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 getting married this year and he and his fiance are planning to purchase a home in the next 2-3 years. He has opened an FHSA acct and invested these funds in a GIC. He also has cash in his RRSP and TFSA accounts that are held at TD Waterhouse Webroker which he wants to use for a down payment on the home as well when the time comes. Could you please give me your top 3 income/savings vehicles and your top 3 dividend stocks (understanding these are riskier) you would recommend he purchase through his TD Waterhouse account in this scenerio.
Many Thanks
Scott

Q: Hi Team,
Having not researched this name myself yet, what is the story behind HPS? It's an old company and looking at a 10yr chart had been flat for years between $5-$10 range. Now since 2021 it went parabolic to $84 today. What changed in its business to justify such a drastic gain? Perhaps I am a bit cynical or cautious; but I am a bit hesitant being told in the past not to invest in names that have gone parabolic so quickly? At least without a significant pullback. Thanks for your insight!

Q: In my mind, AI was a threat to DUOL since I thought it would lower the bar considerably for people to use the open source to create a language conversion program. But I've seen many like 5i and other growth investors really like their runway. It's there any merit to my concern, or is AI in fact increasing their moat or enhancing their first-mover advantage?

Q: Given that you chose 4 Canadian companies in response to my earlier question, as a follow up question, would you kindly pick 4 US stocks that you believe could increase in value by 1000% over the next 10 years. Each must have a current market cap of at least $750M. Please provide a short reason for selecting each stock. Thank you.

Q: Interested in your opinion on Ambev, the Brazilian brewing company (ABEV). If that’s a bit too far afield, what would be your top choice among the larger beverage companies?

Q: I hold BRK.B and SPYV in a non-registered account and so far, BRK has had a much better gain than SPYV. Over the next 5 years, do you think SPYV or BRK.B will have the best total return? Is the high concentration of APPL in BRK.B a concern? Do you know where I can get an accurate list of BRK.Bs holdings?
Thanks!

Q: Overall, I prefer small and mid-cap Canadian stocks for growth and accept the risk that goes with this. Currently, I do not have anything in the tech space and would appreciate if you would suggest a few names.

Thank you,
John

Q: Setting aside currency considerations, which ETF-- VWO.US or ZEM.CA-- is better to hold within an RRSP? (I am asking this question because I know that based upon the different ways that ETFs are structured, some have less losses based on foreign tax rules and considerations.)
