Investment Q&A

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

Q: I continue be interested in SJ, but on a recent drive in BC I saw some work being done to replace railway ties...they were not wood, they were concrete. This struck me as being a problem for SJ but I'm hoping you can elaborate. Does SJ make mention of how concrete ties are affecting their business? Do you have any idea what the price point difference is between wooden ties and concrete?

Q: We have just transferred from an advisor to a discount broker. We have a 8% position between two separate RIF accounts . As the risk is the same in a RIF or a TFSA account would it make sense to move this holding to our TFSA accounts with a total 5% holding
as there is no tax in the TFSA accounts? Your overall opinion of of the company please, and if 5% is too high of a holding for this company? Any other recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks MJ

Q: Your PA has recommended reducing my Tech holdings and increasing my US and International allocation. I would like to reduce Tech by about 1/3 and use those proceeds for purchasing VUN and XEF. VUN appears to have about a 20% tech component, so I would need to reduce more than the 1/3 of my current holdings to offset that VUN tech portion. Your recommendations on which equities I should trim/eliminate would be very helpful in trying to sort this out !! Many thanks, as always.

Current Tech % holdings in RSP/TFSA/ UnReg accounts are approx:
ENGH 2.5%
KXS 3.5 %
OTEX 3..5 %
SHOP 3.5%
SYZ 3.8%
PHO 1.3%
and in RIFs - for yield:
AB 3%
ET 1.8%

Q: Hi,

I heard somewhere about an EFT that reflected the S&P 500 Internet technology Index, but I can't seem to find it. Do you know of an EFT like this? Maybe it would be similar to the Nasdaq 100? Not sure...

Thanks,

John
