Investment Q&A

Q: I am interested in both of these ETFs to replace PSA as my savings account. My understanding is that rather than the distributions being taxed as interest as in the PSA the earnings are reinvested and NAV increases accordingly and when I need money sales of units at higher prices are taxed as Capital Gains.
When reading the Horizons website both of these ETFs have suspended sales of new subscriptions. As these ETFs continue to trade am I correct that this will result in market prices being increasingly inflated over NAV. The website also goes on to say that it does not recommend purchasing units when price exceeds NAV.
Can u clarify what this all means and am I ok to purchase these ETFs to use as a savings account to place temporary excess funds.

Q: Selling US securities held in my RIF I need to find a temporary home for US cash pending reinvestment.
I can't seem to find an ETF similar to Purpose (PSU.U) listed in the US. Am I missing something?
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i and Peter,
In a show down between DSG and TRI which company would you pick for the largest overall return for the next 5 - 10 years. I like both companies and having a tough time deciding. The past 5 years their CAGR share price (including TRI's dividend) has been DSG - 22.6% and TRI - 24.3%.

Q: Hi 5i,

In Sept 22 you gave NFI a "B" rating. You commented that it is a little on the risky side.

Do you think the Balance Sheet and Cash Flow are strong enough for an investment in their convertible debenture (NFI.DB) which is due in 2027? I realize their would be no conversion possibility with the bond.

Thanks for your opinion on NFI.

Q: Hi,

I searched your questions database and couldn't find anything related to this equity. I know it's small cap but it has had a fascinating roller coaster history. I recently purchased it. Do you see any upside?

Q: In a prior question you mentioned that Goeasy's "funding may slow down or cost more if investors get nervous in general, but it can't really experience a 'run' on current funding like a small bank can". I am trying to understand why Goeasy can't experience a 'run'. What is different with this company? You had also mentioned that it has a different funding base. Thank You.

Q: Jerry Javasky, former manager of the formerly very successful (I have no idea of its current status) Ivy Foreign Equity fund, was a “fan” of FITB. Does the recent dramatic selloff make it the screaming “buy” for dividend investors I perceive it to be?

Q: I would appreciate your opinion on Ivanhoe's recent earnings report. To this layperson, they appear very strong. If a person is a long-term copper bull, would you be comfortable stepping in here, market uncertainty notwithstanding?
