Q: Hello Peter,
Can you help me choose between the two for an industrial sector addition? Both are hitting 52 week highs and am wondering if I should wait to see if they revert to the mean along moving averages.
Thanks in advance for your recommendation
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Hi : I recently sold my TD shares, I do not think there is anything wrong with TD, but I noticed that some stocks like TD are above the value they had before the pandemics hit. Noticed that beta for TD is 0.86. It is hard to believe that the economy is in better shape today than before the pandemics. I see quite a number of empty stores at my local mall. BCE has a beta of 0.31 with a good yield and a low price/cash flow ratio. Would you agree that BCE is safer than TD if the market has a correction ?, I am retired and safety and income are more important than growth . I have no exposure to telecoms now, and still some small exposure to banks through BNS. If BCE is not super safe , could you suggest another one ?

Q: Of the companies listed, which one would you start a new half position in today for a potential 5 plus year hold in a balanced portfolio. And would any in particular benefit from reopening? I understand that I would need to keep on eye on the cyclicals with a view to exiting if needed.

Q: The company has made a series of US acquisitions in the past 2 years which have attracted the attention of US investment community and it now lists on the NYSE. Comparable companies in the US trade at p/es of 20 while CI trades at under 7. I realize that p/e is only one measure of value but I would think that if the acquisitions prove successful then the company's shares may be re-rated to a higher multiple. In the meantime it pays a dividend of just under 4%.
