Q: I have 30000 to reinvest in a RRIF account.
I’m well diversified but wondering if I should put it all into RTX, JPM or half into each. This amount represents about 5 percent of my portfolio. Thanks.
If you have to chose 1 or 2 with the highest conviction of potential upside, which would you chose? And at what price would you be comfortable starting a long term position?
Q: Peter's comments about RRSPs and RIFs are from an individual taxpayers prospective. If we look at the design and take a country wide perspective it is much different. If we assume the money put into an RRSP and the tax refund earns a return of x% and we can assume the money goes in a Y% tax rate and is taken out of the RRSP/RIF at a Z% tax rate, the end result is that the money is the RRSP/RIF is totally tax FREE as the tax is balanced by the earnings on the tax refund. It does not matter what X, Y and Z are. Note that this is looking at the country as a whole. Some will earn more X and some less but the average of the whole country will be X and the average tax rates will be Y and Z and some will chose to spend their tax refund but eventually the money will end up with someone who invests it. So the entire RRSP program is essentially tax free money for the economy over the programs' life. I've done the numbers back and forth and it always turns out the same way. So if you save the tax refund, invest it, pay tax on it, it will eventually pay the tax on your RRSP withdrawals, "on average".

Q: Wanting to diversify my bank stocks heavy cash account into more growth opportunities over the last couple of years , I have added BN, LMN, GSY ( and have done well , thanks ).
I have followed FSV and TFI for years , never buying. Basically , both were too expensive in my eyes. However I now see FSV as an asset light company with blowout earnings and TFI a company with strong management caught in a cyclical downturn. Which would be your next purchase and why ? Thanks. Derek
I looked back and the last question on this company was late May. As we come to the close of July, the "noise" on this company seems to be picking up, with a fair number of "experts" in the various media suggesting it is one to hold onto as the purchase of Discover evolves and Capital One starts taking advantage of the synergies. The noise being generated is enough to get me curious.
I would appreciate your opinion on this company as a buy at current prices, with the idea of holding in an RRSP and switching out of one of my Canadian Financials in an effort to diversify. If not a buy now, is there a price where it is, or is this company one to stay back from?
