Investment Q&A

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

Q: Are there any stocks in particular that will be impacted positively or negatively if the Ndp or Conservatives win the election? I read an article that Andrew Pellar and Brick Brewing might benefit from a Ford government. I assume Hydro might do well under an Ndp government if the buy back the public shares? I would like your best guess and any other companies that could be impacted.
Thank you

Q: Hi:
Would you kindly give me a critical view of Advisor Shares ETF FANG
FNG-N. Holdings, Returns, MER, and anything else that you and your
team believe to be pertinent. I have missed out on the high returns in the sector, because quite frankly it scares me. Maybe I am late to the sector?
This ETF seems kind of small? Comments.

Thanks for the wonderful help,
BEN.

Q: I realize these companies are all very different in many ways, but I want to add 2 or 3. I'm completing the BEP and adding to the GMP. Could you rank them in terms of "best opportunity," meaning the share price does not reflect the quality and potential of the company. In other words, seems mis-priced in terms of your valuation of the company because share price is down for no apparent good reason from a fundamental perspective.

Q: Gentlemen, Good morning
Just a comment, its better to check with the broker, for exemple Direct Investing NB, even if the CSU is on US side, DIBN will convert the U$ div in Ca$ and than in U$, there is a double conversion.
''Q: Derek
You need a Cdn. & US brokerage a/c.'s
e. g. you buy 100 shs. CSU in your Cdn. a/c.
After settlement call the broker & tell them to tfr. the 100 CSU to your US a/c. Now the US div. will go into your US a/c. Should not be a problem buying CDN Co.'s that pay US divs. & accumulate those divs. in your US
brokerage a/c.

Q: I halved my holdings some time ago and it's continued to drop to the point that it's too small a part of my overall portfolio to have much impact one way or another. Because I bought it early on, I'm still ahead, but I'm wondering what I should do. Buy more to bring it up to say a half position again, sell it, or let it ride. I'm looking to make my portfolio more conservative and low maintenance in my later retirement.
