Investment Q&A

Q: I have been ignoring my RSP for years now , and I will have to do the Riff conversion in 2 years. I have a collection of failed stocks and $200,000 in cash sitting in 1 1/2% interest cash in my RSP .Yesterday I committed to buying the NPI offering , but my broker says I can change that to my margin acct or TFSA if I do it right away . If I clean it up , what equity names might you suggest for my RSP and where should the NPI go ? With 5% yield , is it an income stock ?

Thankyou ...

Q: What is your opinion of the above two companies?

Q: Please explain negative interest rates. Why would a bank or country pay someone to hold their money? How does this relate to countries purchasing their own debt? If the economy/markets are in good shape why would negative rates exist and why are they needed?

Q: I believe in the common thinking that there are many reasons why insiders might sell a stock, but only one reason that they might buy; nevertheless I find the virtually relentless selling by insiders of this stock over the past year to be quite breathtaking. Can you please give your assessment?

Q: We’ve owned six rate-reset preferreds for close to 10 years. What an experience! One (RBC) was just recalled. Here’s our present status:
Book Market
BNS..PR.Z $238k $228k $10k
BMO.PR.Q $123k $114k $ 9k
TA.PR.J $125k $91k $34k
BAM.PR.R $121k $76k $45k
ENB.PF.E $112k $75k $37k
I worry less now about our preferreds as our IA predicts most of ours will get recalled. Your thoughts please? I 'think' there's a place in our portfolio for some blue-chip preferreds even if not recalled. Having said that, I still don’t grasp preferreds nearly as much as I should, eg what the principal amounts will be if not recalled. Your thoughts please? The huge gap for three of our five also causes me to worry a bit about what’s happening to retail holders like us. Thanks.

Q: Hi
Please help me with a 100,000 foot scan of the telco space. The hypothesis is the Cdn. Telcos are extremely vulnerable to the combined threat of cord cutting and streaming. Customers cancel cable, stream their entertainment with unlimited choice via ROKU. Telcos suffer. Our nice dividend growers fade.
Is it too soon to sell? Appreciate your take.
Thanks Frank

Q: Does the can - us dollar have an impact on Canadian bank prices? Say the Can$ loses 10% would that have a significant effect on the stock price?

Q: Hello,

Lyft and Uber will be going public soon, would you recommend purchasing shares after the IPO? Growth has been great for both companies but obviously they are losing a lot of money as they grow.

What is the general strategy for IPOs ie. Lightspeed POS? Should you typically wait for first qtr results before you buy? I considered stocks like FB, MongoDB and could have done quite well. Also I believe that employees have to hold shares for at least 6 mths (not sure of exact timeframe) before they sell so wondering if that would have an impact when insiders with a considerable number of shares are allowed to sell.

Thanks,
Neeraj

Own SU you describe as a TOTAL Energy investment.
Should I sell my VET at 35% loss and buy SU or add new money to VET and earn 8.15% on it, Raymond James forecast VET 12 month target at 41.00 ???

Q: NPI ended the day on Mar. 19: Last: $23.36 C, Change: -2.38 -9.25 %.
First, can you explain this price decline? Second, would you say this stock is a screaming BUY at this price?

Q: Peter, I have held Kew for a period of six weeks or so and have seen the stock climb by 25% or so in that time. TD Bank has an action list buy on the stock and a very high one year price target. Is this one of those winners that you would hold on to?
