I currently have the above companies in my Non-Registered account. I am looking to add some money - can you tell me what company you would add to OR can you recommend another that I can take a look at. Appreciate your comments.

Q: In looking a bit deeper into COLD, I see the short position is ~ 14%! Is this simply b/c it is quite expensive for an REIT? Forward P/E is 70. Apart from it being "expensive" is there any other reason for a high short position on what should be a fairly stable company?

Q: I note that Covid has ignited a lot of demand in modular construction throughout the world. Today's New York Times has a nice article spotlighting the increasing usage and it appears this is a long term upward trend. Dexterra is about the only pure play stock in Canada and it also pays a nice dividend. Fairfax is the largest holder. I think a long term holder will be amply rewarded.

Q: Hi,
I have some questions about investing in a taxable account (non-registered) vs a registered account?
1) when to use registered vs non-registered accounts assuming money is borrowed (LOC or HELOC) where the interest can be deducted in personal income tax (high bracket)?
2) what is preferred (to lower tax) to use in case of non-registered account investment assuming one spouse (X) is in the top income tax bracket and the other spouse (Y) is low tax bracket? X and Y joint account or Y only account or X only? Again investment money is borrowed under HELOC (joint).
Thanks,

Q: The current news that Go Easy is buying back shares could indicate good news or bad, which is it. If I should sell now looks like the time if there is bad news ahead.

Q: If we were to see rotation into value and cyclical stocks in 2021, which 5 Canadian value stocks and 5 Canadian cyclical stocks would you recommend. And what are the probabilities of such a rotation happening? Tnx

Q: Hello Peter,
From what I have been reading: The cash positions within pension and other investment funds is at historically low levels. The trend over the past few weeks has been a shift from growth and technology to cyclical and value stocks.
On the flip side, the technology sector generally does well to start the new year.
I have done well with growth stocks mostly in the tech sector and have a couple of holdouts such as DXCM, AYX GH that have not performed. And I am also fully invested.
Should I look to raise cash by trimming my gains, which would be in tech, mostly US except for some CAD such as DSG, LSPD OTEX etc? Or, should I sell the growth holdouts for cash? Should I even raise cash and invest in cyclicals and value such as TT, RTX, US financials or any other you may suggest. Or should I just ride the growth portfolio into January and spring of 2021?
Looking for your magic eight ball answer.
Regards
Rajiv

( use as many credits as required)

A. Shorterm buy for 3 to 6 month, momentum type buy, get out once it slows.
B. Longterm hold growth stock ( 5+ years), but you expect a quick rise in the shorterm.
C. Longterm hold balanced stock ( somegrowth, stable adn growing div), maybe something that has been beaten up by covid that provides a good buy right now.
