Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good evening
In the last two weeks at least three experts recommended either to sell or not to buy TRI. One company that recommended shorting the TRI stock provided the following reason: "Uncertainty surrounding the plan to return $9,000,000,000 to TRI shareholders through a substantial issuer bid.
I own this stock for ten years.
Can you please advise me as to what is a substantial issuer bid and how this affects negatively the common shareholders.
Do you recommend that I sell TRI or should I continue to hold it?
As always I appreciate your insight.

Q: You recently answered another question in the following words.
you may be best served by a well-diversified conservative (or even balanced) portfolio. For your equity component (what ever allocation you decide) stay focused on large-cap dividend payers and weight defensive sectors generously.

If I want to stay with Canadian stocks only, please name your top 10 stocks that would fit this bill.

Thanks.
