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 all,

Question regarding Russel Metals latest results, could you comment please? Also when I look at my sector allocation, it comes up as Basic Materials because of Steel...should I leave it there or move it elsewhere? Could it be more considered Industrial (even somewhat Energy given its customer base)? thoughts please & Thanks in advance!

Q: i currently only hold bns for financials. It has been very good over the last year. I'm thinking about adding slf (to hedge against potential interest rate hikes) and fsz for some extra upswing potential to balance against the security of bns. I'm 31 years old, they're all held in my tfsa, I'm thinking long term and am ok with risk. Do you have issues with either of these two? Is there others you'd prefer to accomplish what I'm looking for? Do you think rate increases will push bns down enough to make it cheaper to add to or is trying to get the timing right with that not worth waiting for?

Thanks!

Q: Boardwalk announced another lousy quarter! Generally, real estate markets move with a lag to the economy of about 6 to 9 months. Do you think Q4 could be a trough for Boardwalk? I am accumulating shares at this level. I think it is a good entry point for a long-term investor to add multi-family properties (defensive segment) as a good valuation. They are using this opportunity to acquire new builds and renovate their existing portfolio as well.

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Please give your assessment of there 4th Q.R. in relation to the future of this company. How serious do you rate this poor quarter? I know you have looked favourably on this company in the past...does this change your opinion...if so to what degree. Would you consider buying it after it dips...or do you think there are now better possibilities in the junior sector?

Q: RRSP question: Assume I am an Alberta resident with $0 income in 2017.

And, can I make this withdrawal now (Feb. 17) for 2017 or does the March 1st RRSP cutoff date apply for withdrawals as well? Thanks.

Last week it took a big hit on earnings even though I thought the earnings looked good.

Thanks
