Investment Q&A

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

Q: Looking to setup a very concentrated TFSA to drive long term capital gains. Currently holding the above names. TSU has not been nearly as exciting as the other names. Is TSU going to provide outsized capital gains? My thinking is to sell TSU and allocate the funds to the other names equally. If there are others names you would recommend pls do share.

Q: I am looking at the insurance industry for my next purchase in a non registered account , mainly consisting of banks, utilities, telecoms, REITS.

Which of these three offer the best growth potential over the next 5 years and why ? I can handle moderate risk. Which offers the best entry price ? Are there other CDN listed insurance companies I should consider ?
Thanks. Derek.

Q: Hi,
Enjoyed Chris and Zach's podcast. How come they chose PNG/TSU as their small caps and not some of your usual favourites like PRL or PAY . Also I am somewhat surprised that whilst PNG/TSU do get "airtime" in your Q&As, they don't make it in your small caps short list. You must have some rationale. Somewhat puzzled, that's all.

Q: In a registered account I would like to do some money recycling and choose 2 to depart from and recycle back into the others. HPS.A with 4% weighting and GSY at 6%. WELL is (well below) purchase price and although I still believe in the company the others might do better with a 5 years horizon but maybe not, your take. Could you identify the 2 you would let go and where would you recycle money into with a 1-5 preference, 1 beeing where you would add the most and 5 you would put the least. Having said all of that the total portfolio is much bigger and the position size of all of the above except for HPS and GSY are in the 1-2% range.

Thank you

Q: Hello Peter,

The insurance sector has been outperforming this year and I am wondering if it is still time to add to sector weight.
Your preferred choice here is Intact Financial and if I do not increase my sector weight, I will have to replace with selling either SLF or TSU.
What is your opinion?
Regards
Rajiv
