Q: Thanks for your answer on the above but while it identifies the companies involved it does not address the reasons for the parabolic nature of this months rise, other than those companies prices also rose. But why?? It looks as though somebody/something goosed the sector as the gain is abnormal. A change in (US) policy? A virus issue impairing China's competitive ability? A technical development? Can you contribute to this analysis. Industry progress prior to February was consistent with prior periods; February was not. Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i,

In my non-reg account I prefer to hold stocks that I can hold onto for a minimum of 3 to 5 years and possibly 10 to 20, that have a yield of around 3% to 5% with the stock price growing +/-5% annually.

Having said that, I am looking to add a stock that would be equal to approx. 1% of total portfolio value.

I am considering adding to my renewable utility stocks (BEP, AQN, INE and BLX which currently total 7.5% of total portfolio value), bank stocks (TD and RY currently 6% of total portfolio value) or telecommunications (Telus or BCE currently 0% of total portfolio). My concern with T and BCE are the current CRTC talks and what may be the market reaction to any deemed negative outcome.

Other than the above listed stocks do any others come to mind that you would recommend at this time?

Please deduct for multiple questions as you see fit.
Thanks!

Q: Here it is, the long-overdue market correction. If it wasn't the conavid 19 virus that triggered it, something else would have.

I'm compiling a watchlist of virus-driven oversolds using stockcharts.com. Peter, could you recommend 5 Canadian and 5 US stocks that look oversold at the moment? The correction could drag on for awhile and bring valuations closer to historical norms, but at some point there will be capitulation and a chance to get into some good stocks at bargain prices.

Q: I wonder if I could get you to speculate what impact Bernie Sanders being elected President might have on the markets. And how one might adjust a portfolio in response/anticipation of such an event. For example, I imagine there could be a major impact on health care stocks.

Q: Hi, I am 42 and just signed up for your portfolio analysis service. One of the key gaps noted was an over-sized focus on Canadian equities and etfs, and particularly a gap in sufficient international investments.
With a 20+ investment horizon for an existing rrsp portfolio, could you suggest some holdings to build a better international base? I already use Both general and thematic etfs but would be happy to add some more targeted stocks of ideas as well.

Thanks so much

Peter

Q: HSAV is a new offering by Horizons that looks similar to PSA but is a corporate class fund (estimated gross yield 2.25%).

Q: I'm interested in somehow purchasing shares or ownership in SpaceX which is privately listed at the moment. I know that Baron Partners Fund (BPTRX) has ownership in the U.S. but I haven't found a way to purchase Baron Funds from my current self-directed TD account. Do you know of any Canadian brokers or ways to buy into Baron funds?
