Q: I am presently holding the first 3 preferred in a non registered account.
BMO is held in a registered account.
Can you kindly analyze the above preferred. Some have decreased in value in the last couple of months. Any idea why this is happening.
Is it time to sell?

Q: UBER had a good run lately. It is higher than the IPO price the first time. I am thinking of adding UBER into my investment portfolio for a mid-term investment. Do you think it is a good idea?
I am also thinking of COST, Google, TTD for a relatively stable RRSP portfolio for a very long term. Is it okay to have all three of them?
Thank you very much.

Q: Hello 5i Team
I am reviewing alternative high yield C$ investments for my RRSP for a small portion of my fixed income (< 5% of total portfolio ).
Looking at the publicly traded mortgage investment corporations (MIC) on the TSX - of the four listed, which would be your preferred choice and/or ranked in order.
Are there any other MIC listed on the TSX?
Could you also confirm that "dividends" for MICs are considered as "interest" if held in a non-taxable account.
Thanks in advance for the great service.

Q: Hi, I need to increase my Industrial Sector a fair bit. I started with full positions in CNR, FTT and SIS. CNR has doubled but FTT and SIS are both down, SIS quite a bit.

I started with a half position in WSP and it's up a bit.

What would you do here to increase your Industrials

Thanks
Robert

I need to increase my Technology Sector. I started with full positions in CSU, which has doubled, and KXS (which is flat), and a half position in Open Text.

What would you do hear to increase my sector holding by 50%?

Thanks,
Robert

Q: What is the low down on this company? Is it a safe play, or the best way to play the marijuana legalization that is going on and continuing to occur in the US?

Q: I have a buy order for Covalon at $3.89 since Q2 2019 earnings and stock doesn't seem to be hitting below $4. If company don't see one time charges in Q3 2019, I am assuming they will be profitable. I don't want to miss this opportunity but stock over $4 seems expensive to me. Management is great since insiders hold over 50% of stock. Should I pull a trigger over $4 or wait for the price to come down? My time frame is 12 months.

Q: I have been following Eye Carrot since last six months. It got my eyes after Fabrice Taylor recommended it on BNN as a buy at around $0.27. Stock is now trading at $0.02, below it's net book value of $0.04. According to last financials, company has good cash but recent year end financials got delayed, i think, due to law suit going on between CEO not paying salary to ex CFO. Company is doing a lot of promotions of technology, but I am not sure about POs/potential revenue. I am looking to trade this super risky share since it is trading below Net Book Value, but I am concerned about bankruptcy and year end financials. What are your thoughts about it?
