Q: Two questions: I’ve recently intiated a half position in GSY and hold full positions in TD and BNS. I’m wondering what your take is on the implications for these companies as the new rules for mortgages takes effect Jan 1. Would it be prudent to scale back my bank holdings somewhat and increase my position in alternative lenders? Would you recommend a full position in GSY at this point as some borrowers may have to make a move away from the big banks? I accept GSY is riskier and the government could impact the alternative lending space with regulations.
A second related question, Cannacord is forcasting an 8% decline in mortgage lending for 2018. Your take on the impact for TD and BNS please.

Q: hi
regarding New Flyer it has been labelled a cyclical stock in the past. What cycle does that refer to? Is it the business cycle and the fact that there will eventually be a downturn or something to do with how the year plays out for them as I notice the stock seems to appreciate more in the first four months of the year?
thanks
Joe

Q: Where can I find the historical price/earning multiple for a sector like food retailers or a specific company?

Q: Hello Peter
As a recent new member, I am both impressed and a little overwhelmed with all the information. I started making a lists of potential companies to invest with, but decided to cut to the chase and just ask you....I am looking for your recommendation for both income and growth companies.... perhaps 4 or 5 of each. I am fully invested in TD, which has done well for me this last year, as well as a couple energy stocks.... Spartan and Ring. I am retired but have a steady income flow with pensions and dividends from an ongoing business. Thank you for offering such a great service and look forward to a bright and lucrative future. Brian

Q: I purchased REAL on the IPO. I'm down 32% since then. Would you recommend purchasing more to average down my cost base or sell that holding? What is the future outlook for Real is my question.

Q: With respect to the "Amazon Effect" on some Computer Staples names such as Loblaws, can you provide your opinion on the impact on: Empire (EMP.A) or Alimentation Couch Tard (ATD.B) for the long term.

Q: Thoughts on HOT.UN? TD says its currently at an attractive entry point with buy rating. I currently have no REIT's in my portfolio. Is this stock subject to the 15% withholding tax because its paid in USD? If you don't like this stock, any alternatives?

Q: Morning Peter, at this time would you buy any of these for an otherwise well balanced RESP ? GUD and PHO already owned.
Thanks.

Q: YGR is seemingly highly rated and has been up more than 200% this year already. Is it still a buy at this level (closed at $4.79 on Friday)? Energy stocks could be back in vogue and with every sector almost already fully priced, it may be their turn.

I have dedicated about 5% of my total capital for very short term (say, no more than a month) high risk investments. Right now I am holding ENB in this slot ( a result of my recent bottom fishing) and I would like to flip it for something else before the Enbridge media day in December. Just in case Enbridge may say something untoward and jeopardizes its pledged dividend increases, or lower its guidance for 2018. After all this company had missed its earning targets for about six quarters. I could lose my modest ENB gain so far, and perhaps more.

Would YGR be a better choice for a bigger short term gain than ENB? Thanks for your take on this idea.
