Investment Q&A

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

Q: I understand that many former technology companies such as Google are being re-classified as Communications Sector. These companies are widely held in many ETF's and Index funds. This ultimately changes the ETF and Index components and may generate unplanned capital gains or losses.
Is this correct and in your opinion does it happen often?
thanks

Q: Mr. Hodson, at the time of your last report on GUD, on March 31, 2017, GUD was at $10.39, and at A-. How long before it gets over its last price of $10.39 ? I appreciate GUD may go up and down in the next while, but when do you think it will start its ascension for good and become a real champion stock ? Might its ascension then become even more impressive than that of CSU ?

Q: My IT stocks have grown to 24% and I want to scale back to 20%. Currently SHOP 7%; ZQQ 7%; KXS 4%; OTEX 4%; PHO 2%. I am thinking of reducing SHOP to 5%; selling ZQQ and OTEX and buying AMZN 4.5% and SQ 4.5%. Your comments greatly appreciated. I know the valuation of OTEX is much lower than either AMZN or SQ but the growth in these two stocks are much higher.

Q: HI Peter, Would you recommend adding to RHS as its price is lower now. Or you would prefer 4-5 companies solid blue chip dividend paying companies to buy and hold ( avoid MER and capture more dividend). In that case also, can you please rank them in order of your preference. UL, PEP, HRL, K, or any other of your favorites.
Much Thanks.

Q: I have a 3/4 position in AD...surely this market reaction today (-6%) on top of yesterdays -5% is overdone. Even if it does take 1-2 quarters to prove themselves to investors, the dividend looks safe, with a 90% payout ratio. Why not just keep collecting the now 9+% dividend while we wait!!! Awfully tempting to top up to full position in the next few days. Make sense?

Thanks...Steve
