Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi there. I'm new to investing, and would love your thoughts.

I've opened up a TFSA and bought shares in CDZ, IT, PHM, SCR and XIC. There is also a mutual fund in the TFSA that I was planning on selling and investing in stocks.

Would love to know what you think of that mix, and if you have suggestions for other investments.

Thanks very much.

Q: I have an account where Intel has grown to over 5% weighting. I also hold Stantec, but its weighting is under 3%.
I am considering selling some Intel to buy some more Stantec to get them both around 4%. Since STN also trades on the NYSE, I thought I would avoid the currency exchange and just purchase it in the US.

Does this seem like a reasonable move?

Thanks.

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
My wife's retirement account is managed to look very similar to the 5i Income Portfolio. Telus has been a holding for quite awhile. She will start taking income from her account within 3 years. Telus grows a bit faster than BCE but the dividend yield is lower. Based upon the above information should I sell her Telus shares and replace them with BCE ??? Thank you. DL

Q: I bought CUS on the run up to the transloading facility. When that didn't work out I held it thinking they would eventually revert just to the original chemical business. It continues to slip a few cents every day. Is it time to sell?

Q: Hey Peter & Team,

To date I have done very well on EFN and yesterday as a prudent measure not ever wanting to be the pig that gets slaughtered took some profit off the table.

Today I noticed the recent financing via Element Financial Corp Sub Receipts (EFN/N) is up almost 9% from $17 - $18.50 on 2.02 million volume while EFN is down 1.22% to $18.57.

Can you help me better understand the relationship between these two issues and what EFN/N increasing from $17 - $18.50 means for us little people.

Thanks for all you do

Gord
