Investment Q&A

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

Q: With your help from May2017 to now I am up 132%. Love your advice but tend to think it's aimed at young and middle aged people, which is probably most of your readers.
I am 71 and have Shopify which has done well for as have KL, Real and Brookfields to name a few. Have some cash and was wondering if you could give me some growth , yes I know the risk, that won't take 10 years to see action on.

Q: According to a TD Waterhouse report issued on Nov 10th, the valuation of BIP.UN using forward P/FFO looks very attractive over the next two years in comparison to 2020:
2020E 16.1x, 2021E 13.7x, 2022E 12.5x
As long as it can maintain it's current multiple over the same period I should be able to experience capital appreciation.
How much confidence should I have in these forecasts? Do these forecasts seem reasonable for the stock?
Thank-you.

Q: Hi team,

With 22 tech stocks weighting some 34% of my portfolio, I assume you would recommend that I rationalize my approach for a better diversification, both in my tech sector and in my portfolio as a whole.

To accomplish that, while keeping a strong growth approach, could you indicate which are, in your view, 1) the « must own » stocks, in order of importance 2) those which could be dropped because of « double emploi » or high risk, 3) those missing to properly cover the tech sector ?

Please feel free to use as many credits as you see fit.

Gratefully yours,

Jacques IDS

Thanks for the great information.

I am looking to add a couple of names to my portfolio in the consumer cyclical and consumer discretionary sectors. Can you provide me with 4 names in each that you feel have strong balance sheets going forward, and are currently undervalued in your opinion.

Thank you,

Q: My wife has 75% of her portfolio in laddered GICs and I am looking for a one-stop solution for the remaining 25%. Would XTR be a reasonable substitute for any of the major balanced ETFs such as VBAL, XBAL, ZBAL, or HBAL or would you recommend one of the latter? XTR pays a significantly higher dividend and appears to possess a similar structure, although not quite as globally diversified on the equity side. Your opinion please. Thanks.
