Investment Q&A

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

Q: It’s RRSP season. I am very overweight the US market (and tech) and with the declining dollar, I am considering buying a Canadian security.

Can you list your 5 favourite Canadian Picks for a Canadian RRSP. I already own GSY, Propel, TVK. Considering CNQ as I have no energy exposure.

You can be aggressive or conservative in your recommendations. I have no preference as to market cap or sector.

Please rank your favourites.

Thank you.

Q: I owned CLS in 2000 and unfortunately in 2001 and rode the dot com bust all the way down. What is different, if anything, this time around? My 1/4 position is now a 1/2 position, thank you, but it has gone up too high too fast, and I have a long memory. At these levels is it a buy, hold, or sell? Or is it a keep your finger on the trigger, which is not my preferred buy and hold strategy. How will I know when the tide is turning or turned?

Not worried about size of company nor what sector they are in could you suggest 5 Canadian and 5 American companies that fit the bill.

Do you have 2 CDN and 2 US stocks for a TFSA 3 year plus hold that you feel will substantially outperform LMN.

Thanjs,
