Investment Q&A

Q: At what price point would you be a buyer of TD for a long term hold? And do you think given the current difficulties, the dividend will hold/grow?

Q: I am looking at hedged ETF's and specifically VSP. I was interested to see how well the ETF tracked the index and found that over a 5 year time frame - it underperformed by about 11%. (Total return for VSP is 81.0% and SPX is 93.33% - The Vanguard US ETF - VOO tracks SPX almost exactly.)

I am assuming that this underperformance is because the hedging strategy is not perfect?? .......or does the 11% difference represent the cost of hedging?? Also - would other hedged ETF's have similar comparisons??
Thanks

Q: Hello, thank you for your answer on the VGAB ETF. VGAB has about 50% of its holdings in the US, can you recommend CAN$ bond ETFs with 100% holdings in the US? Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,

For a US ETF in a non-registered account, would it be more tax efficient to hold HXS because it doesn't pay a distribution, versus ZSP which does? Would you recommend ZSP over HXS for any particular reason?

Thanks

Q: I unfortunately own GXE and learned from this site that around 2/3 of the company will be disposed of in early 2025. The paper napkin math indicates that the current market price should be around 90 cents per share (offer of 61 cents for 2/3 of the company plus around 30 cents for the 1/3 that will be transferred to Newco).
How is the current price only 54 cents and dropping? Even the cash offer of 61 cents is notably higher while Newco is valued at zero. What am I missing?

Q: First off thanks for encouraging me in June to take a position in TKN
I'm up 33% in 6 months, so quite happy. Question is do you see TKN as a good medium to long term hold going forward?

Thanks for the help

Q: Greetings:
I have held a position in the above for quite a while. When I research the holdings, they will only display the top 10 holdings. Many funds display the top 10 and in the event that more is desired, it will reveal it. How can I possibly access more of the holdings?
Thanks, BEN.

Q: My question is on trimming winning stocks. You will often comment on this question that it is about the size of the stock in relation to your portfolio. I have a number of stocks that are half positions which are up 100-200% so now are almost full positions so I don't "need" to trim them. But I'm often tempted to trim at a new high to take some profits with the idea of re-buying on a pullback. I realize this is market timing so I hesitate, but I've also seen thousands of dollars disappear on a downturn. I have bought some stocks I think of as longer term trades so I have sold them after a profit and it has felt good to cement that profit so to speak. But some stocks like Apple, or BN that I see as more core holdings -with these type of stocks do I trim or just leave them, let them run and buy more on a pullback with new money presuming I have more. Any further articles on this would be appreciated as well. Thank you!

Q: With the outlook for small caps promising, what ETFs would you recommend...Canadian and US.
Thanks
