Investment Q&A

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

Q: My "advisor" is encouraging me to switch out of Telus and buy Royal Bank instead. Rationale: Telus "is a defensive stock and will not do well in a rising interest environment".

Telus is my only communications holding, and I already own National Bank in the financial sector, in a portfolio weighted to as-secure-as-possible dividend income stream with DRIP wherever possible.

Your thoughts on this switch? I'm reluctant.

Q: What do you make of the latest development re: PLI with the CEO having to issue a press release denying false rumors about his selling of shares. The short sellers seem to really have it in for this company! What would the reasons be for this?

Are we going to be seeing more of this kind of thing in line with the increase in 'false news', particularly in the recent US election?

Would appreciate your comments.
