Investment Q&A

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

Q: Having built a cash position I am now looking at re-deploying into the market. S&P500 looks like a technical top but maybe on a long-term perspective it is ok. I own many of your names and would favour just increasing those positions as it would not result in over concentration on a name basis or a sector basis. No Oil & Gas due to long-term structural changes or mining due to too many operational and geopolitical challenges. So with this in mind, your top ten or so picks for long-term growth/income.

Q: Please give opinion on financial and momentuum strength of West Jet and future outlook, or any intrinsic or extrinsic to Canadian airline stocks

Please compare WestJet to the other airline in Canada as well

I have purchased at the bottom (@ about 15.50) and am concerned profit taking may cause a Drop ... noting last 2 days pullbacks

is there any typical seasonality to Canadian airlines?

Thankyou

Q: I have managed my own registered portfolio for the past few years(with valuable input from 5i). I have sold my GTA house and will have this house money during a 2 year relocation period and then will likely be buying real estate again. Any advice for managing registered vs. non-registered investments during that time. Also, any allocation ideas related to type of stocks, fixed income or other investments keeping in mind the two-three year time frame with the new money. I currently have a registered portfolio with a number of dividend payers. Am i better to switch the registered funds too a more growth oriented approach and buy some utilities/banks/telcos in the non-registered.
Also, are Canadian based ETF's that hold non-Canadian stocks eligible for the dividend tax credit?
Thanks team

Q: Just a follow-up to my previous question: Yes, I understand I have to click "daily" or "weekly", whatever my preferred option is. However, the question remains: are these questions actually sent to our inboxes, via email, or are they simply filtered into the "My Watchlist" section? If they are meant to be sent to us directly, I am not receiving them. Thanks.

Q: Hi, thanks very much for the 17% gain in just 7 weeks with CUS!! I have this in my TFSA and am now considering selling and replacing it with either RRX, HCG, KXS or DBO. Assuming diversification is not an issue, which do you see as the best upside potential? Or is it better to hold CUS for a little longer?
Thanks again! Ian

Q: In an transaction to-day DH was sold inadvertently instead of DSG. Since something had to be sold, would you think it is preferable to hold the DSG and let the DH be gone or sell the DSG and repurchase the DH. Commissions are negligible and there is no capital loss involved and an accompanying sale (capital loss) covers any capital gains.
