Investment Q&A

Q: Good Morning, my question is regarding the reclassification of the telecommunication sector and technology sector. What is your opinion on how reclassification will effect the stocks mentioned above. I have read that these stocks will be negatively effected due to repositioning of holdings within funds. Thank you.

Q: Hi,
Could you get your crystal ball out to help with this decision. I bought facebook on the dip at $159. Now its bouncing around $190. For a two month return thats pretty great. Do you think its a good value "forever" type stock because of their user numbers? Or do you think its looking like a good time to move that money into something else offering greater upside? Im not into chasing gains and moving money around alot, I prefer value investing. However, since its hovering around its highest high is it likely to slow down to maybe just a few percent growth per year? Its growth has been very consistent since the end of 2012, but if that was to slow down and not offer a dividend it would lose some attractiveness for sure. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Q: Should I be worried about this latest Facebook data concern as a shareholder?

Q: Looking to add a couple of different stocks to my TFSA. Based on your article in the FP, thinking of these as possibilities, but I have 28% in my IT already. I have 11% to invest after having sold TOY and ATD.B.

Q: Which FAANG stock(s) would be most attractive today for long-term growth? I plan to hold longer than Trump will be President.

Q: What do you think about Facebook? Would you be a buyer if it keeps dropping?

Q: I'm down about 12% on FB. I still like the company fundamentally but it keeps dropping and it seems like every negative announcement makes it drop another 3 to 5%. Do you think I should get out? My concern is that even the company is financially strong the negative momentum and news will just drive it down to where its a huge up hill battle for me to get back what I've lost. Do you think this will drag on for years? Would a good q1 be able to turn things around or is the negative publicity too much? Thanks

Q: Buy Sell or Hold? Thank you, Gerry

Q: I have a small amount of exposure to Facebook through BST and TDB422, but otherwise do not own the stock directly. Do you think that this dip would be a good time to buy? Is there value in the stock at $165.00, to an investor not over-exposed to the sector.

Thank you!

Q: Facebook is down over 3% in premarket trading. I have done very well on this stock. It is approximately 3.5% of my portfolio. Time to lighten up. Your comments would be appreciated. Thanks

Q: Hello would a small position in this Chinese tech company be okay to hold in a TFSA for a long term hold? The WeChat ap that they have is pretty amazing and I read they are now able to sell financial products to their client base that is bigger than Facebooks. thanks

Q: Hi 5i: I'm still on my quest to reduce the number of stocks in my RIF in the most defensive way possible. In my IT sector I hold:
AIF (or is that in Real Estate?); GIB.A; KXS;
FB; GOOG; RYT (ETF).
Could you suggest the best way to reduce this to 3, say? Any suggestions on how to proceed given the current sell-off? Thanks Roland

Q: Hello,

I realize that you don’t focus on the US market but I have cash to deploy and would appreciate your opinion.
I am looking for 4-5 stocks regardless of sector to buy into this market dip. What would you suggest?

Thank you!

Q: What is the Q1 consensus for FB's revenue and eps?

Q: I've held this stock through two seemingly disappointing quarters , and am now down 13%. Do you still have faith in this company? It's lagging the sector big time. Was thinking of putting the money into Facebook on the dip with the proceeds. Please advise
Thank you
