Investment Q&A

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

Q: I've been following the Home Capital Group challenges from the sidelines. Given the valuation and what I see as pretty stable earnings and a sustainable dividend, I'm thinking of starting a position via selling puts but I'm not sure the dust has settled on the dismissal of the CEO yet. I'm worried there may be another shoe to drop like financials restating or another governance issue that the company hasn't shared yet? My thinking is that if any new problems contributed to the CEO being let go, the company would have had to make that public by now. What do you think?

Thanks
Peter

Q: Hi there..
I currently own CCL.B as well as WPK. I am curious as to why you classify them as basic materials. It seems my bank has a different opinion. When I hit the analyze button on my investments through my direct investment site.. it says I am currently only invested 1.1% in basic materials... but when I classify the above stocks as basic materials I am weighted just fine.... thoughts? Are there any other basic materials you would recommend?

Thanks
Sue

Q: Hi Peter and Team
Enjoyed your BNN show and picks as always!
I am reasonably balanced in my RSP with your positions in your growth and balanced portfolios but now, at age 68 have to convert my RSP to RIF in a few years. I am considering transferring most "in Kind" and would be looking at 10-20 stocks to hold that are good income generators. Would you consider listing 10 good stocks to continue to hold in a RIF ?
Should I try and hold more "conservative" dividend growers ?
Would you suggest I sell to cash and purchase larger positions of the financials, for example; or is it better to stay balanced?

Complicated question but I appreciate the advice as I have done quite well from you previous guidance

Thanks,
Peter
