Investment Q&A

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

Q: PIF has taken it on the chin in the last coupld of days. The only news I see is the final cancellation of the proposed Nicaraguan canal project. Do you see other news that relates to the company? Is the cancellation of the Nicaraguan canal actually germaine to the situtation for PIF or is this just a case of long-distance investors getting jittery on any local bad news? Thaqnk-you.

Q: I bought MFI for a variety of shorter term and medium term reasons including African swine flu in China and Asia affecting the price of pork and their aggressive move into plant protein seemingly still at an opportune time overall. The recent earnings seem to confirm not only this, but very good news overall for an otherwise steady eddy type business. Long intro I know, but how do you see earnings and the outlook overall for a longer term hold? Thank-you.

Q: Time to rebalance my portfolio. BCE has increased to almost 7% of my portfolio (4% in RRSP and 3% in Investment accounts). Is this too overweight and should I trim back? Which account, or both, and by how much? Can you suggest another communications/telecom stock to redeploy the funds? I also own Verizon at about a 1% of portfolio holding.

I am primarily a conservative investor, a few years from retirement, with a tilt to growing dividends.

Many thanks!

Q: Hi 5i,
I am looking for your advice on what to buy for a new TFSA (full $63,500 deposit) at this time. The funds in this account will be required in the next 3 to 5 years. Income and growth are the objectives, within the requirement to preserve capital. Would you allocate your recommendations equally or ? Thanks!
