Investment Q&A

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

Q: As I start my 6th 16-year-old grandchild off on his investing journey with $500, I am writing to ak if you have a suggestion for a growth stock to complement half of the total invested in conservative BCE. He is hoping - at very long odds - to match his older (now 18 with an account in his own name) brother who chose SHOP to go along with BCE. I know this is a tough challenge, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Bob.

Q: Hi Peter

You recently wrote an article about investing versus gambling which neatly explained why investing was not gambling. I had no issue with your explanation, but must admit that lately I am concerned that investing is starting to feel more and more like gambling. You just do not know what Trump is going to Tweet or do next. China’s reactions are another issue. I am not confident that Trump fully understands what he is doing. Case in point , his remarks that China is adding all kings of money into the US Treasury due to the tariffs he is imposing. Look at the reactions to his plan to impose further tariffs on China and subsequent devaluation of the Chinese currency. You just do not know what he will do next. But it does look like China is digging in for along term battle. Your comments please. Uncertainty is extremely high now. So why not sell most equity investments and move to the sidelines?
