Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5I just reviewing our positions and two laggards of late are fcr. and exe. Not concerned about holding them but wondering about replacing them for a better dividend or potential growth. Your thought would be appreciated.

Q: I need to increase my holdings of Consumer staples. Please rank the following in order of your preference when the main focus is dividend growth with secondary goal of capital appreciation.
ATD, L, MRU, SAP, WN, EMP.A, MFI, BCB, PBH, PJC.A

I can be patient in the timing of my purchases. Do you think this is a good time in the economic cycle tp purchase this sector?

Many Thanks

Paul

Q: With the prospect of interest rates rising in the very near future, is it time to lighten up on Reits?
Do you feel that there is much more upside in NFI and PBH stocks from their current values?
As always,thanks for your advice.

Q: I want to add some stocks to my TFSA and would prefer to have companies with good dividends (approx. 4%) and decent capital appreciation prospects for the next 3 to 5 years. Would you have any names that fit these criteria? Thanks

Q: Is PBH at its current price worth adding to my TFSA ? I currently do not hold this stock. Thank you in advance

Q: I currently own both of these companies. I'm planning on adding to one. Which would be your first choice for a long term hold {3 to 5 years} balancing some safety with reasonable growth.


Thanks Valter

Q: About a month ago, a member asked about the above companies, and you responded that you considered PBH riskier (although not *that* risky overall). In light of the AMZN move, do you still consider PBH riskier? I hold L, should I switch to PBH? For longterm, hopefully indefinite hold. Thank you.

Q: You have been pro PBH for sometime - and I have done OK with that (thanks). What is your opinion now in view of the Amazon/Wholefoods scenario?

Q: Hi Peter Do you feel that the whole food deal should have any effect on PBH To my understanding they play in different sand boxes
Kind Regards

Q: I have an rdsp for my son with approx.15% each in BCE, CM, ENB,OTEX and SIS. Also 4% in EFN. Can you please suggest 2 stocks to add to this portfolio? We have over 15 years before needing the money.
Thank you!

Q: My 30 years old son has a portfolio mixed with individual Canadian stocks, US ETF.and international ETF. In his Canadian side, he has TD, ECI, AQN, SIS, TOY, KXS, GUD, XEG + WCP.. Currently, his cash reserve can top up two more names. What would you suggest? Thanks

Q: Hi

I have 25000 investable cash for my tfsa acct, can you recommend 3 stocks I can pick for a long term(5years)hold.

Thanks.

Q: I have opened an RESP for my 5month old with 3K in it (2500 plus 500 from govt). I know its small the first year, but I don't want to add a Canadian ETF as they are too oil and gas and financial focused.

I would like to own some good Canadian growth names that will hopefully be worth a lot when she heads off to school in 18 years and would like to keep it small since it is a small account to start. My idea was the following 7: GUD, SHOP, SIS, T, TD, AQN, PBH. I would like your opinion on them. Would you do anything differently?

Once I own all of the Canadian stocks my plan is to add XAW for world diversification.

What do you think of this idea? Which stocks would you add to the account first? I was thinking of starting with either 3 of 1K each or 4 of 750 each. I pay 7 dollars to buy them which isn't too bad.

What order would you add in?

With only 3K per year in the account it would take 3 years to get the stocks and ETF. I could just add another 2500 to the account now so that I can buy more of it now and be instantly diversified. I would not receive the grant on it but would I still receive future grants?

Q: Please advise a stock to add to our grand kids trust account with a time frame of 15 years for growth. We presently have GUD and AIF.

Thanks
Tom
