Investment Q&A

Q: Tech stocks have taken a beating over the last two months, due to high valuations and a shift to value stocks. Do you foresee a continuation of this trend into tax loss selling season and further drops, then finally bottoming out into the new year, or are we now dealing with just normal volatility?

Q: TransAlta renewables seems to have good momentum and Warren Buffett has bought into the company. A good yield. Do you see it as a good income stock with a bit of growth, or would BAM be better. I already own Algonquin Power.

Q: I just read Ryan's article on Direct Indexing and ETF's and basically that 0$ trade commissions with brokerage houses impact on this. I have never used a brokerage house and am not a frequent trader. What brokerage house(s) do you recommend?
What are the risks, disadvantages ( if any) compared to using a bank. How do they make their money then?
Regards
Kathy

Q: Your thoughts please -

Q: What's with this TRI CEO search story? The company is doing a candidate search and yet the TRI Board claims to fully support the CEO. Is this company really that dysfunctional? What going on?

Q: Just read your article on Direct Indexing and the one thing you did not mention is, should a person presently owning a number of ETF's be concerned or will I eventually sell them off and buy into Direct Indexing in order to save costs?

Q: A friend of mine who works in Venture Capital recently told me about a small tech fund that was being managed by Damien Leonard, Mark Leonard's son. The crazy part - it's the old PineTree Capital, that terrible mutual fund-like investment product that would buy speculative mining companies and ruin shareholder capital. The Leonard family home office (incl. some of Mark's cash) now owns over 30% of the company. Upon doing some research, it looks like the company is trading at a 25% discount to book value although the new tech investments are not disclosed.

What are your thoughts? Would this be an appropriate 1% position (despite low liquidity) knowing that very few people understand investing in software companies like Mark Leonard, Damien's biggest mentor?

Q: I am interested in small and mid cap companies involved in ONLINE gaming. With the trend in new forms of gaming (legalized sport betting & E- Sports, pending), what do you have on your radar?
