Investment Q&A

Q: Hello to all of you

MDF Commerce announced another bought deal on February 23 at 14.50 per share, the deal is now closed, what do you think about it?

I have had a fairly large position in this company for the past 5 years and am in a slight loss right now, I am wondering if I should continue to be patient with it, I saw in other questions and answers that you didn't like this company that much. I am a new trial member and I have to say I really like what I find with you.

Thank you very much.

Forgive me if my English is poor.

Q: Hello,

I sold my shares in Alphabet a few months back (which I now regret!) and have some U.S. cash sitting in my RRSP account. I have purchased SBUX and MSFT but want to add some U.S. holdings. I am near retirement, however have a DB pension plan so I can tolerate average to above average risk. I would appreciate your suggestions.

Thank you!

Q: Wondering if for maximum growth, should I continue to own NVDA or switch to GOOG. Own in TFSA and enjoy some high risk since the low risk income stocks are in cash account. Thanks so much.

Q: Can you please give me your thoughts on what stocks or ETF's you like in the semiconductor space? Thanks

Q: I have held CVS for approx. 6 months and virtually it is flat. There have been many recommendations from the street however I have 22,000.00 which seems to be dead money. Should I sell and buy some tech stock like Oracle or Taiwan semiconductor. Do you have a suggestion other than these 2?
Cheers, Doug

Q: A little while back, I saw some info on CTS and thought to start a position; I purchased about 0.5% weight of my equity portfolio., and I was thinking of adding. I currently have CSU at about 3.75% weight. I have no TOI, which. has been favourably mentioned here. Some time ago I realized I was overdiversifies and had too many holdings; I have been reducing the overall number of positions held; it is no longer as big a problem but still could do with some more reduction over time. With all that in mind:
1. Do you see CSU and TOI as one position, or are they sufficiently different to count as 2?
2. If you were me, would you simply sell CTS and add to CSU?
3. Sell CTS & some CSU and add TOI?
4. Sell some CSU and add to CTS?
5. Sell a bit more CSU and add to CTS and buy some TOI?
thanks for your excellent service.

Q: At one time I owned CSU (bought at $110 and sold at $600) and regretted the decision ever since. The money was needed for a real estate purchase in Toronto. I purchased SHOP at $40 and I have not sold any shares. I was considering selling 50% of my SHOP and buying CSU for a long term hold.
Many thanks for your comments.
