Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi 5i Team, at 63 I know I should be in Bonds........but can't get myself to, especially if they go Negative. Hence, I'm looking for 1 or 2 good companies that pay a good/safe dividend. CHR pays almost 7%, and their Air Canada contract is good until 2025, so low risk of the dividing slumping & using the Rule of 72, my $ should double in 10 years. Can you please comment &/or offer an alternative? Thanks!:)

Q: You guys do an amazing job and I really enjoyed your appearance on BNN recently Peter. QHR has had a big run up lately and has been hitting all time highs. Any reason for the recent gains? I have not been able to find any news. I know they are reporting in the next week or two, and is this just market anticipation for a good quarter? Will the stock tank if they disappoint vs. expectations or are you comfortable with adding more today? QHR is currently 3% of my portfolio. Thanks.

Q: I would like to increase my investments in the Canadian consumer staple sector. I am looking for yield, but the sector doesn't seem exciting in that record. My only holding in the sector is North West Co. (NWC).

Q: I own both of these in my TFSA. I think of them as different because ATD is international with a focus on gas sales while PKI is Canadian and has propane distribution along with its gas. However, given your comments on BNN last night, should I consider them more as similar companies and combine my investments when calculating my portfolio exposure?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team.

I have one account (representing about 20% of my overall portfolio) where I hold only the Balanced Equity Portfolio. KXS is pushing 7% of this account, so I was thinking of trimming it back to about 5%. All other positions in the account are at about 4% to 5%, except HCG, NFI, and PKI, each at about 2%.

Do you think I should top up one of the half-positions, keep some cash handy for future purchases, or leave well enough alone and keep KXS at 7%? (Note: I also own smaller positions in KXS in a couple of TFSA accounts.)

Thanks,

Scott
