Investment Q&A

Q: Hi, I'm seeing what appears to be rather large moves in these two stocks, so am wondering what I'm missing. Or are these sorts of daily movements going to be the "new normal" going forward? I'd like to hear your thoughts - thanks and keep up the great work!

Q: Can I ask for an updated view of KPT.

Q: For now, investors seem to have decided to fade the chaos of Trumpenomics. However, one has to wonder how long the massive contradictions will be ignored.
Scott Bessent (Treasury), the man who wrote the report that identified the contradictions in the UK economy that made George Soros $billions, certainly must see the dangers, and yet, he is the source of one of the major contradictions, when he says the Fed shouldn’t lower rates while Trump demands the opposite.

Is Fed independence under attack and how will investors read this?

Are tariffs, as claimed, for revenue or to reduce imports? They can’t be both.
But if the tax cuts are to be permanent, $3 trillion in revenue has to be found somewhere.

Will Trump let a gnat like the Parliamentarian, or the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, stand in his way?

If, at some point, investors focus on the issues around tariffs-as-revenue, or threats to Fed independence they may begin to worry, and decide to sell equities.

The cost to hedge against such an event would be prohibitively expense given one wouldn’t know whether or when it would occur.

I’m sure 5i is considering these issues, but here is what I am pondering. How does an investor with a large equity portfolio manage this kind of risk? Would growth stocks be hardest hit? Are etfs better than individual stocks? What defensive stocks are likely least affected? Are there equities that would do well in such a scenario? How would bonds perform?

Q: Could you please suggest some Active & Passive Emerging Market ETF's without China exposure available on both Canadian and US exchanges that might be worth adding to one's TFSA?

Q: I am looking at VTI or QQQ for a long term hold in my RRSP. I have read that value has outperformed growth over the long term, so VTI would be better as it’s a large-cap blend instead of growth ETF (QQQ). Do you expect growth to outperform value or vice versa over the next 25 years?

Q: Relate to my earlier question on BCE, to fund a single lot buy of GOOG after selling BCE, to fund the gap I need to trim or sell one or some of my existing USD holdings: BN, BAM, BEP, BIPC, BIP, SHOP, VGT, PLTR, ICLN, PRMB. I like them all. What order would YOU consider in selling/trimming? Most have some tax implications due to lengthy holding periods.

Q: Could you please comment on Fairfax Financial Quarterly/FY earnings released today.

We own Intact Financial, but are looking to add another P&C Insurance Co. ( which also is in asset management business - we already have Brookfield Corp. }

Fairfax seems to be executing very well and stock performance supports this thesis.
Company is also buying back its stock, aggressively.

How do you assess and rate this Co. , on valuation, debt, risk and consistency of Growth over long period of time ?

Would you be comfortable to start a new position or add at current levels ?

Thank You
