Investment Q&A

Q: From an investment perspective, is the primary reason to invest in a real return bond to receive the inflation-adjusted value of the principal at maturity to maintain purchasing power, and not so much to receive the "real" interest rate payout on invested capital along the way?

If this is so, is it better to hold individual bonds with fixed maturities of shorter duration rather than an ETF like ZRR where the value fluctuates with the perceived interest rate environment, and purchasing power isn't preserved because it never actually matures?

Q: Cnbc headlines: market rallies are based onHOPE of a cure by Gilead. Nothing is conclusive?
Thought hope was not a good investing strategy. Also us gdp contracted by 4.8% in 1st quarter 2020. So fundamentals where far from good to begin with.
When do you think the market will go back to fundamentals?
This could be the reason for 5 trillion on the sideline?
Your view would be most appreciated.
Thanks!

Q: Hello dear team,
Hope you are well and had the chance to enjoy some good weather.
What are your thoughts on this company ?
my known facts(hope they are right)
They have 5 ODD with the FDA and some of them are on the fast track to be commercialized ?
they are partner with one if not the biggest mexico pharma (which is also World wide?) for the commercialization of Cauzma ?
they recently raised something like 10 000 000 $
Everything seems to be going well and on track with the company and they have been delivering.

How do you think they could perform and in how long you think they will start to benefit from their hard work ?
how do you think this company could do in 5 years, if we do an optimistic and a pessimist scenario.

thank you for your time and response.
stay safe,

Q: I hope you are all well and adapting to our new reality. I realize this is a US Closed End Fund , my apologizes. I have held it for some time in a rrif for income as well as growth I also hold XLK and a few canadian Tech stocks in that sector. It provides an ample dividend and I gain more upside from the others. Your thoughts?

Q: I still own wild and have great confidence in the former Disney executive changing things around. They own the family channel and are coming out with a great line up of movies in May—Good for all of us isolating at home. Do they make money by having more subscribers? How else do they make money? I thing at .80 cents this stock could be a multi bagger if things go right. What do you think.

Q: Hi Team,
Just to comment on risky short term trading vs long term view. Tuesday Apr 28, during trading hours, Ford was up near 4% to the close while Google was down about 4% all moved along with broad index, looks like 8% trade move in between, right after the close, Ford came out with projection of revenue down X billions in next Q, while GOOG put out "ONLY" 13% on revenue growth in the past Q, also sticking with share buybacks. share of Google are up 9% next day. Ford was at same as yesterday close, could have crashed more if.... Wondered WHO are the "INVESTORS " traded or made those moves, imagined one sold Google on the way down and bought Ford on the day up 24 hours ago. FOMO or Logical ?
