Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi guys,
I am maintaining both rrsp and resp portfolios for my family with time horizons of about 20 years and 10 years, respectively.
The investment strategies have been the same thus far, and I have followed a balanced approach of identifying growth, blue chip and a nominal 15% fixed income in each. I have a combination of ETFs and stocks from your model portfolios.
With the objectives and time horizons in mind, would you deploy the same investment strategies across accounts at this point? Thoughts on what investments you would recommend?

I am also aware of the tax ramifications of the accounts, and am more interested in thoughts on risk and time horizons.

Thanks

Q: This stock is setting all-time records and Matt McCall (stock advisor) claims that he advised people to buy this when it was basically a penny stock back in the spring. I know and trust you people. What is your opinion. Would it not be a bit late to get in now? Is it like Vector Vest when they boast about winning stocks saying they advised people to buy ages before they became winners? May I please have your opinion on Prosy which was also mentioned. One gold stock you like is Walbridge. It seems to have over the last month or so not been keeping up with the majority of the gold stocks. I know what you say will be correct. Thanks again for your trustful service. Dennis

Q: What would be the reason why there are not more mergers and acquisitions in this environment? I would think with interest rates virtually nil that businesses would want to buy something in the same space in order to grow. Cheap to borrow right now.

Q: I would be very interested in your opinion of companies engaging in the provision of consumer debt. Given the employment, market, and general economic situation would a well-financed company in this space do well? Any thoughts on the relative merits of OMF:US and GSY:CA? Do you have any favourites in this space?
Thanks, in advance, for your invariably thought-provoking reply...

Q: Good morning and Happy Canada Day!
Thoughts on Evertz quarter and what your expectation of where the dividend goes from here. Would you expect them to return to .18 per quarter in short order or will we see a further cut ? Do you consider the dividend cut prudent or is it possible they are trying to chase away public shareholders and take the company private in the near term?
Thanks Rob
