Investment Q&A

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

Q: I watched BNN last Tuesday and an analyst said that TSX is at a 2-year high and suggested that short-term investors should take a side-line position now.

I need to cash in most of my “Cash Portfolio” next March/April for a major home renovation project. I have the following stocks in this portfolio. I also have some cash.

AGU, BNS, AYA, CGX, MG, ENB, MDA.

AGU is down 7%, all others are fine.

Please suggest which/when stocks I should sell and/or switch to more short-term tolerant stocks. Thanks again!

Q: re. Zenn Motor (ZNN-V)

What is your considered opinion of the investment merits of Zenn Motor? I'm aware that the co. is developing (with an American partner) a new and, of course, a better electric battery for the auto industry. Would this be an interesting speculation, or is this just another high risk gamble with little chance of a pay-off any time soon?

Thanks for your insights.

Additionally, kudos for your call on MCR-V ... I've done very well with this stock after only 6 weeks.

Q: Good morning,
I have a few questions on bond etf's:
Could you please offer your feedback on bond etf's and specifcially XSB, both as a long term holding in the current environment as well as a place to park cash that may be needed over the next 6 to 12 months.

Also, any feedback on XCB and XGB would also be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Brad

Q: Hello,

I have a question regarding Loyalist, (LOY). Yesterday they granted
options under its stock option plan to purchase an aggregate of 3.8M common shares at an exercise price of $0.50.

I'm not familiar with options so I"m not sure what this means. Does this act as signal to buy or sell.

Thank you so much.

Q: CXS is down 5.75% today. Any reason? The only "news" I see is a neutral report by Thomson Reuters. Stockhase.com recently shows only positive comments by analysts.

Q: Hi

Today, the investment and company questions section is not working properly. On the most recent setting, I have one or two for Oct 25 and then it quickly shows scrambled dates. Is this just me, or is it a system problem.

Thanks for you help. I use your site daily and really appreciate the timely and quality information you provide

Q: I am considering placing about 4% of my RRSP into Spyglass Resources. The dividend of over 13% seems exciting, is it sustainable and what do you think of SGL chances for growth over the next six months to a year?

Thanks again!

Q: Your thoughts on CTA (Crocotta Energy) please. It was featured as a Top Pick on BNN this week and I was wondering if it was a good energy play in an RRSP account.

Thanks
