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 a conservative, retired, dividend-income investor with the above stocks and ETFs. I also own RBC Cdn Equity Income, Sentry Cdn Income, Sentry REIT, Sprott Energy, Fisgard Capital, Insured Annuities, and receive CPP and a company pension.

I have roughly 5% cash and am normally a buy and hold investor. I am looking to top up the following sectors = Financials, Industrials and Materials. I am already max'd out on the other sectors. Can you please provide me with 3 suggestions of dividend payers (3+% dividend), that would fit with my current holdings, for each of the 3 sectors?

Thanks for your help,
Steve

Q: Hello!

Canopy Growth Corp:
I have read your recent report regarding Cannabis industry which was very encouraging as far as the future if the industry with few reservations namely revenue ramp up period and emergimg market risks. I hold a significant position in Canopy Growth and was wandering about whether the stock has actually bottomed in your opinion, especially given todays sharp drop?

Teck:
What is your opinion on a long position in Teck? The company appears to be trading at a discount.

Apple:
I also hold a significant position in Apple. What are your thoughts in the companys sustainability as far as earnings growth in the next while with addition of the iHome speaker and iPhone 8 release. I am prepared to keep holding onto it. Is this a good strategy in your opinion?

Thanks in advance!

Q: I am looking at buying either ALA or ALA.r in my RRSP.
I have read your analysis on this matter and am not sure I follow it all. The receipts were issued at $31.00 and are redeemable at $31.00 should the deal not go through. They now trade at $ 29.65. If I buy the receipts ,I will collect the " dividend equivalent ". If the deals goes through ( which I think is likely), I will receive new shares.

It seems a "no brainer" to buy the receipts as you have a capital gain if the deal does not go through. The receipts seems to track the stock which seem to offer a buying opportunity.

What do you think? Thanks

Q: Do you have estimated numbers for returns (1-3-5 yr) on your etf model portfolio? Or even better would be calendar year returns back as far as you can go. Much like you have on the equity portfolios.

Looking to have a chat with my advisor about his fees and these numbers would help as me adopting your portfolio is what he needs to beat net of fees. It would be his new benchmark if your returns have been good!

Q: Peter always good to see you on BNN. You mentioned Altagas' dividend being fine as it would be based on cash flow ( please correct me if I'm misquoting) and therefore a decent investment.
Could you respond to this article about Altagas and the author's points?
