Q: I bought these ETF's a couple of years ago for diversification purposes. They have not performed well and I am wondering if I should keep them or move on and forget about diversifying outside of North America. I do not like exchange risk.
Q: For a retiree, does it make sense to invest all in VBAL or might you supplement VBAL with some additional ETFs along with some individual income/growth stocks?
Q: Hi Peter & Ryan, I’m very light in the healthcare sector after recently selling JNJ. I rely on dividends to supplement my pension income and was looking at DR:CA, EXE:CA and SIA:CA. Can you please comment on each of these, quality of the companies, management, safety of the dividend etc. Feel free to suggest other names not listed Canadian or US. Dividend payers preferred. ( I already hold csh.un and used to own sis). Thanks. Mario
Q: Hello and thank you. I’d like to add some exposure to video gaming in my portfolio. Would you have any concerns starting a new 5% position in GAMR at this point for a 10 plus year hold? This would keep my tech targets within limits I’m comfortable with.
Q: What is your view of this company currently? I know they miss their numbers at least half the time should we be expecting this again today after they report? I currently have 1000 shares and I am down about 35% would you average down? I like the dividend and this holding sits in an RRSP account with a long time horizon. Thanks as always.
Q: I would appreciate your advice upon IPGP. I have held this stock for a number of years and still show a small profit of 18%. However it has declined severely in the past year and is very volatile. Would you continue to hold? If not, would you suggest a couple of possible replacements.
Thanks for your help.
Q: This name had a run up to about $107 (when I bought) and has since pulled back. They announce earnings next week. Any idea why it’s down other than general market issues? It makes me concerned that it’s going down so much prior to earnings release. Should I sell or hold? It’s in my rrsp so should be long term but I have an aversion to holding a losing position and don’t know what to do. Thanks.
Q: Good Morning,
I'm trying to find some info on Epic Games that owns Fortnite? I think Epic is a private company however I believe that Tencent Holdings out of China owns 40% of them? Is TME on the US exchange the ADR that I am looking for? Trades around $14/share? Also any thoughts on their video game business and is this a good way to play it?
Thank-you
Q: Just to round out my portfolio a little I hold 2 REITs - CAR.UN and GRT.UN. It seems the whole REIT sector has been uneventful this year. With these two I'm above water but other than collecting the monthly payouts, there have been no growth.
Do you think the rate cut in the U.S. should/will give this sector a boost? I'm thinking about flipping these two REITs for something that represents a better balance between yield and growth (suggestion if any). Your recommendations/opinions are much welcomed. Thanks.
