Investment Q&A

Q: Can you supply a few suggestions of dividend stocks that may be good to purchase during tax loss selling? Canadian and US if possible.
A few growth stocks would be a good balance to this question as well! Thanks, James

Q: Hi Team,

Have you noticed all the BAIL-IN debt that's being raised right now by Canadian banks? Shouldn't we be exiting these stocks or am I misreading what is going on?

I was shopping for some short term bonds with high yields to hold to maturity and I see a number of issues where "Bail-in debt," is written in the comments on the bonds.

Q: What would be your top five income and growth investments for an rrsp

Q: What does the market expect this quarter?


Thx

Q: I may be incorrectly expecting downward pressure on oil prices given the likelihood of reduced demand from recessionary conditions. As a result I plan on exiting my position in Suncor and moving the funds elsewhere in hopes of capital appreciation. I follow the Balanced Portfolio with a few holdings of some other names you like. Wondering if you could provide a couple of Canadian companies you feel are undervalued right now regardless of sector. Don’t need the cash again for 10 years.

Q: I am making some end of year adjustments to my portfolio and am looking to add a new position with some cash in and RSP accounts. Looking at H, EIF or BNS. Which do you prefer at the momment. Income investor, long term hold, well balanced and diversified portfolio.

Q: Would you say tax loss selling is mostly done with these 2?

Thx

Q: Hi Guys

Can you outline a bit your thoughts on the Latin American holdings/issues with Scotia Bank eg. Mexico/Chile. Do you see these as short term issues which will resolve in time, view their holdings as having long term value and be a good contributor to earnings going forward (or assets they will be looking to shed), and do you see BNS earning as going down/staying the same/or going up over the next 5 years. And lastly the safety of the dividend?

Much thanks

Stuart

Q: What would be your top picks for Canadian large cap dividend paying stocks that are currently trading at a good entry point?

Q: Which Canadian Banks or near banks have the least exposure to investment banking and other capital markets?

Q: Good Morning,

Thank you for the ongoing sage commentary.

Would you mind providing 3-4 dividend stocks with growth potential that are cheap at the moment?

Thank you

Q: If its any consolation to your members who hold this the CEO incoming CEO and chairman have bought more than $6 million dollars recently

Q: Do you have any feel for commodities, specifically Oil and Copper, over the next six months to a year?
I would like to hide in some dividend-paying stocks.
Capital retention and some dividend gain is the goal right now.
With that in mind, I feel like this might be a good opportunity to buy Canadian banks, for the long haul and oil and commodities shorter term.
I would appreciate your opinion on my theory and these securities.
As well, any ideas you have would be great.

INTC
SCCO

Thanks for the fabulous service and please use as many credits as necessary.

Q: Further to Blake’s question today regarding other banks out performing Bns, I has charted Bns vs the other big banks and Bns underperforms over 1, 3, 5, and 10 years. I’ve held Bns for 6 yrs waiting the reversion to mean to happen and Bns to outperform. When is it time to accept that their Latin America and Asia higher growth profile will always be dragged down by economic or political turmoil in one of their markets? I moved on last month.

Q: Good Evening
For tax loss selling purposes can you please provide a proxy for the following:

ZEB , BNS , CDZ, SLF, GRT.UN, MI.UN, and TRP.
Can any bank be used as a proxy for BNS?

Please deduct as many credits as required.
Thanks

Q: My wife's Cash account. As funds become available, I plan to initiate a position in NRGI and top up 3 existing positions = BNS, FTS, NWC.

Due to the war, NRGI could be a good addition if the war carries on, or possibly negative if the war ends (I'd gladly lose some money if it helped end the war). NWC has had a good run lately, so my thought was to do it last if at all. I currently have a large paper loss on BNS and a large paper gain on FTS. With interest rates still probably rising, that might help BNS and hurt FTS, but the market might be looking past the remaining interest rate hikes.

My thoughts on the sequence of buying when funds are available are = NRGI, BNS, FTS, NWC.

Your thoughts on sequence and why please...thanks.
Steve

Q: In March of 2020 BMO traded at 56 C$ and BNS at 46 C$ a difference of $10..

Fast Forward to today BMO $122 and BNS $65 a difference of $57. To say

BMO has outperformed would be an understatement.When I look at forward PE BMO still looks better. Time to move on from BNS and buy the bank that executes better.

Q: I am considering adding to BNS or SLF (existing positions) or TD (new position). Capital gain primary - fairly risk tolerant. Your preference - Thanks Jim

Q: My Cash account. My plan is to top up existing positions in the following equities:
LIFE, AD.UN, BNS, WSP.

My thoughts were to buy in this order = LIFE (up overall, small capital loss on paper), AD (up lots, ETF-like stock), BNS (small paper loss), WSP (sensitive to economy-related projects?).

Could you please provide the sequence that you would buy these and why. The funds are available now, but I plan to spread out my purchases over time.

Thanks for your help....Steve

Q: Hi 51,
Thanks for your thoughtful answer to my question earlier this morning asking which sectors you expect to recover more quickly, and for some names you like in each.
The names you listed in the two sectors you identified (tech and consumer discretionary) were all US companies. Do you see the same sector recovery pattern being followed in Canada, and can you provide some Canadian names in the sectors you like that you would expect to 'lead the charge'? Thanks!
Peter
