Investment Q&A

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

Q: AYX is down. Does not seem to be recovering. I saw someone else had written in a few days ago. Me being a holder - would you classify it as a buy, sell or hold?
EIDX never seems to have a down day - up considerably this year. I usually wait for a stock to have a down day or two before purchasing - this stock doesn't seem to do that. Would you recommend it? Would you buy it now or wait for a hesitation in it? Thank you. Dennis

Q: Can you rank the blow stocks from as either a buy or a sell? Any of those 3 you feel particularly strong about either way?
Algonquin Power
Altagas
Stantec

Also, I'm looking to swap H&R Reit for a better one (either Industrial or Multi-family focused)... is there a particular REIT you like best? H&R has too much retail and office imo.

Thank you and please feel free to deduct 2 question points since this is two questions.

Q: FYI - Re Shopify insider sales by COO. Check out "canadianinsider.com" for a good view of options and rights at very low prices that were exercised recently. ($6.22 US options and $0.152 US rights) A sweet deal when selling at ~ $370.00 US.
I find the website very informative and have it bookmarked.

Q: Hello 5i team,.
I have MX and TFII in my margin account that I'm thinking of selling to claim the capital loss.
Do you expect these two stock prices to go up significantly in the next 30 days?
Would you advise to buy them back after the 30 days?
Thanks

Q: Recently, guests on BNN have suggested that these stocks are getting very rich and value could be found in other stocks. Do you agree and also could you recommend 2-3 US stocks that show growth going forward and would be a long term hold.

Thanks

Dave.

Q: Tagged this question to SYZ but it could apply to any listed situation. I'm looking for some trader perspective.

SYZ is relatively illiquid, TSX Venture listed and spreads between bid & ask sometimes wide. Not certain but think the market maker is Haywood brokerage house #62. Normal Course Issuer Bid is in place and I believe BMO brokerage is conducting that.

Recently I looked at live quotes showing visible market depth. Bid was small volume at 9.59 and small (but larger) offered volume at 9.68

I entered a buy order with volume size that would have taken out all of the visible offered at 9.68 and a little more up to 9.69.

My unsolicited limit buy order completely filled. Price received was better than the limit order price entered and midway between visible bid/offer prices on market depth.

Live quotes for trade history did not print the sales at either the TSX site or on Canada Stockwatch live trade prints. I do not know who buying brokerage was.

Live quotes after the done trade still showed same bid/offer prices and sizes on the depth of market.

Detailed long-winded description. The question -- Can you provide some background color on how some trade prints show up immediately while others (ie. above description) seem to be invisible. Just curious and trying to understand the behind-the-scenes mechanics of trade stuff better.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

This is not a question, but rather a comment. I often read in the Q@A that the insurance on GICs is $100,000. This is not entirely true. If you invest in a GIC at an Ontario credit union or caisse populaire, the insurance is $250,000. See the link below.
