Investment Q&A

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

Q: Peter and Team:
It will be 3 years until the kids start needing funds from their RRSP, and I am slowly selling individual stocks and moving to etfs to spread risk and reduce volatility.
They have good exposure to US Market ETFs, but all Canadian Exposure is through individual equities. Is now a good time to purchase ZCN (or suggested equivalent)?. Also how do you fell about low volatility ETF's i.e. ZLB vs. broader market equivalents.

Thanks for the great service and deduct 2 if you see fit!

Q: Hi Peter and Team!! In a nutshell, could you explain to me how income trusts work. How are they taxed? Would now be a good time to buy some, and if so, which would you recommend? Thank you for your tremendous service!!! Cheers, Tamara

Q: Can you comment on the fact that BNN Market Call takes place during the trading day and not all of us can be watching while we are at work. I have frequently come home to see their picks and I an interested in a stock, but find it has traded up 10% or more just after the pick is announced on the television. This seems unfair for those who cannot watch. Do you have any pull with the BNN producers. Maybe we can get them to air it at 1:00 after the market has closed. Do you have any advice for other than to wait to see if the stock trades down to a reasonable level before buying?

Q: Are you a fan of the frequently expressed strategy of having your per cent of fixed income match your age? I suspect this is a personal decision based on one's risk tolerance, but as a general rule does it make sense? For myself, 50+ in fixed income seems like a lot.

Q: Hi 5i team,
I know you recommend keeping sector allocations during all ups and downs and my energy is just 2.8%, PEY at 1.3% and WCP at 1.5%. I am considering adding SGY (or something else)at 2.2% now to top up to 5%. Any comments are welcome.
Thank you for your unending expertise.

Q: Peter et al.

Any thoughts on this one. It is the rebranded Bioniche. They recently got an FDA notification that their bladder cancer drug (Urocidin) will get FDA fast-track review. They seem well cashed up, but do have a lot of shares outstanding (280 million). Thanks.

Q: What is your viewpoint on CRH Medical? Bought a half position this week at $4.80. I am looking at a 3 to 4 year hold on this one. I missed out on Concordia Healthcare as I would have liked to have bought it at $60 and it took off before I could. Could this be the next Concordia?

Regards,

Brendan
