Q: Hello,
I wanted to get your thoughts (do you like the space) on Invitation Homes. Debt is on the higher side but it's an interesting concept that is meeting changing lifestyle demands by providing access to high-quality, updated homes with valued features such as close proximity to jobs and access to good schools.
Thank you,
Glen

Q: The federal government has made resent announcements about buying PPE from China and USA and just today of a large contract to purchase masks from General Motors but nothing of purchasing the products from Canadian based Alpha Pro. The stock had a large jump end of Feb but in the short term is trading 12-14 range. Appears to have a solid balance sheet; and CFRA has a Strong Buy recommendation.
What is the teams opinion of APT?
Thanks Douglas

Q: Hi-
Is the number of close to 90% payout ratio for BNS correct? Do loan loss provisions factor into that payout ratio? I would assume yes. If so, I would consider 90 percent not particularly alarming considering the current economic environment. This would cover delinquencies after the 6 month mark, correct?

Q: The Certified Financial Planners’ Guide (https://fpcanada.ca/docs/default-source/standards/2020-pag---english.pdf) provides long-term projected guidelines for Canadian, foreign-developed, and emerging markets (as well as for other assets). Unfortunately, it does not break out the long-term projected guidelines by country, and it lumps the US market with "other foreign-developed markets".

For example, I expect that the long-term growth rates will differ between the US, Japan, EU and UK. Similarly, the growth rates in emerging markets will vary tremendously by country (e.g. China versus Ukraine).

I am looking for more detailed projections to assist in my financial planning. Are you aware of a credible source which provides long-term projected financial guidelines by country, or as a minimum by region?

Also, the Certified Financial Planners' Guide forecasts Canada to have the lowest projected equity returns of the geographic regions. I would like to better understand whether this is a broad-based concensus.

Thank you for this wonderful service.

Q: Hi,
I found myself keep under-performing comparing to the market. I'm thinking about replacing my stocks with index ETFs.
Do you think it's a good idea to have a profolio consisting of all leveraged index ETFs? for example, leveraged TSX index + leveraged SP500 index + leveraged index from other countries?
My understanding is that the market tends to go up, so if it says leverage then I get more return in the long run?
Also, could you recommend some of those leveraged ETFs? From googling I found some names such as HSU, SSO, etc. Are they good?
Thank you!

Q: I own a fair number of the stocks in your portfolios. Given that there may be an upcoming rotation from the hot Tech sector into more value oriented stocks, what are some beaten up value names in your portfolios that you would be comfortable holding a 3% position in? I am still 30% cash and I am trying to wait until second quarter carnage is in and then buy value names. What are your thoughts on this?
Thank You for your support in these times.
Clarence
