Investment Q&A

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

Q: Pondering selling my position in NGT and replaced it with AEM. NGT's performance in the last 12 moths seems to be below par, relative to their peers and the future does not seem to be very promising. Can you give me a read what has driven the weak performance and if you agree with the switch. Does a small position in gold producers make sense at this stage?
Much appreciated.

Q: Based on your previous views “ US regional banks as more of a gamble than an investment at this time” I was looking into the space and of the top ten holdings if each etf and was perplexed that there was no overlap of their selections? Needless to say if you had to create your own etf in this space what would be your top holding and why? Thank you.

Q: Hi,
I was wondering if my interpretation of the timing of PSA's monthly payment is correct. My Investor's Edge account says for last month: "PURPOSE HIGH INTEREST SAVINGS FUND UNITS SAVINGS FUND UNITS DIST ON XXX SHS REC 07/28/23 PAY 08/08/23."
I take this to mean, if I hold the shares on 07/28 I will receive the dividend on 08/08. For this month, if I were to sell my PSA shares after 08/28/23, I would still receive the dividend in September. Do you think I have that correct?

Thank you. Michael

Q: A rookie question but I’ll leave it public just in case anyone else has the same question. I don’t understand how to calculate what I need to sell or by to reduce or increase my allocation. If your recommendation is to reduce a sector from 10% of portfolio weight to 5%, do I sell 5% of my holdings in that sector or 5% of the entire portfolio value from that sector?

Q: Hello 5i Team

Northview Fund (old ticker NHF.UN) is now trading as the new entity (Northview Residential REIT new ticker NRR.UN) on a post consolidated basis (1.75 NHF.UN = 1.0 NRR.UN).

1 - How does NRR.UN compare against the other Canadian residential reits?

2- Is it buyable or should I wait and see how the market likes it.

3 - Is there financial results available for the consolidated units or do I need to wait for Q3 quarterly results (available late October / early November).

Thanks

Q2. Which of these three stocks (MEG.CA, CVE.CA or TVE.CA offers the best risk/reward at this particular time,

Q3. Is there another energy stock that you prefer and would wholeheartedly recommend.

Thank you and I'll await your response.

Q: I am considering increasing my Canadian Bank exposure. I know timing is never perfect, but given the recent pullback in Cdn Banks, and the headwinds going into a potential recession, is this a good time to buy RY, TD and BNS, or would you wait and see what plays out in next 3 to 6 months?

Thanks
Tim
