Investment Q&A

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

Q: For the info of members:

Read in The Motley Fool about the dividend history of the Bank of Nova Scotia. Certainly makes it a must own for the Canadian banking sector.

"I tend to favor companies that increase their dividends annually, like Dividend Aristocrats. We already know that regulators made sure that Canadian banks couldn't claim such a streak, but that doesn't mean Scotiabank doesn't have anything to crow about on the dividend front. For starters, the dividend has been increased in 43 of the last 45 years. And, even more impressive, a dividend has been paid every year since dividend payments started being paid out on July 1, 1833. That date is not a typo. That's a dividend record that is hard to complain about."

Regards,
Ronald

Q: Hello

I finally bought into the thinking that GSY is helpful for some of the Canadian population. I bought shares recently when I thought things were not looking so bad.
GSY investment has given me the experience of a Waterfall/ Falling Knife Chart and it appears to continue to drain away capital value.
Terrible investment for me despite being what I thought to be a decent buy point.

The valuation I know is compelling.........everyone says those useless words.
Does this company have the financial ability to make it through this crashing market?
What is the indicator that makes you believe it to be so?

Thanks

Q: Could you please offer an opinion on two Manulife funds, both managed by Alan Wicks. Both monthly high income funds, one Canadian MMF1040 and one US MMF9927. Not absolutely positive on the ticker numbers, they seem to have so many versions? My wife's advisor has suggested switching her accounts from the Canadian to the US version.

Q: Hello, thinking of selling these stocks for tax loss reasons (10-15%). Although one would think a very possible recession with the related decrease in earnings is already baked in share prices, I am afraid it is not entirely so. I intent to buy these stocks back in a month, hopefully with a lower SP. Is the tradeoff between tax loss and the risk of share prices jumping much higher worth it? Thanks

Q: Portfolio is high quality safer high yield dividend growers. Any like AQN that you would suggest selling and upgrading to another company? Ideally would like to maintain/increase the yield (maybe take advantage of high quality stocks that have been hit harder) without increasing the current risk of the portfolio? Not keen to sell low yielding BEP right now as its down a fair bit but I'm sure better days are ahead.

Current portfolio holdings are:
