Investment Q&A

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

Q: When you said: "Many current and day orders get cleared out overnight, only leaving long term orders in, which tend to have wider spreads." Do you mean that orders actually get filled when the stock market is closed?

Q: I have owned and been happy with this fund for several years now. Now I see it is involved in an ETF merger and "objective change with Wisdom tree. I am not clear on the funds status as it is not shown as a "terminating ETF" continuing as a new ETF, But is listed as an "objective change etf in the voting sheet. Does this fund carry on with the same name and ticker for trading? If the vote is not approved is it to be terminated as part of the "terminating etf's? Finally are the objective changes enough to hurt or help the funds prospects going forward? As always Thanks for the great service you provide.

Q: Hi,

I want to get my investments into more manageable ETFS. If you had to invest in only 3 ETFs for the Canadian market in the next few years, what would they be? Could you give me a list of some top contenders?

Q: Enwave's recent earnings (loss) statement contained a list of 10 Q1 '21 developments which look positive and it appears to have been winning contracts for its drying process in recent months. And there was another company which used similar technology that appears to have fallen by the wayside. Is what they are doing a significant development for the food - as well as weed - industry, and what do you consider its prospects are? Thanks.

Q: If one looks at TRP as of today (March 1st), it is actually trading at the same level as it was when COVID took hold (March of 2020), when it declined from ~ $75 to the low $50s. While I understand that the Keystone rejection was a blow to TRP, and has sunk the share price, and that the current investing environment basically shuns anything fossil fuel related, I seem to think that this is just a waiting game. If I remember correctly, TRP just increased their dividend by about 7%, and historically the dividend has grown by about 7.5% annually over the last 5 years. So I guess what I'm saying is while I understand the current market infatuation with all things green, it seems to me that TRP is undervalued, given that North America is still going to be drinking from the hydrocarbon spigot for some time. My question to you is whether or not I am missing something obvious, or if you agree with this thesis.

Q: Hi 5i,

To piggyback on the answer to Josh on recommendations for a TFSA:
We have BAM.A and GSY already. We can add to these stocks or in the short-term would cruise (CCL:US) or vacation booking stocks (SABR) that are cyclical and "hot" be preferred over BAM.A, GSY or KXS? It is a higher impact, shorter play theme (1 year or less).

Can you help us understand the selection of KXS? EBITDA and Sales Growth are forecasted to be lower next year though EPS getting a big boost next year. We can't wrap our head around the growth potential to have KXS in a TFSA. We now have this stock in an RRSP.

Thank you for your awesome service.

Cheers,
Debbie and Jerry

Q: Why before the market opens do I see many bid and ask amounts much higher and lower than the last price? Does this mean I shouldn't put in an order overnight because I could pay an inflated asking price?
