Investment Q&A

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

Q: I believe that 5i puts more faith in Point and Figure charts than just about any other technical indicator; when the Diamonds - DIA - were at $165 last week the bearish price objective was $151, which was met last Monday. Currently stockcharts.com has a bearish target of $123 which would imply a further downside from here of over 4000 points on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The SPY target is $153, almost as bad in % terms. Any comment on these observations? Also how much use are P&F targets on indexes vs. individual securities? Thanks, J.

Q: I am panning to add VGH to my TFSA. The distribution history on the vanguard website shows no eligible dividends. Does that mean that there would be no US withholding tax on this investment, as I thought that the tax only applies to eligible dividends.

Q: After its recent price drop, which seems to have been more market related, the valuation of SIMO looks attractive (ROE=19%, no long term debt, P/E=12.8, Forward P/E = 9 and a 2.36 % dividend). Would you agree?

Q: With the recent downturn would Google or Apple be a good company to pick up.

Google seems like a company you can buy and hold onto for a very long time.

I understand US exposure isn't your focus, but you do recommend exposure to various markets for diversification.

Thanks,

Colin.

Q: I think I remember you mentioned this company in a recent response, but I can't find it. Could I please get your comments on the stock, both positives and negatives, and would you call it a "strong buy" if you still used language like that. Thanks.

Thank You

Q: Hi. I own this ETF and like it at this stage because it is hedged. Even though our dollar is still going down, I figure that we should be close to the end of the spectrum. What do think of this product? Would you have another product - ETF or mutual fund - to suggest for exposure to the US with the hedge component. As a rule, do US mutual funds managers use hedging? Thanks for the good service.
