Investment Q&A

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

Q: I bought shares in Annaly Capital Management NLY a few years ago when RBC seemed to be giving it the nod. The high yield was attractive and it did OK for a while, but it's down about 37% since I bought them. At current levels, they form about 3% of the value of my wife's and my registered investments. Is there any hope for an upick, or should I just sell and move on? It's depressing looking at that -35% figure in the Gains/Losses column.

Q: Hi 5i: There seems to be no consensus on the definitions of the sectors that an investor should represent in a portfolio. I have seen lists that range from 10 to 20 such "sectors". What sector definition do you use? Also, what software system do you use to identify the sector to which a particular stock belongs? I ask the latter question because I use RBC Direct which, for example, puts IPL in the Energy sector while most other sector systems I've looked at class IPL as an utility.

CLQ today came out with good news today.
Its first continuous lithium carbonate production.
Also recently an insider purchase $1,150,000.00 worth of stock.
He sure believes in the company.
Its speculative yet the risk reward looks good at current share price.
What`s your opinion?

Q: Hi Peter and team: Are you in a position to comment on the iShares MSCI South Africa ETF that was mentioned in David Berman's glam article yesterday? I checked out its performance and looked at the main constituent companies and it looks OK to me (though I couldn't tell if "blood diamonds" were involved anywhere). Berman suggested it as a way of investing in Africa -though it is represented in other countries also. Thanks for any information you can provide.

Q: Investment firms often charge 2% to manage a portfolio. This equates to a 20% fee on a portfolio that earns 10% (2%/10%) which equals a fee of 100% (2%/2%) of the net gain versus say an 8% benchmark which you can buy as an ETF. How do they get away with this and how do you negotiate lower rates? Thanks. Michael
