Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good morning, could you please identify 8 "safer" companies you see at or close to the bottom of their trough at this time that have a dividend (% of dividend does not matter)? For example my guess would be CNR which was at $178 in March 2024 and now at $135 with a yield of 2.63% at this price.
Thx,
Kevin

Q: Hi !

I refer to your monthly section of "best stocks ideas"

What are we to read in your selections: best value presently, ? best long term value ? best buying opportunity now ? best undervalued stocks ? best growing potential short term ? best long term growth ? best total income ?

It would be most helpful to know exactly what you mean by your best stock ideas.

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

Q: I am about to clean up my registered accounts and am wondering if any of the following units which are all down at least 5% should be sold: BCE, AW, XPF, CPD, NWH.UN, DIR.UN and TXF? I have owned these stocks for some time for income but if you think their prospects are limited, I would be content to sell them and reinvest the money elsewhere.

Q: Hello 5i,

We are looking at our fixed income and dividend portion of our portfolio. Dividend stocks are 6% of our overall portfolio.

Bam 3.19%
AW 2.59%
BEPC 5.41%
DIR 6.69%
NTR 3.95%

We want to add another 2% to dividend stocks. Add equally to the above or, add ZEB or CDZ?

Thank you
D&J

Q: As recommended at the time, I just left my AW.ca stock when they did a corporate action. Now I am down significantly. Not sure if I should sell -I have some in a TFSA and some in a non-registered acct. Would it be wise to sell them both and then re-buy if market corrects or move on if it doesn't? I'm at more of a real loss in my TFSA, where it would seem now it doesn't need to be. I tend to just hold through volatility but would like to clean this up. Thanks.

Q: For some diversification along with some income I’m debating adding a bit more food service industry. I already own a half position of AW but would consider adding another half of same or go with a different half such as PZA, KEG.UN, BPF.UN, or SRV.UN. Thoughts

Q: With the pull-back, I want to take positions in the above at an appropriate weighting for a long term hold - the Canadian holdings and NVDA at full position, the others at 2-3%. Could you mark them at todays levels as buy, partial buy, watch or don't buy, and make any appropriate back-up comments. Thank-you!

Q: Hi,

After A&W’s recent conversion into a Corporation do you feel they could be a candidate for a takeover? Is it possible that this conversion to a corporation, which would simplify the structure, was done make them more desirable to an acquiring company? Two obvious Canadian suitors may be QSR and Fairfax which owns many casual dining restaurants under its Recipe Unlimited division. Looking forward to your comments. Thanks.
