Investment Q&A

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

Q: What's with so many stocks trading at above average volumes today? Is this related the TSX index changes for Monday or are there other factors.
Is it a quarterly balancing?
I think ETFs sort out their positions about this time of the year for equal weight ETFs for example.
I often see above average volumes at month end which I thought was funds trying to make their month end holdings look better.
Thanks for your professional opinion.

Q: As a result of comments from 5i and other factors I initiated partial positions in the above 5 companies (so thanks!). All have done well.
At this point I am looking to add to my positions and wondered if you saw any red flags in any of the 5 companies and also in which order you would rank for adding funds.

Thanks,

Terry

Q: I sent in a question a 3 days ago about using preferred shares in companies in lieu of savings mutual funds like DYN6000. Did you get the question? Also wondering if Preferred shares is a better option because of the dividend then could you give me a list of 6 to 8 in Canada and 4 in the US that you would recommend. Hope both you Peter and Ryan and your families are staying safe.

Regards,

Brendan

Q: I have been following your advice of slow buying. For recovery plays with a one to 3 year timeframe (US election and possible normalcy returning post-COVID) is Canada or US better positioned? If all things are equal I favour Canada to avoid the nuisance of Norbert's Gambit etc. But if there is a compelling difference I'd like to use that to my advantage. I have some XIT, AC, SU and LNF and I am finding it hard to wait for the slow buying due to FOMO. How slow is slow enough? Thoughts appreciated.

Q: I have owned a full position in AW since the early 2000's, first in my daughters TFSA and now in my RRSP. I like to tell my daughter that Teen Burgers paid for her university! My Question is, how much value to you feel would be added to the share price when and if the dividend is reinstated? Any thoughts on when that might happen and would it likely be added back at the same level as previously? I am contemplating a switch to QSR but I feel like I might miss a nice pop in AW.
Thanks so much for your always valued input.
