Investment Q&A

Q: would you buy Nutrient now? is this opportunistic that CEO stepped down. is there a fertilizer ETF that you might like,Do you have a comment on Co. not telling market why CEO left?

Q: I have some extra USD money from a small US pension that is used for going to Florida in the winters. Since we have not gone in the last two years, I would like to put some of it in our TFSA. My questions are, if I buy say TD on the NY stock exchange would the dividend in US dollars be subject to 15% withholding tax. Could you please give me several companies I could buy into if this is true. Could you also give me several US companies or ETF's that would give me a dividend and hopefully growth for a long term hold. Thank you for all the help I get for being a member. Gary

Q: I see your answer today re: Gregory's question on Nutrien. At what level would you step in to add to a position. Looking at the technicals, I think the next level of support is in the $89-90 range, so we are close. Would you step in now or let it ride for a bit?

Thanks...Steve

Q: Hi 5i!

Which high quality stocks would you look at to take profit of the recent dip?

Q: Hello,

We are light on consumer cyclical and basic material
Would you be comfortable buying CCL.A and NTR for long term hold and income? Or is there a better combo that you would suggest?
Thank you

Q: I'm lacking in Consumer Defensive, Industrials, and Basic Materials. Please provide some names you like in each of those sectors.

I'd prefer safe income stocks but I'm open to hear a couple growth suggestions.

Q: Hi Peter,

In this downtrend market could you please give your three best stocks to buy for 3 to 5 years hold in each sector in canada and US as well ?
Thank you for your best advise on this platform.

Q: Looking for a Canadian stock or two that provides both a reasonable dividend and some growth. Please rate the above-noted stocks on a scale of 1-10 for both growth and risk over the next 12 months. Thank you.

Q: I am currently looking to increase allocations in LIF (1.8%) ,NTR (2.1%), NWC (1.2%) and PBH (1.95%).

Two questions

1) Would you avoid increasing the allocations on any of these?

2) In what order would you purchase the remaining?

THANK YOU for your superb advice and service.

Q: I am trying to steer my and my husband's TFSA's more toward growth. The stocks listed are some of the stocks in our TFSA's that I am considering swapping out in favour of growth-oriented stocks on my watchlist. Can I get your opinion? Do you think that any of the listed stocks have enough growth potential to belong in a growth-oriented TFSA?
Thank you, Doris

Thanks for your valued service since 2014.

Q: Can you please comment on Nutrien's recent quarter. Would you be comfortable initiating a position at the current share price?

Q: Hello and thanks for all you do.
Just wonder what your thoughts are on this ETF as a way to hedge against prolonged inflation/stagflation?
