Investment Q&A

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

Q: Just a quick question before I click the "transfer dollar" button.
If US interest rates go up as predicted will that weaken the CDN Dollar? Some "experts" on BNN are saying 70 cents for CDN Dollar.

Thank You

Q: Hello and Good Afternoon: I have held PWF and PWO for a number of years. I am wondering why the sell-off in the stocks is so marked in your opinion. I know there is some general market malaise that accounts for some of it, but I'm also wondering whether or not the pressure that's being put on Mutual Fund companies (i.e. IGM) is the other factor at play here. I would appreciate your opinion and also whether or not you feel that they represent a positive buying opportunity.

Thanks guys

Q: Hi team,
Poydras just released it's Q2 numbers which looked strong and to be on the right path.However, the share price has languished at a 52 week low and there does not seem to be any catalyst moving the stock price in the right direction.There also seems to be a rumour about a ten for one stock consolidation. What would be your one to two year outlook on this company?
Thank you and have a good day .

Q: Some specifics on phm.

They did an offering a bit before the fuss.
1. Was the offering @ $1.50?
2. I believe there were restrictions on selling which I believe come off September 8. Is this correct?

3. Is it likely that some who bought the offering would be upset enough to sell at that time even though at a loss?

4. If they are selling, is it likely they would sell the first day possible or try to spread it out?

5. If spread out ,over what period?

Q: Hello 5i Team,

What do you know about this security? It is listed in Tsx but in US dollars! My discount broker told me I can buy the shares on line but I can't sell them myself. I have to go through the broker because of the U.S. pricing. Will it be a good diversification in a portfolio and what is the growth prospect? Thanks as always. Rossana.
