Investment Q&A

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

Q: Are you aware of any reason for Parkland to drop over 5% on over 5 times the normal volume yesterday? I couldn't find anything. The stock is held in my husband's TFSA with a good gain over several years. It is a small portion of our total portfolio. I had been thinking of adding on its recent positive momentum. Or selling to add to a partial new position in NWC. Thank you for taking the time to do a little checking. Have a great long weekend.

Q: Good day team,

A few companies I'm invested in are in a loss position so far.

AQN 42% loss
AD 16% loss
CJT 22% loss
GSY 22% loss

At this point which stock do you think I should keep, which one sell, and which one replace and with what?

I'm retired and 73 years of age.

Take as many points as needed.

Thank you
John G.

Q: Dear Peter and team,

Thank you for answering my earlier question on heavy oil and suggesting your picks. Doing my "homework", I see that these three are cross listed in the US and Canada. NYSE/TSX.
As I plan to hold them for a sometime I plan to write covered calls to augment the dividends. (One of your favourite strategies if I recall.)

With this in mind, may I ask you if it is more prudent buy these in NYSE as the options market is more vibrant on NYSE? Or stick to TSX? I understand that there is a currency risk if I buy them in USD. As the will be in our Regd accounts not too worried about tax consequences.

Many thanks in advance.

Q: What is your current assessment of George Weston. Its share price is down about 20% since its high of 4-5 months ago, and seems to be in a downward trend. It has a fairly small dividend. How does it look to you? Are there any reasons you to continue to hold this? Do you have any other defensive names that you prefer? Thanks,

Q: Good day ,
I realize this name has been asked about numerous times including myself and most likely feel like I’m beating a dead horse here.. but this is the reason we as retail investors look to to your service for help .. no beating around the bush here as we know it’s a “hold “ for now .. are u confident in 2 -3 years time we investors who have “held “ this name will be rewarded for holding or averaging down as we are investing in this company and not trading this name .. are u confident in the management and the business model here for a long term story ?
Thank u
Mark

Q: Hi 5i Team - I am interested in buying more U.S. stocks and have a non-registered U.S. dollar account as well as a TFSA account in Canadian dollars. Are there any concerns over buying U.S stocks in the TFSA account? eg. Are U.S. capital gains and dividends still tax exempt in a the TFSA. Any advice as to preferences re which account to use would be appreciated.

Q: Peter and His Dream Team
Recently, you stated there was no compelling reason to continue holding LGO..."moving on" was probably the best option. I am a share holder and of course under water. Now there is a new development...a strategic review. Do you think this has any real potential benefit?Also over a million shares sold near the close...is this just panic selling or has the ship hit an iceberg? Ha!Ha! Thank you for your information and insights...they are always valuable as us little guys try to compete with the big boys! Ha!Ha!
