Investment Q&A

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

Q: Could I get your opinion on the potential for VIGI. I am looking for safety with modest growth in my RIF. Is it dependent on Brexit or mainly just the European economy? I also hold MAW102 and VIG which have both performed better than VIGI. I have considered selling VIGI and investing the proceeds 50/50 in the other two. Comment and suggestions appreciated

Q: Recently, I have invested, albeit cautiously,in this compounding financial ETF. These types of ETFs don’t seem to be covered, but it would be of interest to have your assessment.
Thank you, Team!

Q: I understand that the Alberta governments decision to restrict oil production has had the desired impact of increasing the price of Canadian heavy crude but in turn has had the unexpected impact of making shipping oil by rail uneconomical. - volumes being shipped are down dramatically in the past few weeks. What portion of CNR earnings relate to oil shipments? Do you think that this will materially affect CNR Q1 earnings, and if so, is that already reflected in the current share price?

Q: First I want to just thank-you for making me a better investor not just with your recommendations but with your approach. Covalon has. in Appendix B of their annual statement included the notice of the change of auditors. The 'resignation' of BDO is, as it turns out, at the request of Covalon. We are also informed (elsewhere) that there will be no vote on the financial statement. I have gone through about as many of their recent Sedar filings as I can take and perhaps I am reaching here, but is this normal practice to you? Any red flags?

Q: In my portfolio I have following Canadian equities: AQN (4.9%), BCE (4.78%), BNS (4.64%), WXM (4.5%), SIS (3.8%), BEP (2.68%), MG (2.29%), KXS (2.03%), PBH (1.94%), MX (1.92%), COV (1.87%), TSGI (1.76%).

I have a full positions worth of cash I would like to add to my Canadian content and was wondering on your thoughts as to adding to one new stock (ATD.B, WSP, CCL.B, other suggestion), 2 half positions, or adding to my existing positions.

I have a 20 year time frame and comfortable with some risk.
Thank you.
