Investment Q&A

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

Q: I would like some recommendations on some companies or ETF's that you like now and going forward. I'm looking for growth as I have a 20year+ time frame and low aversion to risk. I currently hold in my TFSA: CJR.B (down about 5%, should I hold or sell some/all off? -heaviest weighting of portfolio currently), GS, BNS, CPH, CR, KXS, NIF, SIS. Would like to add more companies to TFSA for some more sector diversification and can add to RRSP as well - possibly a growth ETF with US/International exposure? Would appreciate your input, thanks very much.

Q: Hello,
Raymond James analyst downgraded SQ to underperform. "In short, we believe organic growth peaked in 3Q18 and growth on the all-important [subscription] and services line will likely materially decelerate in 2Q19. What do you think about this opinion? Do you still think its a buy?
Thanks
Victor

Q: I have a question about a Canadian Heat map for stocks like the excellent Finviz.com
The two that I've found ...
http://www.watchstockprices.com/tsx/
http://www.digitallook.com/dlmedia/investing/visual_tools/heat_maps?&username=&ac=&country_id=25
... are not visual or user friendly like Finviz.com. Can you recommend one?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and team,

In a recent post in Stock Chase, Barry Schwartz was commenting on MFC and gave it a "Don't Buy" rating, for reasons similar to 5i's. He then goes on to say that "he avoids this sector".

Is there a compelling reason to own SLF (or any other insurer) in the Financial Sector?

Our sector holdings across all accounts are BNS at 2%, GSY at 3.8%, SLF at 2%, TD at 6%, and TRI at 0.9%.

Should we 'stay the course' and keep things as they are, or should changes be made?

As always, I really value your advice.

Q: I learned from TD Waterhouse that Enghouse did a 2 for 1 stock split in December. I discovered it when I saw, what I thought, was a drastic fall in the share value to $37. My question is: should I not have received some sort of advise about the stock split from the Company?? To my knowledge I did no receive any such advice. And, also can you give me some background about the split?? Thanks
