Investment Q&A

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

Q: Where would you recommend I place $30k in a TFSA today (5 year hold). Only other holdings in this TFSA are $12k in iShares MSCI ETF (XAW) and $3k in Kelt Exploration (KEL).
Where would you recommend I place $60 in an RSP today (5 year hold).
Only other holdings in this RSP are $40k BMO Dividend ETF (ZDV), $10K NorthWest Co (NWC), and $15k Richards Packaging (RPI.UN).
Given the size of the portfolios, probably one or several ETF's, instead of more individual stocks? And probably better non-Canadian exposure? Anything else to be sold here before repositioning?
I guess that's 3 or more questions, please charge accordingly. Thanks.

Q: Hello team,

Would you please compare and contrast these two SAAS companies. I appreciate it if you can comment on their moat and and market as well as competition, quality of business, current valuation, momentum, and financial strength.

I know you like them both, but I have money only for one and I am wondering which one has more torque and a brighter future, for it is current growth is going to only accelerate further.

Thank you very much indeed for being the referee here.

Q: 10:15 AM 5/16/2019
1. Could you please provide the numbers for, and compare and comment on : debt levels, financial leverage, debt to cashflow, and payout ratios for EMA, FTS, AQN, BIP.UN, BEP.UN.
2. You seem to always rate EMA at the bottom of the list [Why?] but I believe EMA has sold off some significant assets [Emera Maine and others?, more to come?] so debt levels should be lower, so is it a secure buy now for long-term dividend income?
3. I worry that BIP and BEP both have extremely high payout ratios. You have suggested that a total of 15% of one's portfolio in these two would be acceptable. Are you still of that opinion?
Thank you........ Paul K

Q: The market seems to be discounting the likelihood that ACs $13 offer will be accepted or allowed. Some other Analysts have stated they think $13 is on the low end and that higher offers from other parties might still materialize. Would you be a buyer under $12 based on the assumption $13 will probably be the lowest offer accepted? Other thoughts on how to play this?
