Investment Q&A

Q: I know its hard to compare these companies but do you have a preference between Banco Santander, Lloyds or Fiera Capital? Focus on value and dividend growth for a long term investor.

Q: Do you like the acquisition that CPH made today? How safe is it to buy shares at this, 52 week low? Does the potential look good to you?

Q: I have SPY and VIG and VUN for the US markets
I also have some US mutual funds which I intend to liquidate sometime in the next 12-18 months
Could you give me an opinion in general about the US market ?
since Jan there has been a pull back, Don Vialoux a few months ago hinted that
there could be pull back in the next few months
thanks
Michael

Q: Good day,
If I have money in a US stock in a US TFSA account, sell the stock and move it to a CAD stock TFSA account ( same banking institution) or visa versa , is there any issues with over contribution? I am with TD if that is relevant.
Thanks,
Paul

Q: I currently don't have any REIT exposure and think I should focus on a broad ETF for more safety and diversification as opposed to some of the smaller cap REIT's I have previously held although they do have much higher yields I am concerned about the risk exposure. Would this be a good time to start a position in ZRE and/or do you have another suggestion?
Thanks,
Craig

Q: In a follow up to your XHY answer yesterday which I am interested in adding, would ZHY be a suitable replacement for that ticker? Why might now be a good time to add bonds to my portfolio? I currently have no exposure as well.
Thanks!
Craig

Q: Hi, Can you give me a couple of suggestions for an Asian mutual fund or ETF, ex Japan, available in Canadian dollars? I'm definitely not adverse to a mutual fund.

Thank You

Q: To what extent do you see Alphabet being caught upon the same issues surrounding Facebook at the present and in the near future? Would you recommend lightening a 4.6% GOOGL position for the near term, similar to your FB comments to Brian on March 19?

Q: Greetings:
In a recent answer you commented that- " This is a classic PUMP AND
DUMP scenario" I can't recall the date or the stock. If you can, please advise in your answer. I read about a so called " ADVISOR ", who runs an investment service. This individual sends out emails to members with an opinion extolling mostly virtues of small cap stocks. It is followed by
several successive emails pumping the stocks. Then when asked later
about a particular stock invariably the answer is " I no longer follow it "
Never indicates that it has been sold. This is done over and over again.
Is this type of behavior illegal.? I have not mentioned any names as is
obvious, and would appreciate your opinion, so all of your members
will be aware of what they might get involved in. I would also appreciate
comments from the membership.
Thanks for all your help.
BEN.

Thanks. Joe

Q: Buy Sell or Hold? Thank you, Gerry

Q: I have a small amount of exposure to Facebook through BST and TDB422, but otherwise do not own the stock directly. Do you think that this dip would be a good time to buy? Is there value in the stock at $165.00, to an investor not over-exposed to the sector.

Thank you!

Which 5 management teams are currently the best capital allocators in your view. I am guessing CSU would be up there. Who else?

Q: In trying to determine whether ATD is now a buying opportunity. In terms other than " EBITDA was a big miss " and more along the lines of " We didn't sell any milk because the fridge wasn't turned on " . Why was there such a big miss ?
