Investment Q&A

Q: I understand Pinterest starts trading on Thursday April 18. Pinterest is expected to price its IPO today. The image-sharing social media company initially said in a regulatory filing that it planned to sell 75 million shares at price range of $15 to $17 a share, valuing the company at $9 billion. The company reported $756 million in 2018 revenue in its IPO prospectus. What is view on this firm and its IPO price?

Q: Good morning 5i
Thank you for answering my question of April 16 about my wife's TFSA. Among ENGH, SIS and NFI, you suggested to sell NFI. What about TOY which is the only stock showing 9% unrealized loss in her account? Between TOY and NFI, which one should she sell or trim or do selling and trimming on both for a long-term investor? Thank you again! Jim

Q: My Granddaughter is <1 and currently has $3000 in her RESP. I see that in a past question you recommended VGG for an RESP for 6-8 year old children. Would you stick with that given the longer time frame or would you have a different suggestion? Should we conceder more than one product?
Thanks, John

Q: I've read that total market ETF's such as ITOT include a component of unprofitable small caps that can cause a drag on performance. It was recommended instead to go with an S&P 500 ETF suchs as VOO, and supplement this with a mid/small cap ETF that follows an index that screens out low profitability, such as IJS or IUSV. What's your opinion of this strategy?
