Investment Q&A

Q: Using ARX as an example of a company with a 10% share buyback approval, through to Sept 2022.
As an owner, I would rather see them leverage and do it sooner, while the stock is still cheap.
Does this ever happen, or it considered as bad form by the TSX ?

Q: With the American banks having strong earnings, do you see the same for Canadian banks when they report. Which banks do you prefer.

Q: I am deciding which one to buy. There is a $2.00 premium for BAMR which is one to one exchangeable with BAM. But my thinking is that BAMR might have more growth as a new company trying to reach a certain scale. I like the (Re) insurance business. There are other considerations such as valuation, stock correlation, market float etc which I appreciate your comments on. Which would you buy? Thanks Derek

Q: Hi
I use BMOInvestorline as my brokerage account. I have a CDN and a US dollar side.

I'm overweight Canada and wanted to increase my US holdings. I thought that one easy way to do that was to journal my Enbridge and Magna positions from the CDN to the US side of my account.

I think I misunderstood what this meant. I had thought that it meant that my existing shares in ENB and MG on the TSE would be exchanged for ENB and MG shares traded on the NYSE. But the fellow at BMOInvestorline said that it's just changing the currency and the shares will continue to trade on the TSE.

Is there a way to take an existing position on the TSE and exchange it for the same shares being traded on the NYSE?

I'm not sure I really diversified my holdings. I just changed the currency.

Thanks,
Robert

Q: With the recent earnings out, do you think JPM has still room to grow or you believe it is mostly fully valued at the present price ? Thanks for your valued advices everyday !

Q: I'm thinking of switching my CPD to ZPR because the return of ZPR has been significantly higher and the dividend is slightly higher. Curious what your thoughts are. Do you prefer one over the other? Any reason to own both - half in one, half in the other?

Q: Can you recommend a sort of Rip van Winkle portfolio for an 84 year old lady who just sold her house? We're talking in the neighbourhood of $400,000. She has little need for the money right now and is not worried much about volatility. She has an pension which helps too cover the need for bonds.

Q: Would you regard iip.un as a solid addition for a TFSA? My current TFSA holdings include, SHOP, KXS, CSU, OTEX, CP, ATD.B, CPX, AQN, NWH.UN and SGR.UN.

Thanks.

Q: Recently you mentiontionned if there was a must own stock for you, it would be Nvidia. I own Qualcomm. I have been thinking about buying Nvidia for awhile, now.

thanks for the great service

Q: What is the best way to buy physical gold and to hold it in an account as allocated gold, without taking delivery, and thus preserving the custody trail? Are there tax implications if the value of the gold goes up? Is it possible to hold the gold in a TFSA?

If this is several questions, please deduct credits as appropriate.

Q: Given diminishing growth in China, is it time to pull the pin on LIF? What are your general thoughts on this stock? Thank you.

Q: Would you consider these two energy/pipeline stocks as a reasonable holding in one portfolio for several years? With the trends to devalue energy stocks due to climate changes and relevant government policies some investors or investment firms would start exiting such stocks. I myself , despite the all negative sentiment for energy stocks cannot see that combustion powered engines will disappear from roadways of North America ,Europe, Asia or Africa any time soon. Will they all be replaced by " inexpensive" electric engine driven vehicles? I can hardly see it. Perhaps in 50 years? What is your opinion on this matter?

Q: Which do you believe will show greater growth next year: LULU or AMZN? Thank you.
