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 retired and living on dividend income. I would like to invest 10% of my portfolio in 4 stocks from your growth and balanced portfolios for capital appreciation. Which 4 stocks would you recommend that are at the best valuation, offer a margin of safety, and offer the best growth potential for a 3-5 year hold?

Q: What are your thoughts on JD.Com as a rival in the market place to Alibaba?

Motley Fool presented an interesting article recently to suggest that JD.Com's potential is/may be greater than Alibaba's given that JD's business model is more akin to Amazon. While BABA deals mainly in secondary merchants, as in EBAY, JD is selling its own products. The article cited impressive growth percentages showing how JD is outstripping Baba and is a force with which to contend.

I own both BABA and AMZN, but was thinking of making the switch out of BABA into JD. Any thoughts on their potential growth, their financials, etc. .... Notwithstanding your "non coverage of US cos" , which is always understood. Thanks.

Q: Hi, this is a Warren Buffet Co. that I have had for over three years,and is at a high. Would you consider it a good time to sell? Or If you know anything about the company,would you hang on for a better return? I have a small profit.
If I sold I would buy something in your income portfolio, so if you think there is a better opportunity would like your opinion. I could buy any sector except financial,which I am fully invested.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Q: Good morning: I have done quite well with BUS over the past year yet after the last earnings report, e shares have dipped. My thinking is that with the huge order backlog of ~$100 Million, a manufacturing assembly contractor in the USA, it being a potential takeout candidate, I should continue to hold. Would you have an opinion? (I also have a half position in NFI.) Thanks for your excellent advisories.

Q: I bought AX.UN for income and growth, and while the 8% dividend remains attractive I am concerned about growth in this space. I'm thinking of trading for KWH.UN for same payout but possible greater growth potential. I would appreciate your thoughts on this action.
