Investment Q&A

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

Q: We have a small amount of investable dollars available that was gifted to us when our two children were born. They both already have RESPs and those are maxed out. Our own TFSAs are maxed out, and the RRSPs are nearly as well - but this is intended to be for them when they get older, not us. Any advice you can give other than model something after the growth portfolio and wait? Time is on our side. 10+ year outlook before we might try and access it.

Q: How does criteria to be added to the TSX composite and additions/removals to the index work? I have a hand full of stocks I would've guessed would be on it but aren't (SIS, TIXT, CTS, WELL, DRM, PLC). Then, I noticed REAL is on it - would it be up for possible removal due to its decline and smaller market cap? Thanks for sharing.

Besides the above I mentioned, what other stocks might be added to the index over the next few years that you would recommend? GDI stands out as one I would guess? Any others?

Q: Sometimes when I place an order with TD webbroker they say the order is under review. For example, I placed an order for Bombardier today. ( I know you guys are not recommending the stock). Any reason for the review? It holds up the purchase.

Q: hello 5i:
We've held GUD since 2014; one of the very few losers in a mostly, 5i recommended and diverse portfolio. Its shrunk to a less than 1% holding. Would you now be fine letting this go to add to a 1.5% position in WELL, realizing there may be a valuation difference? Thanks for your good work over the years. hello 5I:
just asked this question and should have included other health care holdings so you could assess properly. MRK, ABBV and VEEV in equal amounts. WELL at a smaller position. Please include this info with my previous question when answering.
thanks

Q: Recently, I've become interested in the delta between the market price and the fair value of a stock position. There are a number of investment websites that provide such "data", like Morning Star, CFRA on iTrade, StockCalc via the Globe & Mail and then Simply Wall Street. I'm keen to get your take on the value of such "data" and if there is one site that is more dependable than others. Any other insights would be appreciated.......Tom

Q: Good Afternoon,

Thanks for all your hard work. Today I heard Analyst's recommend Volkswagen and TTEC on CNBC. I am okay with moderate risk but not gamble. Have long term horizon + 3 years. He mentioned that Volkswagen is selling at 6 times earning and will be the largest EV seller next year. Also potential to unlock value if they spin off Porsche Would you recommend these 2 stocks as buy? If yes why and what sticker would we use for Volkswagen to trade on North American market and preferred entry point if any.
