Q: In my TFSA I have held WELL for 4 years and now considering selling along with DRX. Would selling these 2 and replacing with ISRG make sense for better growth.
Q: Thinking of switching from TD to RY since RY has dropped recently. The EPS and PE looks much better. The dividend pays out on April 24. When would I have to buy the stock to get the dividend. Cheers Steve
Q: SHOP has received some so-so analyst ratings recently. Some are buys and some are hold and sell. I know 5i likes SHOP. But if you had to put a bad report together on SHOP, what would be the negatives that would result in a poor rating. I guess I'm asking what does one have to worry about specifically with SHOP?
With the tariff situation and the often-contradictory comments issued by Trump and some of his advisors leading to some markets sectors tumbling or, occasionally, jumping then retreating once the corresponding news have been corroborated, denied, or even contradicted, the financial markets seem, at times, to be taking the allure of a casino with the performance of some sectors or individual stocks are subject to wild swings, and sometimes even within the same day… How do you advise retail investors to behave under the circumstances?
Consequently, could you see a situation where the repercussions of Trump and his team’s behaviour could affect the US stock and bond markets in an irreparable manner? (For example, large investment houses retreating from given sectors in tandem creating a serious imbalance in trade, or China dumping their large trove of Treasury bonds.)
Q: Retired investor with RIF and pension income looking to deploy capital to generate growth (moderate risk) and income. Please provide 5 companies each in the US and Canada to investigate further for investment soon. Canadian banks and utilities owned, so please exclude those.
Q: Looking to add some gold to my portfolio for the short term. I have a small position in AEM. I saw you've recommended a few gold ETFs. Would it be best held in an RRSP or TFSA account? Thanks in advance.
Q: I sold these stocks for tax loss harvesting just over three weeks ago. Please confirm how long I have to wait before I can buy it back - 30 calendar days?
Thanks for your great help and advice.
Q: Over a year ago you suggested a weighting in tech of 20 to 30%, has that changed if so what would it be today? What weighting do you recommend for gold?
Q: I'm sure you'll have a bunch of questions on NVDA, AVGO and semis in general. How far do you think this particular Trump Train Wreck will go? Any guesses are appreciated, as well as thoughts on whether to hold, sell or buy more - !
Thanks!
