Investment Q&A

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

Q: Re: dividend paying stocks and interest rates: thanks to 5i and Lance for the insight. This was a point I totally overlooked and is obviously an important one.
The Q&A is an excellent way to learn and I very much appreciate it!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Peter, I have owned the ETF XRE (RRSP) for over 4 years and incl. reinvested dividends I have a gain of approx. 130%. REITS have been hit recently due to concerns about our real estate market (negative press as always) and > interest rates, I guess? Would you sell or keep-Reits should do well in a little higher int. rates as this would indicate a bit of inflation which should be good for fixed asset valuations-I would think?

Q: I was surprised at the drop in the price of gold on Friday based on payroll data. I would have thought that, as with utility stocks, that this would already heve been discounted by the market. Regarding Detour Gold, other than the recent financing , you have seemed positive on the company. Are there any company specific events in the next 12-15 months that you think could positively influence ths share price?

Q: Hi Peter and Team, I recently added to my position in TELUS and BCE, during last week's price weakness. Besides the spectrum debate after industry minister's comments, do you see more downside in these stocks due to ongoing fear of sharp rise in bond yields? I noticed a comment somewhere that AMLP and Utilities/Telcos ETF on US exchange stopped its recent decline, during Friday's rally in US markets. Your comments are most appreciated. Thanks

Q: Peter,

I like your opinion on NDN. They recently agreed to sell one of their businesses and would have $3 in cash from that.

Q: Hi Gang, I think I understand why AGNC is falling like a stone, but as long as it's backed by the U.S. government, is it a screaming buy (5% position) at this price.
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter:
Another question regarding the the rotation out of bonds. I have huge capital gains in XRB and was wondering if it would be a good idea to sell and put the proceeds into a 5 year GIC ladder to lessen the damage that could be caused by rising intrest rates.

Thanks
Ron
