Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi Peter…QS and GLW announced yesterday an agreement for the development and commercialization of ceramic separators presumably for QS’s batteries. There were no details. I think this is another positive step for QS and also for GLW too. No financial details were provided in the press release. Does Bloomberg have any information on the joint venture? Any change in QS’s short interest? Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
Incidentally Jim Cramer appears to be quite bullish on GLW generally. I suppose if your company might just be making parts for an improved EV automotive battery that would be a positive. “Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door”!
Thanks,
Jim

Q: I have been a shareholder of the trade desk for many years and still have 123% gains.. I am questioning. what should I do with this company? I wonder if the future is still good. What would you do? Would you hold or sell? If you sell, you have a better investment you would put the money at work for the next five years. thanks a lot.

Q: I am sitting on cash to invest. I have been thinking about waiting until the US and China at least come to a "partial agreement" on trade. So that we have some certainity around that and how companies can move forward. I understand there are many points on both sides to negotiate and a "final deal" could take a long time or the other issues NOT able to resolve in an agreement. What advise would you have about investing the cash now or should I wait for a partial agreement? Or should I invest now but stay out of the US stock market? Your input would be appreciated.

Q: Good morning 5i
I have done well in the past few years, as I have been close to 100 percent equities. With the time horizon shortening, however, and less time to recover from a downturn, I am considering a higher percentage of fixed income. Currently, I have a large amount of US cash. I have been fearful of the US dollar falling, and have been wondering whether I should convert those dollars into Canadian in order to buy fixed income?
Thanks

Q: I am deciding between these two companies for a 1% position (I will add over time if the company performs well): sector allocation is not a concern for this purchase. I am investing specifically for growth. Would you have a clear preference here?

Thanks so much, and I look forward to your response.
