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 overweight in financials with BNS, TD, SLF, POW, Visa and underweight in Utilities. I was thinking of letting POW go. Thoughts on this?

For Utilities, I looked at TA with its very low P/E but it is still stuck in non-renewables at the moment. Thoughts on this? What utility (ies) would you suggest?

I am just asking for thoughts/suggestions.
Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Q: Hi fellows,

These are big loosers in my TFSA, more than 50%. Do you see any chance of a significant upside for these stocks in a reasonable time frame or further deterioration ? I am tempted to liquidate them and recover a bit of cash for a better investment. What would you do if you were in my shoes ?

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

Q: I took a position in ZRE, I also try to avoid office REITS and a to high proportion of retail REITS in the present market..I noticed that ZRE fact sheet shows 68% retail REITS,and no residential REIT in its sector allocation ! Among the 23 holdings, at least 9 appear to be residential REITS.Could you please indicate the "real percentage" of retail REITS and of residential REITS in this ETF.Are sector allocation % calculated from the number of REITS or by the cumulative NAV in each category?

Q: Hi 5i Research team,
Not a question:
the larger drop in price of TD yesterday was possibly due to the fact that “TD Bank executives knew about US probe six months before disclosing it” revealed by a report from The Capitol Forum yesterday. See G&M article for more details.
Thank you for your good work,
Eric

Q: Are either of these high dividend funds worth investing in? Each has had rapid price appreciation recently but seem relatively impenetrable per dividend safety and long-term growth prospects.

Q: My son is getting married this year and he and his fiance are planning to purchase a home in the next 2-3 years. He has opened an FHSA acct and invested these funds in a GIC. He also has cash in his RRSP and TFSA accounts that are held at TD Waterhouse Webroker which he wants to use for a down payment on the home as well when the time comes. Could you please give me your top 3 income/savings vehicles and your top 3 dividend stocks (understanding these are riskier) you would recommend he purchase through his TD Waterhouse account in this scenerio.
Many Thanks
Scott
