Investment Q&A

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

Q: My son is returning to studies and investing what he earned as buy and hold for 4-5 years. He put two-thirds in balanced mutual funds with Canada, US and International exposure and now wants to invest the remaining one-third in individual Canadian stocks. He has enough for 4-5 names and already invested in Enbridge. What would you suggest as solid names for the remaining four given his time frame? Thanks.

Q: Hi, CCMP Capital Advisors, the major shareholder and the initial private equity investor group is divesting its full shareholding (13 mln shares +15% over allotment, if exercised ) through a secondary offering for $18.50 a share. Does this move reflect on the future prospects of Jamieson? Are there any the major shareholders/insiders, after this sale? What is your current opinion on this company ? After watching the share price do well, since the initial offering in July, I bought a position yesterday at the open. Thanks for your insight.

Q: Are there tax implications with holding HXS in a TFSA given that the dividends are not distributed? I have no US holdings, and in my (latish) retirement, I've decided I could use some US exposure. Would it be a suitable single ETF to hold? I could hold it in my non registered account if that would be better, or if you can suggest another suitable ETF that could go in the TFSA, that'd be great. Many thanks.

Q: Inflation is low and BOC rates are still at very low rates - money is cheap to get. IMHO the only place to make money is in the stock market, but seniors want low risk and for many decades placed money in high yielding low risk investments - GICs. Recently I applied for and received a 5 year closed mortgage at 2.49%, which means rates will stay low for at least five years. Our population is aging and that segment of investors like low risk, which leads to lower returns.

My question, when do you think or believe interest rates will rise to a new normal and therefore the stock market will see a competition for money from seniors? Therefore, by default lower returns in the stock market.

As always thanks for your comments.
