Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am interested in learning about what investments a company may hold (eg. Facebook - where have they invested? Their 10-K for December 2020 says they held 6,234 million in Equity Investments. This is a huge increase over the past two years, based on the Cashflow statements. It appeared to be an investment in Jio Platforms, per Note 5 of the financials. If I wanted to find out what other securities they held, is there somewhere else I can look, or does the 10-K provide all I could hope to find? Thanks.

Q: The fixed income portion of our portfolio includes XBB@15% and ZIC at 6%. Portfolio analytics is suggesting fixed income assets @40%. I am not keen on adding more bonds and would be comfortable at 30% in FI. Can you suggest 1-2 alternatives for someone entering retirement?

Q: Relative to payment methods for the purchase of goods, bank sponsored debit and credit cards employ intermediaries such as VISA or Master Card.
This appears to be increasingly disrupted by tech companies that are not financial companies themselves, however I understand, have a bank in the background.
My question is: If I own VISA should I also consider owning PAYPAL or other to take advantage of the tech side of things thus giving my self a barbell approach? This is not a question on VISA or PAYPAL but on the benefits of investing in the new entities that seem to be appearing in the financial payment system.
Thanks

Q: What are some of your favourite founder led growth companies that you would be comfortable investing in today (US and CAN)? I just finished the Motley Fool Investment Guide by David and Tom Gardner, and they are big on that component. Would you generally agree with them?
Thanks

Q: I am looking to increase my energy exposure, and I am debating between a more senior producer, such as Suncor, or looking for greater torque to oil prices, such as Tamarack or Athabasca. I was wondering about your thoughts on the matter, including whether you feel that energy producers have more runway, or if the energy sector has reached something closer to full value. This would be a smaller position, no more than 2% of portfolio, so I can afford to take on some risk for the opportunity for growth. Thanks again, and I look forward to reading your thoughts.

Q: Hi
Thank you for your insights. It has been very helpful grow my portfolio so that is balanced and diversified. I have about $10000 that I would like to invest in mostly growth stocks with a 10-year horizon. Its possible I will have additional funds to add in the next couple of years. I would like to keep this separate from my larger portfolio. My risk profile is medium to aggressive for these stocks. Are there others I should be interested in as well? I am looking to purchase 4 stocks. What would your suggestion be based on growth and risk/reward?
