Q: Dollerama stores are everywhere. They must be reaching a saturation point. I understand that they are trying to move up the value chain and gradually increasing prices. But they also face pressure from the potential tariffs on Chinese goods since the majority of their products are sourced from China. Do you still like this company or is there another retail company that would be a better fit?
thanks in advance.

Q: Hi Peter & Ryan,
Is H&R REIT a buy here? The unit price erodes as the Trust restructures or whatever it is doing. I like the move into US residential, which is why I own it.
I have read elsewhere that the NBV is $25. Do you concur & is it a buy here?
I own a bit (at 20.25) for the income and was thinking of adding. Finally, do you think there is takeover potential here, as I am thinking? Thanks, I appreciate your opinion.
Terry
ps - thanks for your answers to PXT, which I waded into today.

Q: Hi, AMZN and NFLX have always been hard to buy due to expensive valuations. I managed to accumulate AMZN shares, a few months ago when stock dipped due to Mr Trump's rhetoric. NFLX price has dropped after its recent results due to lower subscriber growth and softer guidance. How do you see the thereat of competition from Hulu, Disney and Amazon etc ? Do you think, it's an opportunity to buy/accumulate for a 5 years or longer hold ? Thanks

Q: Hi 5i, thank you for your service , the Q&A alone is worth every dollar.

I have big gains in (NFLX – 8%, NVDA – 8%, FB – 8%, GOOGL – 8%, AMZN – 7%) and I have already sold some of these companies previously but they keep rising! Some may say I have let these ride for too long already BUT… based on the Q&A I get a sense you think all of these “tech” stocks are market leaders and have lots of room for earnings growth, so part of me wants to keep them going as I can see them continuing to rise and rise until of course there is eventually a recession or market crash, but again I think a few years after that event they will still be dominant companies, but please give me a good reason to sell these stocks, because I am struggling to justify selling some of them again. I do not need this money for a min 20 years and do not shy from risk.

Also, I have cash available even if I don't sell anything, any recommendations for 2-3 stocks to finish the portfolio ? TD or BNS or both would be adequate? I don’t have an appetite for an energy/oil company, or mining at this time..
Here are the rest of my stocks (SHOP – 5%, BRK – 5%, XYL – 5%, GSY – 5%,TOY – 5%, SIS – 5%, PBH – 5%, PHO – 4%, KXS – 3%, TSGI – 2.5%, GC – 2.5%, SPOT – 2.5%, RHT – 3%, COV – 3%).

Thank you!
Mike

Q: I am interested in investing in a company that is involved in Esports. Esports had 3 times the viewing audience of Netflix last year and it is skyrocketing in its customer usage around the world. Are there any companies that you are aware of that would be a good entry into this market?

Q: What is the most tax effective way to hold US stocks? I’m 32 with a good income, and have a full balanced tfsa holding Canadian stocks and etfs. I’m interested in building an account to hold US dividend aristocrats/Kings set up on auto deposit/drips as a set it and forget it style account. From everything I’ve read the dividend aristocrats generally have returned better than market average with good security and fairly stable growth, would you agree? I own my own companies so my income is structured to be very low tax, so I don’t need the break offered by the rrsps but I do have quite a bit of contribution room there. Would you recommend rrsp for US holdings for tax reduction, or is there a more efficient way?

Thanks

Q: I have had some bad experiences with REITs and am concerned about dilution and management teams that are looking out for their interests before investors. With that said, what REITs would you recommend that have strong management who are loyal to shareholders? Thanks.
