Q: Hi 5i,
Hold the above companies in my TFSA ($30,000). % holdings around 10% for each, except CAE, OSS TRI, AD which are 3% - 5%.

Looking to deploy $5,000. Looking at d-un, dir-un, Telus & Fortis.

Safety and Income preferred, as in mid 60's. I would certainly welcome any other suggestions.

Thank You.

Q: Hi, since the time insiders sold their shares at $44.65, few months ago, stock has n't recovered and continues to drift lower, trading at $40 level now, down from the high of $47 touched earlier during the year. Recent quarter was also good and company raised the dividend, but it did n't help the share price. We bought at $44 after secondary was announced, with the objectives of decent income and some growth. Do you see any catalyst to the shares in near term and is it worth to continue to own ? Thanks

Q: since guardant announced their earnings one month ago, increased their guidance, earnings were excellent, stock hit a 110, since then it has cratered big time from 110 to 80 in one month on no news, i exited at 96 with a small profit. it was too painful to watch.
my question is there has to be some reason, maybe their drug trials are not working as well as people think, something, a short report, etc nothing craters like this on no news.i can always buy it back but this is insanity. dave

Q: In your opinion, what are the largest factors in preventing Sienna Senior Living from trading at higher multiples? Is there that much of a difference between the retirement home business and apartment reits? Apartment Reits seem to be trading at multiples in the 20s and above while, according to Scotia, SIA is trading at a 2019 FFO multiple of less than 14.

Thanks for your insight.

Q: I am a retired investor who has always believed in dividends because of the tax treatment. However, we carry a considerable capital so are unlikely to pay capital gains tax for some time. It would seem then that ROC is actually beneficial so things like REITs should be held in a taxable account with the BCEs and the banks.Am I right?
Thanks

Q: I currently have a position in cnq and wondering if this company is the best way to get exposure to oil. I am targeting a 5% position in my portfolio for oil stocks. I am considering selling this position in favour of Royal Dutch Shell. I am not concerned with the Canadian/us exchange since I hold both currencies. My targeted rate of return is 10% per year over the long run (dividend plus capital appreciation)and a 6% current yield in RDS goes a long way in achieving this return. I am also not concerned with the tax impact so the dividend tax credit is not an issue.
What is your preferred way to hold you exposure to oil? Is there a stock that you prefer to cnq or RDS?

Thanks for your comments.
