Investment Q&A

Q: Would you consider now to be a good time to do some buys in the consumer staples sector? If so, why? I'm looking to close this gap in my investment portfolio and would appreciate your recommendations on some companies -- ideally growth oriented that also pays a (growing) that I can buy an hold for 5+ years. I'm not too fussed on the specific industry. What are guys liking these days? Thanks for all the great advice and insight. You guys rock.

Q: I am at loss with PIF. Thinking selling it and buying either ENB, FTS or HPS.A to add to my existing positions. Do you think it is a right move as PIF share price is not moving? a Which one of the above names has highest potential under current share price to buy as replacement of PIF.

Q: My TFSA is roughly equal parts EIF, LMN, and WELL. MY TFSA is roughly 5 % of total reg. and non registered accounts. I am retired and have used my TFSA for more growth orientated stocks; with limited success. I am looking to replace these stocks ( which I also hold in other accounts ) , with HTA. I hold HTA in other accounts as well. HTA gives me access to 20 of the largest tech stocks and an 8% return which I receive every month ( important to a retiree ). Am looking at doing this in stages with EIF first and then the other two depending on fundamentals, relative value, etc.

Would you do this in stages or in one shot recognizing that I own these in other accounts ?
Your thoughts of HTA as a single holding in a TFSA to be representing 8 % of total portfolios ?

Thanks. Derek

Q: For a conservative investor and a long-term hold in a TFSA:
a) which has more room to run from current valuations in your opinion, ATD or BEP.
b) If you didn’t need the cash dividends right now, would you invest in BN over BEP.UN to maximise return and mitigate downside risk?
Thanks kindly!

Q: some financial advisors worry about the yield curve predicting difficult economic times to come sometime in the next year or two. Does this play a factor in your market models? Does it suggest caution? I would assume actual company results, earnings growth etc remain primary, but how does one incorporate this type of info without drowning in endless market noise?

Q: Still holding MG as it approaches the Covid lows.


My question has to do with the financial health of the company, and is its dividend supported if we finally enter the long awaited slow down/recession. I've scanned past questions and would like to know if your 2025/2026 views of this company have changed. It would also be great to reflect its current valuation over past cyclical downturns.

Thx.
