaving many with major losses. It may seem that NTR may follow a similar pattern having improved due to results during Covid. As Covid diminishes so will the stock earnings.
Question: Is NTR a buy to increase a position or a sell to scrape whatever earnings and to move on to something else? If moving on please suggest other dividend opportunities in Basic Materials. I am a 77 year old dividend value investor with some growth.

Q: In one of your answers you felt that Tech, Consumer Cyclicals and Real Estate are areas that have been beaten down and might be poised for recovery. Could you mention 3 stocks for each area listed on the TSX that you would recommend as having solid potential at this time. Thank you.

Q: Hi,

I have about 8% of my portfolio in WPM, LUN, DPM and FCX. Wondering if you think I should add 3% in steel?

If so, which US or CDN companies would you recommend? STDL seems to have the best long term returns but I've heard their earning are expected to go down next year?

Q: If you were to consider 5 sector ETFs based on current price and future prospects, what would they be?

Please recommend your favourite ETF for each on the TSX unless it's only available in USD.

Would the beaten down USA sector (eg. XUU) be part of your thinking?
