Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi, Listening to a recent podcast by Keystone Financial, some concerns were raised about high debt level and low organic growth, with most growth generated from acquisitions for Terravest. Do you agree ?

The stock has been weak recently and is now trading at $73, below the recent secondary issue at $74.25 and $9 below its recent high of $82. The decline could well be market related, with DOW and Industrial Sector under pressure, the whole week and not really company specific - Don't know.

At the same time, ADF Group is hitting new highs, almost every day, ignoring the weakness in the Industrial Sector, in general.

Both these companies are on your recommended list. Also, my understanding, based on your investment approach is that you would rather add to a position with stock seeing strong momentum than average down when a stock is in a downwards trend.

Not sure, if the recent price action makes one of the two stocks better than the other, but if you have $$$ to add, which one will you choose today and why ?

Thank You

Q: Recently FIX has been very favourably mentioned in the Q + A. I have been holding TT for some time (and wow, thanks very much 5i for referring to this). Are the 2 very similar or can both be held? And if only one, which would you see as having the better total return performance going forward? Thank you for the excellent service.

Q: I'm interested in an energy name that I can hold for a minimum of 5 years with good dividends and reliable long term growth? I'm torn between an ETF with less volatility like XEG and an individual stock like CNQ with its higher growth? What do you suggest? Should I wait for a better season?

Q: Re your portfolio analytics tool - I am pretty sure you may not agree with my portfolio….all Canadian dividend payers - financials, pipelines, utilities, telcos etc…you will think I have too much in financials. I live off the dividends without need to touch the capital (other than for some tax planning). I know most investment managers would advise that I should diversify a lot more, but I am comfortable with the composition. With this portfolio in mind and my comfort level, what benefit will your portfolio analytic tool offer me if you accept that I don’t want to hear that I should diversify? I’m trying to figure out if I should upgrade and what benefit I may enjoy. Thanks. Feel free to make this question either private or public.

Q: Good morning,

I was looking for somewhere to put my money for a short period of time and I heard about money market fund etfs and high intrest savings account etfs. I have a vague understanding of the two but would it be possible to get the pros and cons of each and when they preform differently and the worst case scenario (ie what a maximum loss would look like) for these two types of etfs?

Thank you very much,

Aidan

Q: Soon interest rates should begin the inevitable long slow slide down. Can you rank these three sectors, banks, REITs & long term bonds, when the interest rates begin falling? Keep up the excellent work... Thanks.
