Investment Q&A

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

Q: Both of us retired in our mid 80s, the market has been good for us, so far. We are looking for investment that will preserve our capital, and give us some income, perhaps little capital growth or the least amount of damage in case of interest rate increases. Would segregated founds or JICs, be the right area to look to?
We would greatly appreciate your suggestions, it's been very useful in the past. Regards, J A P, Burlington

Q: Kudos to your new website, it’s very user friendly and a good tool for the small DIY investor!
My inquiry is on a Canadian Healthcare ETF (HHL) which I find interesting in that it includes US companies such as Novartis, Stryker, Medtronic, Johnson & Johnson and Anthem in the top 10 holdings, indicated dividend is north of 8.00%!
Also, if one is to hold it in a TFSA would the dividends be subject to the 15% foreign withholding tax?
Thnx for your great service!!

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan & Crew,
Is there an ETF in Canada that covers Tech companies in the US, and another one for Health Care also.

Q: I hear Cormark Securities started research coverage on Sangoma Technologies today with a Buy $1.50 target. Beacon Securities already covers the Company with a Buy $1.55 target. Do you think the addition of Cormark will get more attention to the stock given the stellar results and a very cheap current stock valuation? In other words does 2 analysts make a difference now?

Q: Peter & co., greetings,

Respected studies show that most investors, pros included, cannot beat a broad market index. Adjusted for inflation, the Toronto Stock Exchange composite index lost money over the last decade while the S&P500 composite index more than doubled.

Why would future returns be much different? Wouldn't investors be better off holding the S&P500 index via say, VOO or SPY or QQQ and sitting in their rocking chairs?

And more questions - what can I do when I run out of my 24 questions? Are you considering a way of allowing subscribers to ask more than 24 questions (for a fee, of course)?

Thank you for your good work.

Q: Hi guys, I'm looking at your response to 'who's likely to suffer when NAFTA gets torn up' (which seems increasingly likely)... I have held these for a long time and been VERY happy with all of them, but is it time to trim them down? Do you think the NAFTA threat is sufficiently priced in? I'd love to get your thoughts on each one. Thanks! PS -- you can ding me for 5 questions :-)

Q: I am looking at selling CVE for the tax-loss. Would PEY be a suitable replacement, or would you stay away from it? Any better ideas?
