Investment Q&A

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

Q: Have NFI, DOL, and CIX.

Not too impressed with DOL, looking to sell.

Want to add a good growth stock. Loblaws and BCE look appealing. BCE appears on multiple picklists, and seems sector-leading . And Loblaws shows strong fundamentals and consistently growing profits.

Your views on these or other better options please.

Q: Hi Peter,

The following were initial 4% positions which have gone down quite a bit and wanted to know if I should sell, hold or add:

In my TFSA, GUD (down 19.9%) and PTE (down 47.3%); in my margin account, TV (down 30.4%) and in my RRSP, ECN (down 6.4%).

If I sell then my options to replace would be RHT, GC, TSGI, PBH or GSY. I would appreciate your opinion. I am looking for high growth; risk and sector aren't an issue.

Please deduct as many credits as appropriate. Thanks as always.

Q: Hi

Would it be possible to tweak the question section so that when we click "answer" it doesn't auto scroll right to that point? It's very jarring and also somewhat unhelpful because it's nice to be able to reference the question without having to scroll back up to it. Especially when it's about multiple companies. Maybe something to consider? Thanks!

Q: say what you want about eric nuttall but he is by far the best oil analyst out there and as he explains it;
100 million barrels of world wide oil use a day, increasing by 1.5 million barrels each year, no new projects coming on stream for 4-5 years and world spare capacity at 1.5 million barrels, opec can increase all they want but that just reduces spare capacity, the least little interruption— hurricaine , pipeline, refinery, war etcetc, THE PRICE OF OIL HAS TO GO HIGHER AND 100. dollars is not out of the question. please comment. dave

Q: Hi, Now that the pricing of the secondary has been announced at US$38 along with increase in the size of offering, with closing expected on or around June 25, 2018, do you expect any major market reaction to the stock price, after it smartly bounced back over $4 from the last week's low. I have already built in 2.5% position, in past few days and wondering if it's prudent to wait for stock to settle. Thanks

Q: I have owned NSC and CSX for many years and have done quite well. I am thinking about trimming some profit and diverting into Amazon. I want to own Amazon but wonder if I am getting into it too late and where the valuation is excessively high. How might you approach this scenario? Would you consider selling profit off of CSX and NSC and buying amazon or stay put? I am a long term investor.

Thank you

Q: Could I get your opinion on these two industrial REITs, both down somewhat due to new secondary offerings (general comments on the sector, payout percentage, debt level, etc.). Do you prefer one over the other? What would view as the maximum percent-of-portfolio for each?
Thank-you

Q: CITIC metals has agreed to take a 21% interest in IVN making this company the largest stock holder. Robert Friedland holds a similar position. What is the likely outcome of this investment in light of the DRC's contemplated legislation around increase in mining royalties. Will China's increasing influence in Africa have an impact?

Q: Hi team, I would like to add some US health care (which I know you don't cover) to my non-registered account for a long term hold and was wondering which one you like better between SYK and ISRG. I am ok with some risk.
Thanks
