Investment Q&A

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

Q: What etf (or more than one) do you like to cover the broad Canadian market? There are so many, and they are so overweight in financials and resources. I would be most interested in one that has a lot of holdings, but welcome your opinion/advice if you think a smaller holding is more appropriate. This is for a non-registered account, so tax-deductible investment ideas are welcome.

Q: Good Afternoon,

I had a full position in Milestone and today it is being sold. What are your thoughts on BPY.UN for replacement or would you have other names in the multi family residential properties? I know that BPY.un is not in the muti family residential property.

Thanks

Paul

Q: I read your summary back in December on MSL. It was not flattering. As you expected the stock continues to languish. Are there other Companies in this space you would prefer and would you sell MSL (small holding) to buy it?

Q: Shopify is flying even before your top pick recommendation yesterday as it was $55 a month ago and just hit $68. It's on a trajectory that may imply a financing is coming soon. What do you think and how would you compare it's potential to Kinaxis' at today's prices?
Thank you.

Q: I asked this question several hours ago but did not get a response.I don't know if you respond the same day...so I am asking again. I have a non-registered account and would like to buy an eTF that is Canadian in content, to reap possible tax benefits. Can you recommend one that holds many stocks. There are so many - it is really hard to pick the one that holds the most stocks representative of all sectors. Or do you feel an S&P/TSX EFT holding just 60 is the way to go? Thank you.

Q: The only energy producer I currently hold is SU. I'm thinking of adding one more (non-oil sands) company and am considering WCP and CJ. I like CJ because of the larger dividend and the lower Debt/Book. I like WCP because it is a much larger company. I prefer companies with decent dividends and the ability to trade options. Which would you suggest or would you recommend a different company?

Thanks

Q: Signed up tonight after watching BNN. I have reviewed your website and have a question in how to translate this into a successful strategy.

I've gone over your portfolio's and have decided Growth is the profile I will follow.
My TSFA is nearly maxed out and currently all CASH.

Your Dec 31st Growth Model Update shows approx 25 companies with different allocations. Half of these show an NR (Which I assume is New Rating - Initiation)

Would you advise investing primarily in the NR's as a place to start this portfolio and over the coming years sell and buy as suggested? Or would you advise in investing in only those stocks with a grade higher than B+?

Thank you.

I have a 5% position in Tucows that is now up 103%. It pays no dividend and I am shifting my portfolio towards dividend growth stocks and at some point should sell to "harvest" the gain and switch to a dividend stock.
Is this now the time to be selling this stock or does TC have strong growth and future gains ahead?
Thank you........ Paul K
