Investment Q&A

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

Q: Further to the question from Terrance this morning, TD is not overbought according to RSI today. It is currently at about 61, really, a pretty good score. This number changes daily and, like any of the other momentum indicators, should not be considered a buy or sell signal in isolation.
I agree with 5i, technical analysis is another tool along with fundamental analysis. But, don't buy anything unless the fundamentals are favourable (that's why I subscrible to i5 Research). And, don't worry about the technicals unless you understand the whole picture.

Q: Would loading up a TFSA with equally with 3 Cdn banks be a reasonable start for a 29 year old beginning investor? In the stupid question category: what does P & L stand for in the model portfolios? My racked brain has come up with only incomprehensible answers. Thank you.

Q: Hello Peter
I have brokerage accounts at two large full-service brokerages [Scotia McLeod, and National Bank Financial] and one at TD Waterhouse. I use the TD Waterhouse one with the low commissions for smaller positions and for ones I may expect to trade.

To simplify things I am considering consolidating the two full-service ones into one account, however I worry that then I may have too much riding on the solvency of a single bank, and in view of possible troubles and the possibility of "bail-ins" as happened in Cyprus and in several other European countries, maybe I am better spreading the risk.

I understand that the Government of Canada has already passed into law the regulations for the bail-in of an insolvent bank whereby the depositors are the losers. What do you think?
Thankyou........ Paul

Q: I am overweight with BNS in my rrsp account . I am prepared to sell
500 shares at $67.00 Is there any advantage in trying to do a covered call while i wait for the share to reach $67.00 and if so is there a risk I might have to
settle on a price below $67. I have never used an option in the past and want to know if it might be feasible in this instance .
Also I really liked the video did on the most popular 5 questions . It was very well done , relevant , clear , and brief . Hope more will follow ., When will the revised model portfolio be released . Thanks Rick

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
Just wondering if you could comment on the recent decline in Bank of Internet (BOFI) stock. I am currently slightly below my break even point. It is close to a RSI of 30. Would this be a good time to sell or buy?

Q: I know you do not cover us stocks , however your opinion is valued.
I own GNW 5% of my portfolio, which has done fairly well over the last couple years. Where do you see GNW in the next 4 years. Is it worth holding or take profits and move on .

Thanks for your exceptional service.

Q: Hello Peter....This question is about E-L Financial (ELF-t). The 2013 year end announcement says "E-L Financial's net equity value per Common Share at December 31, 2013 was $872.45." But the price share remains at $700. (Most days the volume is light, minimal but today was an exemption, totalled 23,190.) I thought the trading price would ri$e. Would appreciate your take about the reasons it isn't ramping up......Tom M
