Investment Q&A

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

Q: With US inflationary concerns (hopefully) receding and the Fed finally pausing on US interest rate hikes (again hopefully) I'm hopeful the US market strength will broaden from some of the mega cap names like NVDA down to more mid-cap opportunities. Are there any mid ($2.5-20bn market cap) names you like currently/would suggest? (US or Canadian)

Q: I have these stocks in my TFSA and most are doing okay. I have some extra cash to use to either beef up or buy another stock or ETF. I’m an income investor with also an interest in growth. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. I appreciate your work immensely.

Q: How do you see the real estate sector performing over the next 12-18 months? In an otherwise balanced portfolio, I currently have no real estate holdings. Would you suggest I add here and - if yes - would you opt for RIT or DIR.UN? It would be a 3% total weighting. Alternatively, I could purchase either OTEX, EIF or PRMW. Looking for a combination of growth with a fair-sized dividend and moderate risk. What would recommend - and in what order (strongest first)? Thank you.

Q: These 4 securities represent my industrials holdings. I wish to add to this sector and would appreciate if you can suggest another company that would be a great complement to this group. Alternatively, would you suggest simply adding to the existing holdings and if yes, in what order would you add? Thank you.

Q: Good morning!
As a dividend investor, I am noting that BNS now pays 1.25% higher dividend than EIF. I hold full positions in each. I am considering selling EIF and doubling down on BNS. I see BNS as having - as well as a higher dividend - an upside in the order of 50% when the economy stabilzes and perhaps the Ukraine war is over. I do see growth from EIF, but think that in a 2 to 5 year window EIF might see steady growth with perhaps a maximum of 25% upside, seemingly less than the bank. What do you think of this reasoning, and are there any reasons why this might not be a good idea? This swap would be in registered accounts (50% TFSA and 50% RIF), so there are no immediate tax implications.
Thanks! ... Paul K

Q: I have owned these stocks in my non-registered account for 12 years except ETF IGM, T, CTC.A (bought 2 yr ago - up a fair bit). T bought 5 years or so ago. GSY, MFC & GRT.UN a year ago - all 3 up nicely. I buy dividend growers for the most part. I have been retired for quite a while - so, more interested in dividend growth. Large portfolio with banks 40% of total. Do not worry about market downturns: add to positions when they go on sale -08/09 and 2020. Sitting on cash and looking to add to these positions . Do not own ENF.CA - typo. Suggestions?? IFC 5-6 years up 220% including dividends.
