Investment Q&A

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

Q: Just a quick note of thanks. I noticed a few negative/frustrated posts (in particular question asked by Josh - November 18, 2015). I have my share of hits and misses and we are all big boys and girls who know the risks - if not fully appreciated.

It shows your integrity to post these types of questions and not gloss over them. Keep up the great work.

Publish if you wish.

Could you please give me your thoughts on Sanofi as a five year hold? I do not presently have any pharma exposure.

Q: I am retired and my portfolio is set up for income with some growth, I believe it to be well diversified. I also believe I could use some more exposure to REITs, RioCan and HR combined make up 3% of my portfolio. I have been considering bringing Reit exposure up to 12% by adding Boardwalk and Dream with each of the four holding at 3%. Most of the cost will come from cash and the sale of a portion of my CPD units with the balance coming from some needed clean up.
I would appreciate any thoughts, comments and input.
Thanks for you guidance,
Brian

Q: I've held this since IPO and have been happy to collect the dividend. Now the stock is trading bellow the IPO cost that I paid and I am wondering if I should sell or continue to hold. Is there much more downside risk from here and are there any positives that will help the company to increase revenues and earnings in the next 12 months.

Q: Hi Peter
Have done very well by your CDN stock picks. I know US stocks are not something you specialize in but a question. If I wanted to buy one US conglomerate (not in health care) for long term low risk growth and income what would be your top choices? Much thanks

Q: I have three stinkers that you have given up on and that I intend to abandon as well. I follow a selection of stocks in your portfolios but didn't sell when you removed them (to my regret): GXI, SCR and FM.

Do you have any advice on ditching these losers? Specifically, should I 1) sell today at market, having decided I don't like them; 2) set a good-till-cancel limit sell order at a better price; or 3) sell in the new year in the hopes of a bounce post-tax-loss-selling season? Or something else. I'm happy to be patient short-term but want them gone by February. Thanks for this great service.

Q: I see they are reporting in early December. Is it advisable to start a position now or wait - or is there no preference? You mentioned they have long-term contracts; would that imply reasonably "secure" forecasts and have you an opinion on those? The stock price lately has shown no direction.
Thank you.

Q: Hi Team,
Trying to find a good entry point for lmp. Can you help me with the earnings expectations for this company over the next 2-3 years?

Ideally, I'd like to hold for the same time frame. I don't want to waste a year though as they grow into their multiple.

Thanks,
