Investment Q&A

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

Q: Have a small position in UTX(US). The company has declared a spin-off of Otis and Carrier which ( I assume??) will leave me with shares in three companies as opposed to one company. I tend to not like small positions as it is now three times more work to moniter. What would you do? Sell UTX now or just accept that I now have two additional companies to watch? Thanks Ron

Q: On Feb. 3, a member wrote on the question board that "TD Waterhouse stopped coverage on GSY only because their analyst quit." Would a brokerage as large as TD completely drop coverage of a company if an analyst left their organization, or would they simply transfer coverage of the company to another analyst which they employed (or perhaps hire another analyst if the company in question could not be evaluated by analysts within their employ)? I would figure that any brokerage which offers analysis of publicly traded companies would not drop evaluation of a given company altogether due to one of their own analysts seeking employment elsewhere. I am curious to know your thoughts on this question. Thanks so much!

Q: I feel I am over exposed to the Canadian Financial sector with TD and BNS making up 9% & 11% respectively of my portfolio. As well, I'm looking for more growth. I wish to sell one position and increase my US equities such as MA, V, MSFT, CRM. Would you consider this a reasonable plan and what bank would you recommend selling? Thank you.
