Investment Q&A

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

Q: Your thoughts on a portfolio in a non registered account consisting simply of these 3 etf's (ZRE,ZPR,ZDV) to hold forever. Dividends received put into VIG.US, I'm 45 years old, I have no mortgage and no debts looking to borrow and bring my accounts to 100k for each of these 3 etf's totalling 300k, in retirement will use only dividends. (This would act as my deferred annuity but I get to keep my money) is my thinking clear?

Q: Hi Peter

I own QSR at lower levels and am considering adding Starbucks with its pullback. They are the kind of companies I like to own with increasing dividends.
However, I have a hard time accepting P/Es in the mid 20s. Morningstar has SBUX with a forward P/E of 25. Still seems expensive even with its pullback. What do you think?

Cheers
John

Q: I am looking at my Cons. Disc and my Industrial sectors. I consider MG and BYD.un to be a hybrid between these two sectors, but I am not sure that you would agree. I have full positions in AYA, MG and BYD.UN and half positions in KBL and NFI, having recently sold WSP. I have 3% cash to deploy and I am thinking of adding a pure C. Disc. stock. Would you agree with this and what stocks would you recommend I look at? Thanks for such a great service! I have signed on for my 4th year.

Q: I have no REITS in my portfolio and since I do my own taxes I like to keep things simple and did read that it better to hold REITS in an RRSP account if you don't want to be bother with return on capital, etc. I am wondering if I have no room in my RRSP would it be okay to put in my TFSA? I am looking at ZRE and XRE which one you prefer and CSH.UN or is just one index fund good enough.

Thanks
Dolores

Q: Good Morning
I have replicated both my RRSP and TFSA accounts to hold many of the holdings in both the Balanced and Growth Portfolios save and except CGI and Cipher. I have reviewed your comments on theses companies but would like some specific advice if you think I should swap these out or continue to hold. I currently hold all your teck recommendations except OTC and have full positions in GUD and SIS
Thank you for your exceptional advice and guidance.

Q: HI Peter. Thanks for your great service. My question today is I am going to sell RBF 1340 formerly PHN bond. I would like to replace it with stocks that consistently and regularly increase their dividend for the past 5,10 ++ years. They would be inside a rrsp fund. I have a company pension and receive cpp and oas. Please suggest 5 to 6 stocks. Thanks Frank

Q: Hi,

Within an overall balanced portfolio, I am looking to add one "high yielder" to supplement dividend income. Which of the four listed would you prefer and feel the dividend is the "most" secure going forward? Is their a different equity that you would recommend other than the four listed?

Regards,

Robert
