Investment Q&A

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

Q: What do you think about Strathbridge funds? As a retired income investor I like covered call funds as I do not mind missing the big upside for stead and reliable income. Their finds seem small and their 1.1% fee seems high for investing in blue chip TSX stocks but the &+% return is attractive.They say they us a propriety method of doing covered calls.
Dont ask many questions but am an avid reader of everyone elses.
Thanks for the great service.

Q: Hello Peter,
With the recent gains, i reduced my chartwell residences to 4% from 8% weighting. I was thinking of reducing it to 2% and using the proceeds to buy Sienna Senior Living. Do you think this is a good switch or the risk reward is better by simply keeping chartwell and collect the dividends. I am thinking of doing this as chartwell has gone up quite a bit this year. Thanks

Q: Hello 5i
Would you please comment on what is going on with TCN these days. Seems to be weak and not participating with market up swings. It has been in a downtrend since Aug2015 a recent purchase has me underwater and the stock price appears to be heading back to the 2016 lows.
Has something happened to this stock from the viewpoint of major investors - making it a sell?
Thanks
Dave

Q: Hello,

I am looking to get some exposure in emerging markets. I currently own only Canadian and US equity. I am looking into ETFs, more specifically; XAW, XEF, VEE, amongst others. I'm looking to invest moderate to long term.

Doing you have a preference amongst those, or other suggestions? Secondly, do you think the timing is right, especially with respects to China? And finally, which countries/continents would you have a preference for?

Thank you

Q: Hi Peter,

Much enjoyed your segment on BNN.

I bought some PIH shares a few days ago and was delighted with the bump on very positive earnings report two days ago. The only issue I had with this stock is that it does not have much liquidity. With a good balance sheet, great earnings and an excellent market niche going forward, is it likely to get more attention from analysts and greater liquidity? Also, are you considering it for the 5i growth portfolio?

Q: Good morning Team. It is 9:44 Tues morn and both POW and SLF are climbing. I would have thought the opposite. I own approx 1.75% of each. Both are under for me but should I shave or sell one before they begin ???? to drop as I suspect they will??? Also ..may I suggest that all of us and 5i put the day and approx time in the Q and A as often we dont know when a question was asked and sometimes timing is important. Just a thought..Much thanks as always
