Investment Q&A

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

Q: Would you sell USB.us if you held it and replace it with Goldman Sachs GS.us instead? OR would you keep USB (assuming your allocation allowed) and simply ADD Goldman? I’d appreciate some SUBSTANTIVE reasoning , would really apreciate that. Many thanks.

(PS: I reviewed your previous comments on Goldman Sachs and was baffled by your responses. Goldman a target for takeover given anti-trust rules & regs? And: Goldman I could not see where made the acquisitionist you referred to; nor does Goldman pay the dividend amounts you mentioned. Nevertheless , I defer to your expertise)
I have a question about 854

Q: Given the attack by Trump on financial regulation in the US, do you think it is a good time to add companies like goldman sacs and wells fargo or perhaps Jpm to my portfolio. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i Team!
GS has dropped below its 52 week high and is off its 52 week high by more than 25%. Is there any fundamental reason for this?
The dividend is good, is raised regularly and it also pays special dividends.
My wild guess is that there was takeover speculation that hasn't panned out but I thought that was an old story.
Any information and advice on whether to buy, sell or hold would be appreciated. My entry price was $22.50 (TFSA acct). Thanks!

Q: Peter et al,
I bought Gluskin Sheff at $20.37 and it has risen approx 50%. Fabrice Taylor on BNN last week suggested to always take a profit when you can, but I think it deserves more consideration than that. What do you think its prospects are? Would a move to another financial e.g Cannacord CF be advisable? I already have Alaris, Element, Counsel, & Fiera. Also Davis & Henderson if it is considered a financial. They make up 23% of my portfolio. Thanks in advance for your advice.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
I recently purchased more shares of GS for my husbands RRSP during it's recent pullback at $28.46 as all the research I have done indicates that it is a good stable company with good growth, dividend and the potential for additonal special dividends or take. I was pleasantly surprised to see the bounce it today to $31.66 on the reported news that they were acquring another firm. I would like your opinion on this acquisition and would you continue to hold this stock? I know you like to hold for the long term but a 11% return in 11 days is tempting unless you see further upside.
Thanks for all the sound advice you provide.
