Investment Q&A

Q: My grandson has just opened a RRSP account in which he is assembling a balanced portfolio of ETFs. He also holds a small position in GSY and would like to add one more stock. Would BAM.A be a good choice as an 'all weather" addition or is there a preferred alternative.

Q: Good Morning Peter & Team,

Financial Performance has been mentioned as strongly profitable with a net profit margin over 45%. Year-over-year Quarterly revenue grew by almost 60%. Everything looked great. I took on a position and am now down over 10%. I know you never comment about personal rules one of which for myself is if it drops 10% below MV sell because only the pigs get slaughtered on wall street.

You're advice regarding what I should do (buy/hold/sell), is there any explanation you can provide why there there was a precipitous drop today, and would you remain bullish on this name?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Hi,
I am wondering about whether or not replacing stocks sold for a tax loss strategy is prudent, or not. All of the above listed stocks are at a loss in a taxable account. I am looking to offset a large profit that occurred in July when a number of stops were hit. The loss on GSY and SBUX is not terribly large, and so if it is deemed these stand a good chance of rebounding in the early part of 2022, then I may decided to keep them. In selling any of the stocks listed, are their replacements I could purchase that would likely add some growth? The alternative being just wait out the 30 day period and repurchase the strongest of the list. Your thoughts and suggestions would be most appreciated! Thanks for all the great advice over the years! Dawn
