Q: I have a half position in this stock ET.CA which when asked in the past you have said there is no growth so might want to let it go, and so because of the div, I just left it to go back up. Today they announced a special div. Will the stock typically go down after the dividend has been paid out Dec 18th? And if I should sell, would I need to hold to the 19th to get the special Dividend and then sell? When is the best time to sell? Or is the company doing a turn around and it's worth to hang on? If they are doing better, I'm happy to keep it or could move on, and then what would I replace it with.? Please advise.

Q: Good morning,

Aeluema, which I can’t find in the database has come off of its latest decline.

It is tied with lidar, sem’s, quantum. Would you please give your assessment on this company in its present state as a speculative starter position.

Thank you.

Q: Hi team,
Is CLS plummeting on Avgo results? Also why the negative reaction on Avgo with the earnings beat? I am not liking this market particularly tech. Any reason to sell off growth names right now it seems to happen with very little new catalysts in sight. Is it time to diversify away from tech with the portfolio already down approx 12% from highs. Or just ride out these growth names as usual? Thx

Shane

Q: I am down on these two companies in my TFSA, and am thinking of selling in favor of another Canadian growth company. I already own ELVA, FTG, GRID, KITS, PNG, VNP and ZDC. Which would you add to, or do you suggest adding another growth company.

Q: A follow up question on portfolio construction. I’ve decided to try and get more dividends while I wait for capital appreciation inside my TFSA.

So the portfolio will be 20% International holding FLVI and VIU. 45% Canadian and will hold XDIV and CDZ. The 55% US will hold SPYD, VYM, HVD and all 11 sectors through Vanguard or ishares.

I’m looking to collect some dividends while I wait for capital gains and realize I will not get full dividends on the US ETFs. What are your thoughts on this set up, is there anything to improve either with diversification or higher dividends? Appreciate your service.

Q: LIN has been tanking in the last while, down perhaps 20–25% from its high earlier this year. Can you explain why this is happened? Do you see LIN as a favourable investment going forward, and why? One other related issue: is tax loss selling also an issue in the US, that is, is there much loss selling at this time of year? Many thanks for your excellent service.

Thanks always

Q: Hi 5i
Electrovaya reported what appears to be good quarterly and yearly numbers yesterday.

May I please have your thoughts on the results and the company itself within the battery space?

Is this a good company to invest in in this space or do you feel that there are others that have better long term (3-5 years) prospects?
