Q: Hi,

I'm interested in allocating a small percentage of my portfolio to Aston Martin. The company has had some tough years, however Lawrence Stroll and Toto Wolff have both recently purchased part of the company. I'm hoping to get your thoughts on the company as a whole.

Thanks.

Q: I started an RESP for my 2 grandsons about 3 years ago. Only 5 stocks in the account: 3 Cdn. banks, BAM and an energy company. It is doing much worse than my RESP or TFSA. I wanted safe, dividend paying stocks. Obviously the lack of diversification has hurt. I have some cash in account I would like to deploy. Please give me a few suggestions of companies I should add. Thx.

Q: Hi,

I've held CDZ since I first began investing on my own, about 12 years ago, and it doesn't appear to have done a whole lot. The dividend is great, mind you, but I haven't seen much growth. Over these 12 years, I've been buying many of the individual positions that form part of CDZ.

Does it make much sense to continue to hold CDZ as an anchor for my portfolio? Or can I start to wind it down and use that cash to build up other positions, while maintaining a balanced portfolio.

Thanks
Robert

Q: There was a question about US estate taxation. Here is an article I found helpful.

https://ca.rbcwealthmanagement.com/documents/233544/0/U.S.+Estate+Tax+for+Canadians+in+2019.pdf/ba88e6ce-fb64-4abe-bb57-8a6f4c3dad22

This was a key point in the document, page 5, to focus upon:

American Depository Receipts
(ADRs) — these are exempt from U.S. estate tax because the
underlying share holdings are not U.S. corporations

Q: I have been considering increasing my position since the beginning of September. Coincidentally, this is when WELL price jumped a few times. I have been waiting for a pullback (6$ was my target), but this never happened.

Argument to increase a position at this time:
1) Valuation reaching 1 bln $ - this may attract big institutional investors.
2) The stock help up well during the recent sell off, meaning strong sentiment.
3) Shareholder meeting approaching, and an announcement combined with a positive news may move the price even higher.

Arguments against:
1) Valuation
2) Potential volatility

Can you comment on the valuation for this stock? How does it compare to stock with similar risk profiles (growing small-caps)? Does the premium justify prospects in your opinion? Do you agree with my arguments, and would you add anything to my summary? Thanks for your service.
