Investment Q&A

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

Q: A year or so ago 5i wrote in response to a question, "In the Stantec high-quality group we would place Cineplex, Enghouse, Constellation Software, Home Capital, Dollarama, Gildan, IPL, Winpak and Telus." I realize the response wasn't meant to include every high quality stock, but just looking for an update. I like to think Stella Jones SJ would be a good fit. Thank you.

Q: I'm wondering if you could share your opinion on the reported rumblings in the bond markets and the speculation that equity market trouble is sure to follow. The reference is to the U.S. Markets as far as I can tell. Do you think there's a clear and present danger to Canadian equities?
Thanks very much.

Q: Last night on BNN, Barry Schwartz suggested buying banks (TD and NA specifically) and holding them "forever". If memory serves me, Sherry Cooper has previously indicated that most of her retirement savings are in bank stocks as well, figuring that if they get wiped out, we'll all have bigger problems than the stock markets. Recognizing that managements and other things change and forever might not be quite the right time frame, if you were going to buy five or six stocks to hold for a very long time (over 15 years?), what names would you pick today? Would it depend if they were going to be held in a TFSA or an unregistered acount?

Thanks for your help.

Q: I wanted to follow up on your answer to Ron regarding SunLife vs. CI Financial. I'm close to having all of the stocks in the Balanced Portfolio with a few extras from the Growth and Income portfolios that I already owned and don't want to part with yet. I don't have SunLife yet and have been hesitating to buy it. If you prefer CI, why is SunLife in the Balanced Portfolio? Is CI a substitute?

Q: Hello, I am looking to invest in oil outside of Alberta due to the recent uncertainty. Do you have any suggestions? I am looking at Tag oil, it's in a safe jurisdiction (New Zealand) and has a decent cash cushion. Are you comfortable with it at its current price or do you have a better suggestion. I still can't believe we voted in a majority NDP government.

Q: Hi, Can you please provide some details and your comments on this company. The Chairman/CEO is perhaps a past Apple founder/executive and company seems to have a strong technology and a list of some highly reputed customers. This was one of the top picks on BNN on Wednesday and stock jumped almost 15%, Thursday on strong volume. Thanks
