Investment Q&A

Q: When mutual funds and ETF'S show there annual returns are they net of all fees? So if a mutual fund has a higher MER but out performs a lower fee ETF it would be obviously better to go with the Mutual fund if history shows better returns even if it's only say 0.5 %. Not guaranting future returns of course. Is this why you like recommending Mawer funds!

Q: I'm curious to know how the current shareholders of T are going to benefit from the pending sale of the TI unit. I get that T winds up with a big bag of cash and call me grumpy but I'm guessing there'll be sizeable bonuses for the very capable execs who put this together. What does the common shareholder get, other than a stronger company? The company was already strong and much loved, enjoying a deep regulatory moat. What do they plan to do with the proceeds and will those plans likely ( or even maybe) cause share values to increase appreciably? Any chance the commoners who were owners all along will get a special dividend or a dividend increase or even a cup of coffee? Just cause we're swell guys, and gals. Grump, grump.

Q: Most coming out of COVID stocks have had a big run, and that includes Live Nation. It is near the stock price it had in early 2020. Naturally fundamentals do not look good, but the question is what pent up demand will be for concets, etc. Do you think it still has significant upside in 2021?

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan and Team,

As a post-covid play, would you have more confidence in Air Canada or Aritzia for a two-year horizon?

Thank you.
