Investment Q&A

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

Q: I currently hold very little gold exposure and would like your recommendation on what to buy to establish a full position. Also are there two or 3 junior mining companies on your radar for a small "exploratory" position? Thanks very much.

Q: My small cap portfolio currently consists of Macro Enterprise, Sangoma Technologies, and Gran Columbia Gold. I’m looking for 1-2 more niche small cap names to add to that list. Are there a couple others that interest you right now? Thanks.

Q: Hi, I tend to shy away from companies that have ROC , because I do my own taxes and cannot be bothered with figuring out my capital gain or loss with ROC.
Are a lot more companies relying on ROC to keep investors happy with higher yields? Not sure which companies actually use it, they don’t really tell you. And does my bank broker service (investors edge) calculate my average cost when I sell?
I have no problem doing my own taxes and do not want to pay $250+ because of ROC
Your thoughts, thanks

Q: I'm thinking of investing in this company. Considering the slow down in the economy, consumer high debt in Canada and possible upcoming recession, I think this is one of the few consumer discretionary companies that might not be too affected. Your thoughts on this company, please.
Many thanks for your great service!

Q: I was looking for some Canadian blue chip shares to buy as long-term holds. Since both financials and energy have not done well in Canada in recent years I had to look outside those sectors. What is your opinion on these candidates? Any additional suggestions? Thank you as usual four your valuable advice.

Q: Hi 5i,

I am new to your service and was wondering if I should buy all the securities listed in the model portfolio at one time or should I ease into them somehow? Any guidance/direction on this would be appreciated.

Thanks so much
