Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am considering taking positions in both of the above companies. Is there any redundancy in this proposal, i.e., would bip.un assets cover what bep.un owns and beyond.

Thanks

David

Q: I see the suggestion of going to gold for safety in this market. Do your mean buying gold pieces at Costco or other means? I need some recommendations on how to enter the market and take the least amount of risk.

Q: The other day you told someone not to continue a mistake if they realize they’ve made a mistake. The person went short and then the market had an up day. I think that was great advice. One of my biggest investing mistakes has been to double down on a losing hand. I think it’s a gamblers mentality. I just wanted to share this feedback. Thanks and please feel free to post my comment!

Q: Hello
Can PHYS, GLCC, GDXY and XGD be held in TFSA/RRSP accounts?
Is this collection a good mix?
Would AMAX be a better option than some of the aforementioned and if so, which would you replace with AMAX / drop completely.
Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Do news stories like this affect the stock price of either the plaintiff or the defendant?

“Quebecor Inc.-subsidiary Videotron is suing Rogers Communications Inc. for $91 million over an alleged breach of contract related to the sale of Freedom Mobile two years ago.”

We have a small holding in QBR.B and although it’s slightly down in price compared to when we bought it, it certainly is holding up better than our large holding in BCE (down almost 50%, not including dividends), but BCE is an issue for another question!

Thanks for the great help you’ve supplied over the years.

Q: With energy stocks lower due to this trade war, would this be a good time to look at getting into this sector assuming it would be through an energy ETF? If so, do you have a few names that trade in Canada that provide a decent return, and some safety through a lower payout ratio? Thanks for your insight.

Q: Hi 5i
"This time is different". With King Chump flying by the seat of his pants and his band of nutbars supporting his every insane move, is this time different? The US used to have checks and balances but it appears these have all been removed, allowing King DJT to do whatever crazy thing pops into his head (or appears in his social media feed). With his history of bankruptcies I worry that he is crazy enough to 'fix' their debt problems by defaulting. I'm not sure he understands the implications of this and who would stop him?

Q: I would like 3-4 ideas for investment to be held in cash account. I don't need the money unless an emergency and was thinking of parking in a few solid pref shares perhaps to pick up a decent tax efficient yield but open to alternatives.

Q: Hi 5i, a while back you guys produced an excellent blog/market update where you discussed recessions/bear markets, their duration and severity, and the multi year returns thereafter. Could you provide the link to that update? Thx.
