Investment Q&A

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

Q: I manage a portfolio for my mother and I am looking for an investment which will NOT generate any income (Interest or Dividends). This will be about 20% of her portfolio and reside in a non Registered account. I have come up with the two ETF's above to provide diversification in both CA and US. Would there be better alternatives I could consider in individual stocks or other ETF's. All other investment's are in TFSA and RRIF accounts and she will never need the capital. So this is a long term investment.

Q: Can you provide an update on RHT? It seems to have found a technical bottom since november and has made 3 successive higher lows as it moves up and down. What are the fundamentals like? How much of the fundamental strength that you initially saw still exists? Is this a dead (patient home monitoring type) company or just one that you lost patience with and could/should still go. I admit not to have looked into them beyond your recommendation so a summary of their potential catalysts and pitfalls over the next year would be amazing. Take a couple credits if needed to provide a full and thorough answer please.

Thanks

Q: Can you expand more on your most recent answer regarding AYX. "Some analysts believe it has a unique solution with little real competition, which of course we like. "

What exactly do they do? what solution are you referring to? 6 questions/answers only showing for on this company (as you noted it hasnt been public for long), 5 in the last month, 5i seems quite "bullish" on the stock so I am very intrigued. Thank you!

Q: I've held ALA for many years. Unfortunately I didn't get rid of it when they bought WGL. My question is about the % of revenue (or net income) that is expected from "utilities" and "energy infrastructure". Before the take over, they were about 60% energy infrastructure and 40% utilities. I can't find any information on the the proportions going forward.
Many thanks!

Q: My question is to do with more general knowledge of the products available, especially in some ETF's. My question is regarding Hedged to Canadian ETFs. When they say "Hedged", does that mean the Canadian Dollar is Hedged to the US $ in both directions, up and down? In effect, does the Canadian dollar become a US $? We would then not get the benefit from a Canadian $ that is dropping in relation to the US$, nor would a rise in the Canadian $ in relation to the US$ hurt us?

I hope you understand my meaning in this question and I thank you for your answer.
