Investment Q&A

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

Q: As with most retail companies ATZ took a pretty good hit after the China tariffs were announced and has been plummeting ever since (except the past couple of days). Do you think these tariffs are now fully priced into ATZ or do you think there will be another hit to earnings when the next quarterly report comes out? Is ATZ good enough to overcome this risk?

Q: My daughter is 20 and has maximized her TFSA allotment in an annual lump sum for past three years, and is likely to maximize every year going forward. I'm trying to simplify her investing so what ETF's would you recommend if she doesn't need the money for three years? Would you recommend different ETF's if she doesn't need for 10 years? What about 20+ years?

Q: My pots of money are: 10% resp,10% tfsa, 40% rsp, 40% unregistered
If I want a 30-30-30-10 split of CAD, USA, International and Emerging markets what should go where for best tax efficiency? My pots dont fit the recommended tax efficient locations for my investments perfectly ( growth in TFSA, USA div in RSP, cad div in unreg) so am considering:

TFSA is growth so I think any IWO or VEE would go here...I am a bit short to fit all my VEE and IWO in the TFSA so part needs to go somewhere else. ( likely RSP?)
My Unregistered accounts hold all my cad stocks ( mostly your balanced portfolio)
which leaves spy, vig, ve and xef in RSP. ( plus any excess of my iwo and vee growth)
what should go in the RESP( similar to TFSA or RSP?)?

Any suggested switches to where I plan to hold the above investments?

Q: I like TOY but am concerned about the following:
1) How vulnerable is TOY's business to low price "knock-offs" being marketed as TOY brands through on-line channels like Amazon, Alibaba, etc.?
2) Do retailers like Amazon & Walmart have the technology to restrict this type of thing, or would they unknowingly be expediting it (and benefitting from it)?
3) How effective is legal action initiated by a company like TOY in defending its intellectual property?
4) Is this vulnerability a "deal breaker" in deciding NOT to buy TOY?
Thank you for your thoughts.
