Investment Q&A

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

Q: I sold T in December for a tax loss, hoping to buy it back however the stock has risen by 7-8 % since, so would lose on the exchange.
I have since been looking at HME and was considering replacing T with HME in an income account. I would take a little hit on the yield however I think it would be a safer holding re-dividend safety and possibly a better growth profile.

Your comments please on this approach.
Thanks
Jeff

Q: I'm having difficulty deciding which of the listed losers I should dump and move on. I find it easier purchasing equities than selling them. Which one of the 3 (or more) would you ditch and what is your rationale?
On a side note, I'm a 30+ year long hard core self directed investor and appreciate the service you offer.

All the best-Dave from Montreal.

Q: Good evening,


1) I feel that the materials sector will do well in 2026, do you agree?

2) If yes, which of the above etf's do you think would do the best given market conditions, their holdings, etc?

Do you have any individual stocks you would recommend in the materials sector that you think would outperform the etf's?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Q: I have an incorporated business investment account. There will be no new money coming in and I will not need the money for five to ten years. Currently, I have roughly 5% in each of CSU, SVI, WSP, MELI, and TSLA, and 10% in ZSP. The remainder is split between EIT and FIE, whose distributions are primarily capital gains and eligible dividends. Would you have some suggestions on how to tweak the portfolio? Thanks.

Q: Today I received an email called Chart Attack.

Of course I've recieved them before but never made good use of them

I'm sure a lot of work has gone into it by 5i and was just wondering how would you suggest your subscribers use these to influence/improve their investment decisions.

Thanks

Q: My daughter is starting her TFSA. I have suggested a couch potato strategy to start - can you recommend a good all in one ETF that rebalances and any suggestions for 1-2 buy and hold Canadian stocks if she wants to try that out too.
