Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good morning fine team
I am revisiting my sector balance and realize that it is difficult to find one source to narrow down what the sectors are; Can you please sort this out
AYA - Consumer Cyclical or Leisure service
BDI - Energy or Diversified Services
BYD.UN - Mutual Fund (Diversified Services)
CGX - Consumer Cycl or Services (Media)
DH - Info Tech or Services (Business)
STN - Industrials (Manuf) or Diversified Services
XTC - Cons Cyclical or Ind/Manuf
Also some REITS are called Financial/Real Estate?
The term "Services" seems to cross many sectors???
Thank you for all you do. The more I learn from you, the more I realize there is to learn - very enjoyable

Q: Peter: HNZ Group Inc. (HNZ) has dropped almost 10% after announcing poor quarterly results last week. Do you see this pullback as a buying opportunity? Thanks.

Q: Hi team -
I apologize for dragging on the T1135 subject, but I'm a bit confused by your response to Henry's example of the VALUE of his initial $50K investment rising above $100K at anytime of the year.

You said "Yes, in this case you would need to fill out form 1135. The requirement is if foreign assets are greater than $100,000 at any time during the taxation year."

I'm confused because I'm under the impression that if the total COST of the security is above $100K anytime of the year it would then become a requirement. If Henry bought at JNJ $50K and then held on indefinitely without purchasing any more shares he would not have this requirement regardless of whether or not the market value increased beyond $100K. I thought the key word is COST.

Am I missing something here? Thanks for your help.

Hi- what do you think of Guardian Capital? It seems cheap compared to others in the space and seemed to have a good earnings report.
Thanks

Q: Concerning Tricon (TCN). You commented on an earlier question that the housing market in the US was strengthening and that Canadian lumber companies were showing increases from this. I also noticed that a large home builder in the US, Pulte Homes, has shown recent strength as well. My question is why Tricon stock does not seem to be participating in this rebound. Are their projects still too far off or perhaps the rental market not improving. Really appreciate your insights.

Q: PRC - is doing a stock consolidation; 10 shares become 1; I am a share-holder and do not understand; will $1,000.00 worth of stock become worth $100.00 - that would explain the selling, but seems crazy; please advise.
