Investment Q&A

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

Q: I was wondering if your response to Eugene this morning regarding CI Financial would also apply verbatim to FSZ? I work in the financial services industry and I share your concerns for growth in these companies. The dividend is great and I assume reasonable secure but do you hold much hope of the stock price ever rising? The share price is about where is was 2 years ago.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: I repeat my question. I am an aggressive growth investor and would like to know if these 4 companies fit my profile. Realizing that you do not my portfolio, I would still like you to
forward your favourite 6 or so growth companies. Unless you have a compelling case, I do not invest in resources ( mining, gold, oil/gas ).

Q: Would you agree this still happens daily?

For well over 100 years there have been stock manipulators, stock operators and stock traders...such as one of the classic and considered the best all time operators, and he did it back in the ~1910 - 1920 era, Jesse Livermore who was more concerned with beating the market, specific stocks & futures, than actually concerned about making $$$ even though he could and did routinely make millions in a year back in say 1920!

They, the "movers" will move a stock - buying or selling some - to get it moving and then once other investors, such as retail investors and institutional investors, take notice and start buying into the stock the "movers" starts selling or close their short for a profit.

This is often all that is happening when a stock moves and there is no news or incident to be found. Most "Investors" want to know why for everything but in reality there is nothing to know other than movers doing their daily business of attempting to make $$$ in the market.

There are so many different interests and money making approaches used from around the world.

Not everything is explainable. Such as why GUD or CSU is rising lately. Note CSU is down today as it just hit a resistance level from before. Kinda predictable I think from a technical perspective.

Have a great day.

Q: I've been struggling to find out what to do with all the cash I was holding in my portfolios so a while back I used VDY as sort of a money market fund,for me that's pretty conservative. I realize that VDY is basically buying the tsx financial sector, I'm up about 4-5% with this right now but do realize that with a correction in the financials it could come down some. I'm looking for something "safer" to park my money in.
