Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Peter, I have about 15000.00 for an RRSP account. I know you can't personalize the account but could you suggest 5 - 10 good Canadian stocks for such an account if looking for income for a 66 year old investor. Thanks

Q: P/P $43.63 a few years ago.AW is trading near 1 yr low of $29.18.Is it timely to add and what is good entry price? Txs for u usual great services & views

Q: Hello
A general question.
Are any REITs such as AP.UN, Royalty Funds such as AW.UN or any ETF's eligible to claim the dividend tax credit?
Thank you
Jeff

Q: Since last your last report on AW.UN about a year ago, what has changed if anything in your view on this company? Debt still appears to be under control. Valuation I think is a bit better. What are your greatest concerns / company risks going forward? Same store sales?

Q: Good morning
3 questions plse take 3 credits

1. I purchased AW.UN at around 44$ a couple of years ago and since then it has now slid to 30$ what will it take for it to regain some value back up to around 44$?

2. BIP.UN looked like it was recovering but now has slipped back into the high 30$ any particular reason for the fall back?

3. Currently own GOOG which cant seem to get any traction but wondering for a long term hold would AMZN be a better buy for long term growth? Which would you buy if only one can be held?

Thks
Marcel

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

Many times when you are asked for a good dividend stock for a long term hold QSR makes the cut. Today Marco asked for top 5 consumer discretionary names, it did not make that cut while AW.UN and PLC did. Do you view QSR less positively than those names?
Thanks for all you do

Q: Hi Peter,

I wonder if you might provide some colour on the Pret a Manger franchise agreement, how have things progressed. Would this be a a reason to purchase A&W stock and does the agreement allow stand alone stores separate from A&W.

Cheers,

Rod TorQuest typically invests in mid-sized companies, seeking to revamp them with changes to governance, strategy and operations, and building them up with injections of capital and acquisitions. Its current investments include Canadian fast food chain A&W Food Services of Canada Inc. and Calgary-based information technology staffing company S.i. Systems.

Q: I'm hoping to take profit from ATD and maybe CSU. My weight in CSU is out of hand but I find it hard to sell that juggernaut. I also have TOI and LMN. I'm happy with my weighting of TOI and i plan to add a small weighting in LMN. I'm underweight in the following: SIS, PBH, SHOP, TD, BEP.UN, ENB, T, SLF, AW.UN. How would you rank these names going forward? Would you recommend swapping any of these for better opportunities that 5i covers or are in the balanced portfolio?

Q: Let’s eat! Putting eating biases aside, of PZA, BPF.UN, and AW.UN which would you prefer to invest in?

Q: The following holdings in a TFSA are underwater. In your opinion, which ones are worth keeping for a potential near future recovery? AW, BATT, BTO, BTE, WXM, ILLM, GUD and LSPD
Thank you!

Q: These stocks are owned in an income portfolio and while their yields are good the continued downward trend is worrisome. Which would you replace, and with what, and if you could provide a reasoning for the change. REAL is my "real" worry, if truth be told, but I also feel slightly off my pizza these days ...
