Investment Q&A

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

Q: Two questions:

I read this morning about Canfor shutting down a BC interior mill due to lack of raw log inventory and processing costs. The article indicated that more mill shutdowns in BC will be inevitable due to the same factors.

Does WEF have a sufficiently large inventory of harvestable trees to avoid shutting down any of their mills in the foreseeable future? What about the processing costs at their mills. Are they at the lower cost end compared to other mills?

Thanks as always
Peter

Q: I have cash sitting in most of my accounts. I am retired and would like to put some of this cash to work for me. I don't even think my bank is providing interest on some of this cash. I have DRIPs in several bank stocks and telecommunication companies. Can you suggest some ETFs that might be useful here. I am interested primarily in ex-Canada and in seem of the other industries besides financial and telecommunications unless they are based outside of Canada. Thanks.

Q: Could you please offer an opinion on Skechers,
particularly in the context of recent softness for the likes of Nike and Foot Locker? I'm thinking there's a good match-up (like Dollarama) for a rebounding theme of "thrift", as well as a growing demographic tail-wind provided by an aging
population in much of the world. Anecdotally,
the local outlet store is noticeably busier, with line-ups at the cashier on occasion. Thank you.
