Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello, I am looking at making some adjustments to my portfolio over the next few months as I am concerned about the possibility of the next recession perhaps coming by the end of 2019 or early 2020. I would appreciate your recommendations for some defensive stocks which would weather a recession without too big of a drop. I already hold ENB, FTS, BNS and TD which I intend to keep but am looking to replace some of my other stocks with more defensive names.
thanks for your advice.

Q: I already have XBB, TIPS, HFR , would TLT be that much different from XBB other than having the currency exposure. Was thinking of buying TLT for more protection against poor markets or if interests rates stop going up. Could I just add to my XBB position to achieve same results.

Q: Is there a way to buy 30-year US Strip Coupons? They seem like a prudent play on lower interest rates. Any risks? Thank you.

Q: Hi,
My RRSP is currently invested as 19% BCE, 16% BHP, 23% BMO, 13% CTC.A, 16% IPL, and 13% RY. These are all currently in drips and I am looking at long term investment as I won't be needed it for about 25 years.

Thanks,
