Q: Hi Guys
My 19 year old son has the max to contribute to a TFSA. What would suggest for him to get started as an investment. He has a self directed trading account with zero in it.
Q: Can you provide an opinion on Elements (EFN) purchase of PHH Arval. As well, would you recommend purchasing any of the new issues associated with this purchase. I notice that the 6.4% 5 year rate reset issue is not sold out yet at TD. Can you provide your comments to this as well. Thank you.
Q: This is just a comment.... I think you should have a button that says "make a donation" so that those of use that feel we would like to buy you a beer could just press it and send you a donation of x number of dollars. You have helped me so much in just a few months that I would like to just send a couple of bucks your way. I know you don't need it but it would be nice to say thanks in a concert way.
Q: What type of PE can u value DAP.U at concerning the torrid 65 percent growth trend the company has been on top and bottom line yoy. Also taking their latest quarter into consideration.
Q: I was stunned to see that Sun Life tops a list of Corporate Canada's mountains of cash - a recent Globe and Mail piece - with $6 bb. Could you speculate what they might do with it? Hopefully not purchase a US mutual fund like Great West did with Putnam! On the subject of lifeco's I stumbled across an ad for a class action lawsuit with Manulife, the stock that was touted to be as safe as houses. If you purchased shares between 2004 and 2009 - which I did - you should register here http://www.classaction.ca. It's free to join.
Q: Why is GOOGL dropping today? Is it because of AAPL? I have heard conflicting views on owning GOOG and GOOGL. GOOG is cheaper and a few votes do not make a difference. GOOG is a stock that will be used to fund acquisitions so it will be diluted? Thanks.
MVN (Madalena) has been under a trading halt since it announced its agreement to purchase Gran Tierra Energy. Could you please comment on the announcement and future prospects of MVN?
Couche-Tard (ATD.B): the last post re ATD.B was end Apr, and your team spoke highly of it. That was pre-split. Has there been any material change in the corp to explain the decline over the past month (I could not find any news reports)? Ack the pending change of CEO, and perhaps it is simply a breather, providing a sale price in the process?
Thanks in advance. Bob
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.
Q: Since I already owned SVY Savannah when Eric Nuttall had it as one of his top picks, I bought more. I think I have the wrong driller, all the others seem to be moving up. In order of best of breed should I switch out of Savannah and go for PHX, WES, CDI, XDC, AKT.A, TCW, PD or FRC. Could you please rank for me. Thanks for everything.
