Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have an ALA position that was created through a drip program, at a much higher ACB. I am thinking of taking the loss, and transferring the proceeds to another dividend paying stock. What two companies would you recommend, already have FTS, AQN, BNS, RY, IPL, B
Thanks

Q: If things get real bad and multiple Investment dealers start potentially going bankrupt, does the Canadian Investor Protection Fund have the means to cover the losses? Would an investor be wiser to take cash and deposit into multiple bank accounts?

Q: Hi, I'm a retired, dividend-income investor. I took some profits and losses (to wipe out potential capital gains) over the last 5 weeks and am now planning on reinvesting the cash to top up some of my existing equities, up to my desired asset allocation. I want to leg in, in probably 3 waves over the next couple (?) of months, to top up ZWC, AD, AQN, AW, BNS, BCE, LNF, NWC, RY, TRP, WSP.

Can you please indicate which of the above equities you would allocate into which wave (in other words, does it look like the equity is "ready" for an investment OR should I continue to wait for a while)...or not at all (not worth any further investment).

Thanks for your help...Steve

Q: Hello 5i--I'm looking at these companies for the dividend yield. A bonus would be their recovery to previous highs. What would your ranking be for the three to achieve these goals? Thanks, Ron W

Q: Could I get your take on REITs at these levels. I thought they would have held up much better in this current meltdown. Are investors just dumping them because they think tenants are going bankrupt and default on their lease agreements? What is your opinion on FCR.UN? or do you prefer HR.UN? Thanks Ron

Q: Which companies do you think might not survive the crisis and it's better dumping now while they still have value? I think you have mentioned the oil producers and what about restaurant stocks? I just listed a few examples here of both.

Q: Hi,

I just received your market update and was a bit caught off guard that you have decided to remove MX from the BP. While I am not surprised, it was somewhat irksome as I had sold it in January and had just purchased it back the other day. My question is, based on my much lower entry point, does a hold make sense at this point?
