Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello Pieter; I currently have approx. 5,500 in my TFSA to invest for a 3-5 year hold. I had previously invested in REITS & though I still believe in the REIT space, I am looking to invest in stocks that would provide more steady growth and dividend increases over time. I have selected several such as: BYD.UN, HCG, BAD, STN & MG as possible candidates. Can you please suggest the top 2 that you see as having the highest potential for continued appreciation and dividend increases. I currently hold small positions in the following: AW.UN (26% of total), CGX (19%), DH (24%), FRU (14%) & IPL (17%). Thanks for your help.

Q: Still not sure what to do. Sell or Hold my stocks. You said earlier that they would settle the Dept.Ceiling but it's getting very close now. I'm hoping i'm not asking this to late to get a answer. Would need to know by noon Oct. 16th. If they don't settle should I be selling my stocks. I'm up quite a bit so i'd hate to lose it. Hope I can get a answer soon. Thank You Very Much For All Your Help. Andy

Q: Hi Peter, I'm seriously overweight Badger (BAD) at 13.5% (still love it) and am considering dumping PPL and PKI as decent dividend plays but under performing the rest of my portfolio.
If I trimmed Badger and sold the other two would any or all of BBVA, SAN, ORI, KBWD and WTE work as dividend plays with decent growth potential.
Thanks

Q: I currently have a portfolio of 20 stocks with about a 5% weighting in each position. My investment objective is long term growth with increasing dividends. Three of my holdings are IPL.un(Inter Pipeline), GEI(Gibson)and ALA(Altagas. Are these companies sufficiently different to continue holding all three or would it be better to diversify into another sector? And if you were to sell one or 2 of these which would it be?
