Investment Q&A

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

Q: I manage my daughter's investments and will be selling a mutual fund (RBF1018) and plan to purchase XIT, as her asset allocation is light on technology.

86% of XIT is made up of SHOP, GIB.A, CSU, OTEX. P/B = 5.3 and P/E = 35.2. Technology has had quite a run this year...the chart looks parabolic and might possibly be forming a double top. I heard years ago that after a big run, stocks may settle back roughly 1/3 of the recent gain. This would put the "settle" price to be around $25.

I know this is the same as market timing. OR....just buy it now. Your thoughts?

Thanks...Steve

Q: Hi, you mentioned in a reply to a question today that Huskey previously cut their dividend. Did they reduce the dividend or completely eliminate it and did it extend to the preferred shares or just the common? Thanks.

Q: I recently submitted a question asking what "sector" Costco and Disney were in "according to your sectors". You advised that Disney was Consumer Discretionary and Costco was Consumer Staples.
You do not have these sectors in your listings. You have Consumer Cyclicals and Consumer Non-Cyclicals. I am assuming it is one of these - could you please advise. I am aware that sectors have more than 1 description name but I am trying to keep to the sector names you have on your Summary List.
Thank you so much,
Margaret

Q: Not a question but an observation. Read article in WSJ yesterday that USA going to pass a bill banning Chinese rail and electric bus companies from operating/ manufacturing in the states. A Chinese owned electric bus company manufacturing plant in the “the rust belt” will close. ( Probably could be bought at good price).

Market for electric buses expected to grow from $745 million in 2018 to $1.95 billon in 2024.

Someone with patience will do well with NFI.

Q: As a dividend investor, I read with great interest the article by Peter and Moez in the November/December issue of Canadian Moneysaver, titled 'Does High Yield Really Mean Higher Risk? YES, YES, YES!'. Some compelling long-term return data showing returns of equities stratified by dividend yield were presented in the paper. Were the data based on all constituents of the TSX index? TSX 60? Something else? Would you be able to provide similar data for the S&P 500 and world indices as well (only return data would be great, I'm less interested in the other tables)? Thank you.

Q: I own SYK. My broker has suggested switching it to MDT or TMO.
They all seem pretty much the same to me. What say you?
