Investment Q&A

Q: Do you see value in CL and KMB at this time as stocks and as somewhat safe harbours in volatile times? Do you have a preference between the two?
Thank you for your advice.

Q: The removal of the 2 major overhangs,at least for the short term--The Fed is now data dependent & close to neutral rate.2)US/Sino 90day truce for 90days(though US & Chinese versions differ in a lots of way)-- are very positive for the markets.resulting in big increases.even in oil price tonight.Other favourable factors are indication that Russia & S Arabia may cut oil production @ next OPEC meeting ,later this month & 2) normal y/e rally(historical data shows 70% rally in Dec)A question is,will the FAANG recover from bear territory? In view of the above,this appears time to buy.If so.please provide the best names from u 3 portfolios.Thanks for u usual great services & views

Q: I just read a press release that Siyata Mobile put out today announcing they have entered the Australia / New Zealand market. As of now it appears they have formed relationships with the major Telco's in Canada Israel , United States and now Australia and New Zealand. Everything I have read about this Company especially in the last 6 months gives me the impression that 2019 could be a Huge Year for Siyata Mobile. My question is , do you agree and if so what type of price target do you think they may achieve within 1 year ?

Q: I was thinking about selling Tourmaline to buy Torq to trigger a capital loss while maintaining sector exposure. What do you think? Would you have any alternative suggestions for TOG (other than VET, which I already hold)? Thanks so much.

Q: Bought some CGX as the momentum looked good before their last earnings. However after their earnings the stock sold off hard. Wondering if it’s worth holding on or move to SIS , KXS or PBH. As there is opportunity cost holding on to it. Don’t care about dividend looking for growth.

Q: TCL.A is near its 52 week low. My average cost base is $18.88. I am considering purchasing more shares because my portfolio is under-weighted in industrial stock. Would you recommend buying TCL now or would you recommend waiting till after 13 December when the fiscal 2018 results are released? Can you recommend an industrial stock other than TCL that yields 4% or more?

Q: What is your current view on AP.UN. thanks

Q: Moving your money from Regular acct to TFSAs

I am at a quandary as the market starts to lurge from the grave on a strategy moving capital from my regular account to my tfsa.

I'm letting my energy stocks ride ( i know i know, it's madness, but there's so little left there).

My real question is between my so so stocks which have regained and and are showing signs of going positive, down 30% to 3% and my winners in tech which some have done very well while some are plodding along. I'm thinking of moving one of more successful ones like SHOP AMZN ADBE or would GOOG MFST ( a recent buy) be a better choice.

I suppose the question I'm asking is more of a strategy first question rather than a specific stock. I feel no real need to buy something new, so is shifting one of my winners to the TFSA sound?

Any insight would be helpful. Deduct what is necessary.

Q: Good morning,

AQN buying 331 million of nat gas assets from Enbridge. I own both. Does this favour one or the other and is it a large enough transaction to move either company?

THanks

Q: Larry Berman likes this pick for the 8% yield and the “explosion” of pipelines in the US. Do you have an opinion and would it be appropriate for an RRSP?

Q: Which company would be your preference as a buy and hold investment in an RRSP account? I'm more interested in capital growth over dividend growth.

Thanks

Q: Can you provide me a list of several dividend stocks that are relatively recession-proof but still have decent yield and potential for long-term growth? I'd like to start investing a bit in dividend stocks a bit each month but am wary of the financial uncertainty that is hovering over us right now.

Q: Could you comment on Carrick's article about the Connolly report. The prospects for CNR ( I always chicken out on CNR and then it goes higher). Are there similar strategies that appear to predict long term growth that you like ? And perhaps another name you like ?

Thanks for all yoru support,
Mark

Q: I am aware that these companies have high debt levels. However, would you view any one of them investable? Or would there be similar companies with better growth prospects?
Thanks for your input!

Q: Aside from JNJ, my US portfolio has no healthcare/biotech stocks. How would you assess these two companies?
Thank you, Team!

P.S. The BNN presentation was very informative!

Q: Hi, I used a screener to look at companies that have had a hard down in the last 6 months, as well as a positive uptick in the last 10 days. I have found two in the subject line above. I also want a small dividend at least and both above are sufficient. I think both AIF and NFI missed last quarter, and they are expected to grow, however, it appears that AIF's growth into 2019 is significantly more (according to scotia) than NFI. I do know NFI has been a darling and this can be a good time to get in. Can you give me your opinion on both in contrast and consider which one you would add to a portfolio now for longer term. No need to consider any of my other holdings. Thanks.

Q: I need to pick up a stock with good yield, while this stock would not giving that yield back via share price losses.

The two names I been looking at are DIV (showing some strong TA indicators of late) and CWX (considerable insider buying recently). In your view which one would you prefer? Again my key issue is which one is less likely to slide back in share prices and provides a safer dividend? Thanks.

Q: What is your view about these companies after recent earnings. GOOD and MBA in particular had very good results. Please provide but the share prices did not budge and actually went down. Please provide buy sell or hold opinions on these companies. Thanks

Q: I’m confused why short seller analysts are allowed to manipulate stock prices for their own benefit. What’s the difference between an influential short seller shorting a stock and than manipulating the price with a bad report and a ceo buying or selling stock before an earnings report?

Q: with all the energy trouble in alberta, is it time to sell or hold D.un thanks jim
