Q: I have an RESP for my two year old granddaughter that is diversified into 6 TSX stocks and one US ETF. Each TSX stock is currently a small holding because of the limited RESP donations to date. My question is - when the RESP is liquidated many years from now, is there a minimum number of shares I should have in each stock to facilitate selling the position?

Q: I admit that I have not read many investment reports on this company and Constellation Brands has their reasons for their recent purchase . Given that, I suggest that by any metric/measure/ fundamental analysis these shares are way overpriced. For my mind, the only ( in bold) reason to purchase these shares is to join the momentum party. That is never a good reason to buy shares of a company. That is just gambling, not investing and I do not think it has a place in a serious successful investor's portfolio. Even so called pros get burned by these types of buys ( think Nortel, Bre-Ex to name just two of many many such companies).

Q: Hi,

In a diversified portfolio, what is a prudent allocation to REITs? If I wanted to be more aggressive, what would be the maximum exposure you would recommend? Finally, is it okay to focus this exposure on what sector in the REIT space, i.e. multi-family properties?

Thank you,
Jason

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
I know you are not as familiar with the US. A family member is thinking of a small investment in his portfolio of ARNA Arena Pharma in the US.
Would you be able to give some comments on your thoughts and whether for a younger person not risk adverse how far devoting a half position to this company would be any wiser than a casino visit?
Thanks and have a great day
Dennis
