Q: Hello
I am considering investing with a robo advisor, Invisor.ca. They are certainly not WealthSimple in terms of size or AUM, but they offer portfolio choices that suit my needs.
My investments will be held at a third party custodian, Fidelity Clearing Canada and I am told that there is CIPF insurance in place.
My questions are as follows:
1) Is the CIPF insurance coverage upto $ 1 million?
2) Does the $1 million CIPF insurance cover all my accounts aggregated together i.e. RRSP,+TFSA+ non-registered etc. or is a it $1 million per each account?
3) Who is the investment dealer in this situation - Invisor or Fidelity?
4) In the event of investment dealer insolvency, how long would it typically take for my funds or holdings to be restored to me?
5) Would 100% of my investment be restored to me in the event of investment dealer insolvency, as long as I have up to $ 1 million with them?
Please deduct as many credits as appropriate
Thank you

Q: Hi Peter,
Kudos to you and Ryan and team for the great upgrades to the website.
It looks like tax-loss selling this year could present some interesting opportunities, especially in certain resource sectors like precious metals and natural gas that have been beaten down. I have been compiling my own buy list but would be interested in seeing what yours looks like.
Please provide three names in each of the following sectors that you would look at during the next few weeks of TLS: [1] precious metals, [2] energy, [3] general canadian small to mid cap.
Also can you comment on the period of tax-loss selling and how consistent this is year to year?)

Q: Where can you find information on Canadian warrants? the financial post warrant data seems to be no longer available, canadianwarrants.com hasn't been updated since 2015, and can't find much on the tsx website or globeinvestor. I would like to find something similar to what the financial post data showed listing all warrants with exercise price and and time left etc.
thanks Tom

Q: Hi - is it time to get out of the Canadian / American banks in general I have some good profits in Bank Of America + Citi Bank+ BNS . The American banks seem to be reacting negatively to the perceived upcoming tax reforms - They have mostly been down 5 days in a row. Thinking should get to the sidelines as far as the banks are concerned.

Q: Tuesday's Globe had an interesting article about wind power in the North Sea being developed by a company called "Orsted" (formerly Dong Energy) listed on the Danish stock exchange. Wind power seems to be gaining traction and gaining efficiencies. My questions...
1) What do you think about Orsted, any red flags?
2) Is growth projected at Orsted or is it more of a low growth dividend type of stock?
3) How would one go about buying shares in Orsted?
4) Is BEP.UN comparable to Orsted or are they too dissimilar?
Thanks
Jim

Q: My question is about at what percentage level of a total portfolio do you trim a half position. If you suggest trim a full position at 7 or 8% of a total portfolio, what percentage do you trim a half position? Is "the rule of thumb" still at 7 or 8% of a total portfolio or do you suggest a lower percentage?......Tom
