Investment Q&A

Thanks,

Joe

Q: I'm 2 years from retirement. I will have a company pension. Within my dividend growth stock portfolio, I've already reached my dividend income goal.

With all the money printing and worldwide government debt, I am looking to increase my gold exposure in attempt to diversify one step further, and (hopefully) provide some investment protection. It may not be the '70's all over again, but hard assets seem to becoming more attractive.

I would like to increase my gold exposure to 20%.
I know weighting is a personal choice, and I know you tend to moreless limit weighting in a given stock to about 5%.
Currently I am at about 5% with CEF, and only about 1% with GDXJ - to potentially provide a bit of torque. I would like increase those weightings to 17% and 3% respectively. Is this reasonable? I don't know if there is really any benefit in splitting the bullion exposure to CEF / PHYS, do you?

How do my NTR (5%), CMP (1%), DBC (1%) commodity investments fit into this picture? Should they be part of the 20% or would you consider those as a separate sector, and thereby figured separately from the overall weighting?

Thanks.

Q: Your comments on their latest quarter please, thanks

Q: How do you suggest investing US funds to earn some interest that are held in a Canadian bank’s brokerage account for short term holding?

Thanks, Bryan

Q: I have a diversified equity portfolio (60 positions across most sectors, tilted towards higher quality equities, with overall ~5% gold equity allocation (XGD, FNV, AEM). I am interested in a single silver equity pick to comprise about 1% of overall equity portfolio. First, is this a reasonable plan in current investment environment? Second, which security would be a reasonable choice (based on investment newsletters I receive, I am considering one of SIL, PAAS, HL, or SLV; all NYSE). Feel free to suggest another security, if you favor another.

Q: Can you please common the reasons on recent weakness on the stock price？

Q: TD Waterhouse has BIP as a buy. It uses two valuation metrics. EV/EBITDA and P/FFO. Which is better in your opinion. Why don’t they use P/E. Final question, is there another company I could use to compare against?
Thanks.

Q: Hello:
I have another $10k to deploy in my TFSA with a goal of maximum long term growth without the tax man taking a chunk of those returns. What would be your top CDN pick today as well as top US pick? (Moderate risk is fine but no desire for gambling.)
Thanks!

Q: When you list the us stocks that you like you never mention microsoft, is there a reason you don't like microsoft as much of the other stocks.

Q: The 12 month low for bmo was $55.76 and for bns was $46.38 a difference of $9.38.
On aug 14 bmo closed at $78.03 and bns closed at $57.68 a difference of 20.35 in favour of bmo.
Do you think that a major reason for the weakness in bns is due to the coronaravirus in latin and South America and as it continues it to spread should I switch from bns into bmo or is it too late?

Q: Any information and your opinion about JAMF will be appreciated. Thanks.

Q: What characteristics about BAM.A has kept it close to the March lows? Some of it's subsidiaries have fully recovered. I think airlines and cruise ship stocks have recovered more than BAM.a

Q: I'm somewhat concerned that we'll see more COVID this fall and I wouldn't mind trimming my portfolio of positions less able to benefit (short term). Boyd Income Fund comes top of mind due to people driving (crashing) less and it is also one of my larger positions (4.5%) but also still up (50%). Can you provide me with a quick note on how they've been doing this year (business, not stock price) and how significantly their revenues have been impacted? What is their outlook like?

Honestly, they seem to me to have held up better than I might have expected...

Cam.
