Investment Q&A

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

Q: My portfolio lacks a serious commitment to technology although it is reasonably well balanced across the remaining sectors emphasizing a conservative income approach. To address the tech sector, I thought I would start easy, as it were, by investing in either ZQQ or XQQ. For an investor in his mid seventies, with a low comfort level in most things tech, that would appear to me to be the way to go. Appreciate your view.
Thank you.

Q: Regarding MAXR, I've held it for a bit, down about 8%. Based on the upcoming earnings announcement, I may move on. What would you recommend as a replacement with a better growth profile? Should be a dividend payer. I'm looking for something in the industrial, healthcare, consumer (staples) or real estate sector.

Thank you for the excellent service.

Q: Haven't heard much about HSE since 2017 as far as questions go and now with the increase in dividend and low debt would you consider it a good time to get into? I have a love hate relationship with Enbridge but do hold their stock but feel I could use more in that sector. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Q: I was trying to find a question about this but without success. This is such an expensive stock and I know you like and it has done well. I wonder why they would not do a split to make the stock more affordable? I notice also that you do not have it any of your sample portfolios - is this why?
Thank you

Q: Lithium Americas Corp
The share price has basically dropped by approximately 50% YTD. With such a decline in the share price over the past several months, I would like to know what your opinions are on the reasons for such a decline? Do you consider it still a good investment or are there other companies that would be a better investment. What potential do you see coming out of their 50% interest in Minera Exar and the developing of the Cauchari-Ocaroz lithium project in Jujuy Argentina.

Q: Peter and team:

I initiated a speculative position in TV when you brought it to members attention a while ago. I am now down 50 %. What are your current thoughts on the zinc market over the next year or so. Would you continue to hold or cut losses now.
Interesting to note TECK.B has been doing OK as of late. I suppose that is because in addition to zinc they are a much more diversified mining company.

Thanks as always for you terrific site.
