Investment Q&A

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

Q: What would happen if there is an economic downturn or recession and people lose jobs and there are high non-performing loans at Goeasy.
Does the company have a hold on the asset being financed ? Does defaulting on Goeasy loan have a strong impact on individual credit scores ? Im wondering if Goeasy will have a huge NPL or face something similar to sub-prime crisis because they are one of the few players in a market which is not serviced by banks but more by pay day loans and credit cards.

Q: Pls disregard my previous question - here goes again.
I would like your advice on simplifying our IT sector holdings. My sector allocation is currently 16% and willing to go to 20%
VISA, SQ and PPYL have been placed in Financials [would have brought total allocation to 22% if included in IT].
GIB at 20% [of 16% total] is largest followed by SHOP at 12%. Next category between 5-10% are CSU, MSFT, SPOT, SSTI, TTD, ARKW, TD Science & Technology Fund, DOCU. Others at <5% [initial positions] are NVDA, KXS, NXPI, BOX, IQ, MU.
All are up except for MU. Pls advise which to discard, which to add to and any others that could provide growth on your "favorites" list.
Much appreciated
Sam

Q: hi there,
Today, which of these 2 would you add to a portfolio . QSR's P/E is cheaper and dividend is higher but given all the 'noise' around Tim's, there appears to be more risk around QSR. Your thoughts?

Q: VMD is up 300% since March while of RHT drop more than 50%. They were supposed to be in the same space and RHT was supposed to be the better company. It makes lower lows every week with no end in sight. Is there any other option that will provide growth in a TFSA account.?

Q: Am i right in thinking that if i don't tender my ECI (Enercare) shares capital gains on all the shares will be triggered?

TD direct investment got my notification to me by mail today after the deadline for tendering and I then spent over an hour waiting to get through to them by phone. A broker I was finally connected to is putting a best effort offer, but cheerfully noted that the worst case scenario is the units would be sold for $29! Not happy with TD direct investing!

Q: Good Morning,
I see this morning that RNX announced over the weekend that they have found more gold at their Beta Hunt mine. I'm about break even on this after holding for a few years , any thoughts on this? Perhaps hold and let it run for a bit? I heard Eric Sprott over the weekend discussed it on his Podcast and seems to have even further interest in RNX.
Thank-you
