Investment Q&A

Q: when does td report quarterly earnings?

Q: I have pretty much thought of GUD as a long, long term hold, and one that would be good to have in a market crisis when they could put their cash to work efficiently. But there it was and they didn't. Its starting to feel like aside from being generally close to book value, there is not much to see here. Have you had reason to rethink your position on GUD? Thank-you.

Q: Hello 5i,
I don't know if you have any expertise in old stock certificates but I thought I would run this by you just to see. I just opened an old box in an inheritence that we recently received and it looks a bit like someone was dreaming of making it rich: a series of old mining stocks. I have done a quick internet search but have found nothing. I don't know if you know if there is any simple way of dealing with this. They have names like: Atlas Chibougamau Mines Limited, Galloway Chibougamau Mines Limeted, beresford Lake Mines Limited, Conro Devopment Corporation Limited ( another Quebec mine), Laval Quebec Mines Limited,Peninsular Petroleum Limited, Alliance Mining and Securities Limited. As I say, this is not your area but maybe you have some ideas. thanks

Q: I have $20,000 in CBO. Because I thought it pays out interest I have been keeping it in my TFSA account. Should I put it in my unregistered account and next year replace it with LNF which, hopefully will grow with a ten year outlook?

Q: Which EFT, preferably traded in Canada TSX would fit/ represent the Basic Materials Sector ?

Q: FSZ trades exdividend today. If I purchase stock today do I receive the dividend or does the seller receive the dividend? Thx

Q: Does it matter price-wise if you buy a stock before/after the dividend is paid? Is it the same answer if you buy before/after it goes ex-dividend? I am a long term investor so wondering if there is any significant savings to trying to time the purchase a bit?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi,
When you provide a % allocated to gold, should we add our stocks and bullion together?
For example, I own KL and WM in terms of stocks and also PHYS. I always see the stocks as an type of investment and PHYS as another (commodity/currency) and don't really add them together when looking at the % of the portfolio. is this a mistake?
I know they are closely linked but would appreciate your thoughts on how investors should view these when setting up their portfolios.
Thanks,
Dan

Q: IBI has a good looking balance sheet and seems to be in a business with lots of potential upside. However, their long-term chart is abysmal. Given their predicted growth prospects, is this a reasonable, low-key speculation for the next 3 years?
