Investment Q&A

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

Q: I’ve held BIP-UN for a long time in my TFSA and RIF accounts and done well with the stock with growth plus a nice dividend. Lately the stock seems to be stuck in the $45.00 range. Looking to divest half position and replace with ALA/KEY or going to more of a growth stock like DFY. Another possibility it to buy more of BN. I currently have half position in both BN and BAM.
If you have any other suggestion I’ll consider that too.
Thanks for all the past help to create a nice balanced account.

Q: Hi, I got in when it was supposedly cheap, at about $12.80. It's now hovering at around $8. As a non-resident, selling for tax losses doesn't apply. As you wrote recently that you're not fans of investing to break even, do you have any opinions on possible moves? Sell some at a loss to invest in better stocks, hold for a while and see what happens with tariffs, hold for a longer period of time as this is a good stock and we'll pay off over the next couple years? Thank you for your time.

Q: According to Grok: “Over the past ten years, the technology sector’s share of the S&P 500 has grown from ~18% to ~32% (or ~40% including tech-related firms), driven by the dominance of mega-cap companies and innovation in AI, cloud computing, and software.”

Do you think BRK has a reasonable prospect of outperforming the SPY given that BRK has a low level of tech exposure. I am concerned that BRK will underperform going forward unless they gain greater exposure to the technology sector.

Thanks.

Q: Here are two stocks that well performed since the last weeks. In view of rebalancing somewhat a portfolio, do you consider it's a good time now to envisage some trimming, or do you think the momentum has a good probability to be continued on the mid term?

Thank you very much in advance

Q: Reliable dividend hunting
I currently hold a variety of solid dividend payers like ENB, PPL, some banks, MSTY - and a few more. With MSTY I have taken on extra risk and counting on the current high monthly dividend to justify that risk.

I am looking to add substantially to these and specifically NLY, JPMO (which shows a yield of 30% on RBC DI, and JPM.PR.O (6%).

Your assessment of the these candidates in light of my objectives to increase dividend income and reduce the growth portions of my portfolios.

Thanks
