Q: Good Morning,
As the market gets beaten down yields on some very good companies are becoming difficult to ignore.
With a recession in sight yields could possibly get even better.
I am retired and an income investor sitting on substantial cash.
What would be your preferred course of action at this time?
What companies would be most attractive to you?
Thanks

Q: Hello, I saw that there are seven new CDRs from CIBC: Verizon, McDonald's, Nike, Starbucks, Coca-Cola, United Health, and Cisco. Without going into the CDRs versus buying on American exchanges debate, I am curious to know if some of these stocks are worth buying today, which ones, the reason why and in what order (from most compelling to least)., presumably for a 5-year holding period. Thanks.

Q: The above stocks have declined significantly from 2021 highs. I would like to make 2 or 3 purchases from this list. Please remove any you think are unlikely to resume upwards momentum over next 12 months and show the rest in a priority list for purchase consideration from highest priority to lowest for growth or growth/dividend return. Many thanks. Jane Norton
Q: Hi,
I'm currently holding all of these at a loss, mostly in RSP's - so the loss, if taken, won't be helpful tax wise. I'm aware you are still recommending GSY, but assume that is because at this point it is a reasonably buy. It has been a particular disappointment for me, as I purchased near the recent highs, so I wonder if the remaining capital I have might be better in the energy sector, as I do hold other financials. SNAP and SBUX are looking a bit more like they will take a very long time to show positive momentum - would you agree? Or do you feel it is worth holding onto all of these? I don't need the cash, I'm just wondering if it would be more prudent to stop the day by day reduction in principal, in particular when there are options such as ENB that pay a sizeable dividend in a more positive sector.
Many thanks for your thoughts, as they are always appreciated.

Can we buy Starbucks via the CIBC CDR?
For CDR stocks, would you buy them in RRSP, TFSA or cash account and why?

Q: Hi,
The drops in SBUX, is this a good time to start a position? Obviously the Howard has a lot of experience and is a good capital allocater. If he thinks the company is better served by investments rather than repurchase..that should be a better move. What are your thoughts? Thanks.

Q: Hi,
I am wondering about whether or not replacing stocks sold for a tax loss strategy is prudent, or not. All of the above listed stocks are at a loss in a taxable account. I am looking to offset a large profit that occurred in July when a number of stops were hit. The loss on GSY and SBUX is not terribly large, and so if it is deemed these stand a good chance of rebounding in the early part of 2022, then I may decided to keep them. In selling any of the stocks listed, are their replacements I could purchase that would likely add some growth? The alternative being just wait out the 30 day period and repurchase the strongest of the list. Your thoughts and suggestions would be most appreciated! Thanks for all the great advice over the years! Dawn

Q: Good evening team,
I understand this answer may have been asked but I'm unable to locate your answer. If one was concerned about inflation what would be your sectors of choice to invest in? Additionally, can you kindly mention 5 stocks in both CDN and the US that may potentially help guard against inflation?
Cheers
Seamus
