Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello Peter
As a recent new member, I am both impressed and a little overwhelmed with all the information. I started making a lists of potential companies to invest with, but decided to cut to the chase and just ask you....I am looking for your recommendation for both income and growth companies.... perhaps 4 or 5 of each. I am fully invested in TD, which has done well for me this last year, as well as a couple energy stocks.... Spartan and Ring. I am retired but have a steady income flow with pensions and dividends from an ongoing business. Thank you for offering such a great service and look forward to a bright and lucrative future. Brian

Q: YGR is seemingly highly rated and has been up more than 200% this year already. Is it still a buy at this level (closed at $4.79 on Friday)? Energy stocks could be back in vogue and with every sector almost already fully priced, it may be their turn.

I have dedicated about 5% of my total capital for very short term (say, no more than a month) high risk investments. Right now I am holding ENB in this slot ( a result of my recent bottom fishing) and I would like to flip it for something else before the Enbridge media day in December. Just in case Enbridge may say something untoward and jeopardizes its pledged dividend increases, or lower its guidance for 2018. After all this company had missed its earning targets for about six quarters. I could lose my modest ENB gain so far, and perhaps more.

Would YGR be a better choice for a bigger short term gain than ENB? Thanks for your take on this idea.

Q: Hi Peter
Wondering if Empire has finally turned itself around . I had the stock ,sold it . Lately as I walked into Whole Foods ,I wondered what the grocery stores were worried about . Amazon ,from my point of view has not done much to change the pricing in their take over . Companies like Costco and Kroger in the US just need to keep doing what they have successfully done all these years .would you get into Empire today .

Q: Hello, One of kids just turned 18 and I would like to start a TFSA. What would you recommend to invest in as a long term goal so that they can also learn about investing. The money will not be required for next 5 years at least
Thanks

Q: Could you explain about the delisting from TSX and transfer to another exchange.
Will this have a negative effect on the share price?
Would there be any benefit it selling my Aphria shares and buying WEED - all else(taxes) being equal, for this reason only? I have done well with the APH so far?
Thanks
Jeff

Q: I'm wondering if your service will keep members posted on the yield curve trends in the US?
I'm no economist. But many pundits are saying big trouble lies ahead: Short term rates increase, long term rates don't, curve flattens, recession hits, corporate bonds default massively, blood in the streets etc etc. I think I am a typical member, in that I have some confidence that I am building a portfolio that works for me ( with help from you). But I am lacking knowledge about the macro risks that could wipe me (us? ) out. Will 5i monitor and comment occasionally on this risk?

Q: I am retired and my income needs are covered by pension and RRSP. My question is about my non sheltered investment account and the dividends. Since I don't require the income from that account, would it make sense to enroll the dividend securities in the DRIP/DPP plans available? Would this reduce my income for tax purposes because I would just be "buying" more of the security instead of gaining cash dividends?
Thanks for your help.

Q: Hi
Just read the question from another member regarding long term returns and longrundata with the response including a link to a Canadian Dividend Aristocrats site.
Are you aware of this site that has a monthly update of Canadian companies that increase their dividend ranked by the period of time the company has annually increased its dividend to shareholders? (CU is #1 at 45 years).
