Investment Q&A

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

Q: I need to gradually raise cash over the next 6 months and am operating on the assumption that interest rates will begin a to decline in late Q1, I would only like to sell those holdings that are less likely to do well in a declining interest rate environment. Please rank each of these holdings from "Sell Now - least likely to benefit from a declining rate environment" to "Avoid Selling - should do very well in a declining rate environment". AQN, BCE, BN, BNS, DSG, ENB, GSY, KXS, NTR, PBH, TCN, TD
Thanks...Glenn

Q: What are your views on Spin Master as a long-term investment? I've held it for a couple of years and it hasn't done much. It seems like they are a well run company and their recent acquisition strikes me as a good one. But will the stock deliver comparably solid long term returns or should I move on?

Q: I hold TD in my portfolio. I've read a couple articles recently highlighting that RY has performed much better than TD in recent years, pointing to RY's higher ROI investments (i.e. focusing on Canadian operations and US Wealth Management) relative to TD (i.e. focusing on US Retail banking, and their recent failed acquisition).

What are your general views on this comparison from an investing perspective and would you replace TD for another Canadian bank such as RY? Which of the Canadian banks would you select as a long-term "set it and forget it" investment based on sound management and, of course, expected stock returns.

Q: Hello Peter,
I recently asked about Topicus and whether i should sell and move onto Lumine Group. You had indicated, given Topicus's valuation, there is no need to sell and move onto Lumine group as the valuation seems to be inline .. I do not want to take a loss but it seems that Lumine group is getting alot of attention. What do you feel is a good entry point for Lumine group as it looks like Topicus maybe just a slow steady stock.. Much appreciated.

Q: Morning 5i;
If you have for an example $50K in a PSA or HISA account and you have that same amount on the 30th of the month ie x-dividend date you will get the full amount of the interest payment the next month a few days later . My question is if you had of taken out say $5k after the first two weeks of the month say the 15th , do you receive any interest payment on that $5k for the first 15 days that it was in the account OR do you only receive an interest payment based on whats in the account on the 3oth ?
Thanks

Q: I sold TRP for tax loss selling and used ENB for proxy as you recommended.
I am seeing that TRP is rising much faster than ENB.
Is there any reason for this disproportional rise of TRP vs ENB .
Thank you

Q: Peter; I’ve gone over your previous answers on AA and obviously it’s not your fav- but I’m just looking at the 5 year chart and see it maybe bottomed- 5 year high up in the $90’s - won’t it participate with a declining USD ? Your thoughts please. Just a small flyer .

Thanks.
