Investment Q&A

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

Q: As a bit of a follow-up to Theresa's question regarding where to find information on earnings beats and misses, I would point out that the quarterly earnings history (consensus vs actual) for many companies is available online for free at marketbeat.com.

Q: This question has to do with tax loss selling on Enbridge. Currently I have a loss of 7 per cent or three thousand dollars. I am considering selling Enbridge to recuperate this loss and buy an equivalent. I was thinking,though, that Enbridge is so beaten up that no equivalent would rise as much as it if and when the tide turns. So, the question is whether it is worth it to make the switch? And if yes, what would be a good alternative?
thanks once again for great service

Q: Hi,
I have a large amount of cash to park for 6 weeks. Do you have any exchange traded products for this time frame with decent yield? I am an RBC client and their savings offerings are obviously not great.

Thanks

Q: I realize you do not cover US stocks but to the best of your knowledge, how similar would you consider Unilselect to be to Genuine Parts? I'd prefer to buy Canadian in this case.

I think Amazon could be a bit of a threat to these companies, but I would also think there would be enough loyalty from auto service shops (mainly because of immediate parts delivery) to maintain most of their ground. Would you agree?

Thanks .

Q: How is Loblaws performing compared to its peers? And what percentage of Loblaws sales/profits come from the Shoppers division? I have held Loblaws for a few years and while not happy with its performance, at least as it pertains to its share price, I hang on for portfolio reasons. However, I would have thought that Shoppers would enable Loblaws to outperform its sector, especially given the most recent results where Shoppers same-store sales were up over 3%.

Appreciate your insight.
