Investment Q&A

Q: Hello Team,

I currently do not have any pure dividend stocks and I'm looking at purchasing one to start. I did a bit of research and came up with the above list, are you able to rank them in order plus add your 2 favorites into the list (if they are not already included). Looking at a minimum of a 6% yield with the possibility of say a 30% return over the next 3-5 years. (setting my goals high). Thanks!

Q: Hi Team,
Out of HPS.A and VHI, which do you like better today? Looking for highest potential return over the next 10 years.

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Let us say we have 2 companies, one called "ABC" and one called "ABC Dividend" which pays 4% over the year. At the end of the year, the dividend one would be down because of the dividend it paid for the previous 12 month period but you would have the dividend money.

ABC at the end of the year would be higher because it did not drop because it did not pay a dividend.

To me, I see that a dividend really does not benefit you. Why do people want dividend stocks so much when the example I used shows there is no benefit? Thank you.

Q: Looking for growth in my TFSA….your thoughts pls…

Q: Would there be a good reason for the recent rise in share price for tvk ?

Q: Would NBIS be a stock that you would feel comfortable holding through a proper market downturn (ie, like 2022)? Or would you consider it to be too small / unproven at this time?

Thank you

Q: Hello 5i
ZDC had taken a hit recently due to, I assume, the new share offering at $3.35.
Based on your experience how long do stocks typically languish in this situation before resuming their upward trajectory?
Thank you
Dave

Q: Is TESLA Stll a buy?.

Q: Hi, could you please rate these companies for a riff account. My goal would be dividend, growth and stability in down market. I have money for one company. (Would buying U.S. be beneficial?)
Fell free to add your favourite stock for my goals.
Thanks

Q: Reviewing all your input on this stock, was wondering if you could share your take on the TD summary of analyst ratings (5) where three (3) are suggesting it is a "sell" while two (2) rank it as a "hold", average target price being $33.04 while today it is trading at $35.83!
Am I missing something here. Appreciate all you excellent support.
Ted.

Q: Hello
There seems to be interest in this ETF here and on BNN market call.

The price chart now being at pandemic low price catches my attention

I tried to access manager commentary but it was locked. Are you able to comment on what has driven such a poor price performance and whether the financial environment we are entering in the USA is favourable for this ETF?

We’d all like 9% yield but a waste of time if the price drops more.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
Dave

Q: I hold many of the mag 7 and a few other upcoming AI names in my TFSA and feel i am quite exposed in that area. What ETFs would you recommend for diversifying my portfolio to avoid doubling up? Thanks

Q: I SEE THE GATES FDN HAS BEEN BUYING THIS STOCK AND IT IS TRADING AT AROND 12X EARNINGS. DO YOU SEE THIS STOCK AS A GOOD LONG TERM BUYING OPPORTUNITY AND ALSO A COMMENT ON THEIR OUTLOOK FOR ECONOMIC ACTIVITY. ( THEY MANUFACTURE TRUCKS FOR COMMERCIAL USE I BELIEVE)

Q: I hold these ETF's in a RESP account and just wonder if all these ETF are different enough to own? Also would be be good to own XAW in the RESP account. Money is not needed for 10 years.

Thanks

Q: I see that Fidelity Global Innovators Fund (FINN) shows a very high return over the past year. Could you please provide some commentary/information on holdings, yield, how they have achieved such a annual high return, outlook, and what the risks are of owning this fund. Thank you.

Q: I am considering adding to cls and or goog . Which is the best for future appreciation would your position be to buy goog with the new Trump gov. And poss tariffs being a risk with cls ?
Doug

Q: For a RESP would you be comfortable with a 20% holding for both of these 2 ETF?

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter - I've gotten some more info re my question yesterday on the subject of the 'phantom distribution',

TDAM confirmed that the Notional distribution will increase the book value and that the distribution is a capital gain.

To me this means that I must dispose of all the shares in order to realize the capital loss and can only apply it to the 2025 tax year. Is this correct? And since only 50% of capital gains/losses are taxed, then for a USD 10,000 Notional distribution the benefit is really only USD 5,000 that can be applied as a capital loss. Is this correct? And if I was to claim a capital loss, I'd have to wait 30 days before I could repurchase TDB2915. Is this correct?

I should be grateful for the unexpected distribution, but overall it looks more like a 'poor man's' dividend to me.

Many thanks again for your much appreciated views.

Q: Hi again Peter
Re this money market fund, if i sell it all, can i purchase another one of a different series at the same institution before the 30 days are up? That is if i can find one without a trailing fee for a short ownership period.

Thank you again

Q: Looking at these long term compounders in various sectors. Based on current valuation and future growth, how would you rank these and which ones would you buy now or DCA into over time?

I'm already holding full positions in BKNG, BN, CSU, LMN, half positions in V,MA,WSP, and smaller position in TRI. I would either add to my smaller positions or add new positions in the others.

Are there any other 2-3 long term compounders that you would consider good buys currently?

Thank you!
