Investment Q&A

Q: Would appreciate your thoughts on what types or specific investments to hold in the three kinds of accounts: investment, tax free savings and registered retirement savings.
Would the selection of investments change based on age or time perspective (long range vs. short range) ?
This could involve dividend rate, growth, taxation issues, demographic and technology changes, climate perspectives, ESG considerations or other factors.
Thank you for your investing insights.

Q: Some of our GICS have come due. I went on to buy new ones and was shocked at how low the rates are... 0.8 was the highest I could find for a 1 year. I was thinking about buying the PSA ETF instead until rates go up. It's only slightly less at 0.6 and can be sold at any time . What do you think of this strategy? Any risks with PSA that I'm not aware of?

Q: Don’t you think the increase in the MRK stock price is excessive given that the benefits were shown in unvaccinated people which is a shrinking market because more and more people are vaccinated and that this MRK news release shouldn’t be a negative for Covid vaccine manufacturers like MRNA…isn’t MRNA a screaming buy now. Isn’t the market misunderstanding the news release?

Q: NVEI's share price hit just under $180 in mid-September and has been sliding back down ever since, to the current $140 level. From a TA standpoint where is the very bottom support price? As well, I feel like locking in my gains at the current $140 level and buy back later, if the support level is not reached yet. Do you recommend that maneuver? Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,

When I try to estimate a stocks 12 month target price I assume a multiple and growth. My eventual target price usually ends up lower than what most analysts calculate. Do most analysts use current multiples even thought there may be short term multiple expansion? The overall market especially in the US seems to have experienced significant multiple expansion in the last couple of years. I would appreciate your thoughts on how analysts arrive at their target prices and forecasts. (they seem to be an optimistic bunch)

thanks
