Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am doing a little cleanup of my losing positions. I have small "leftover" of BDI, HNL, AIM and PD which all seems to be dead money right now but I wonder if one of these companies could bounce back (BDI for exemple is trading at 0.3x book value) ?

Can you suggest a couple of good companies to replace these losers?

Thanks again for your good advice and use as many credits as needed!

Q: I recently heard an investment advisor outline the importance of diversifying beyond “public” equity and also invest in “private” equity (he was quoting the huge amount of private equity that public pension plans typically hold). Do you agree with this thesis and do you have any suggestions on how a retail investor could invest in private equity? Would buying a company like Onex be a good way to gain exposure to private equity?

Q: Although I know you do not cover US companies, I was wondering about your take on JNJ. Especially given recent lawsuit activity with regard to their baby talcum powder and ovarian cancer, and possible upcoming class action lawsuit with regard to same. I know of at least one advisor recommending a sell due to this issue, but I am puzzled as there has been no negative reaction to the stock price so far. Your thoughts? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter, Would you advise on to buying more of BNS/TD ( recent strength) or pick up BMO instead to take advantage of its price as it lagged recently ( Yield @4%). I am more inclined towards BMO as they perform similarly over the longer term. Please advise.
Thanks.

Q: Hi Team,
I own Shopify and Knight as my two main growth holdings. SHOP has blown the doors off and I am willing to be patient with GUD. As a possible re-balancing move, I am considering trimming SHOP and looking for a third growth company. I know you've suggested several alternatives in the Q&A before, but I am looking for a similarly high-quality selection. I already own OTEX and want to avoid the energy sector. Can you please name the top three Canadian growth stocks that you would suggest for further consideration as long-term holds that are not on the Venture exchange? Perhaps Kinaxis as one? Many thanks, Michael

Q: Hi. I have a question about Altagas. When the company converts the receipts to common shares next year, investors will only benefit if ALA is higher than what a person paid for ALA.R. Recently, I found the common share price has been drifting lower and lower than the receipt. At this point, what's the benefit of buying ALA.R? Currently, ALA common shares receive a higher dividend %. I'm thinking to buy ALA or ALA.R for income. Which one should I choose, or are there any others that you would recommend? Thanks for your guidance. Have a great day.
