Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi team,I am thinking about pulling the trigger on either PLTR or SSSS.
They are both interesting companies but with a high volatility.
Which one would you pick and why?what is the relationship at this moment between the two companies.Do SSSS still own a fair chunk of PLTR and was lousy IPO of PLTR warranted for SSSS price to drop that much?

Q: To whom it may concern ,
I have some GIC’s maturing but interest rates are so low that it is hardly worth rolling them over. I am looking for some alternatives with high security and better Yield. I am thinking perhaps some bank stocks or Vanguard products and would appreciate your opinion or any other advice you may have.
Thank you for your valuable advice..

Q: Peter; Have you heard of this company- it’s being heavily promoted - my sister in Cranbrook was approached because our PM apparently was on the Colbert show touting it ! It has a odour about it. Thanks. Rod

Q: I have both in my RRIF. BIR has moved very well last 2 weeks and I am making small amount of money. Still down with TOU . Should I keep both for time being, have held them for quite a while. I could put the money in another stock, or top up TOU for dividend.With topaz starting maybe TOU would increase DIV sometime in future. Tks for helping in past

Q: Was in a quandary over ET after purchasing as an income stock several years ago. Currently underwater by 30% and was wondering about buying more as my position is small. I know 5i seldom recommends averaging down but in this case would averaging down be an opportunity? Normally I would sell after a dividend cut but these times are not normal. Company has no debt ( I think ) and room to increase dividend. Is management just being ultra-conservative about increasing dividend? Would this be a tax loss seller or a buying opportunity?

Q: Hi, I was going to add to my consumer cyclicals by adding LNF based on your previous comments to others. However, I see this has a low volume of shares trading each day. This raises a red flag since if something should go wrong (e.g. bad quarter), the stock can drop considerably more as people scramble to get out. Do you see this as a valid concern? My other holdings in this sector are MG and CTC.A, both at full weightings. Can you suggest any others?

Q: To follow up on my panic questions this weekend on docu, I have too much of it in my account and it’s causing me stress. How likely do you think the stock is to return to a high? My cost price is about $242. As long as I’m reasonable confident that it will go back up, I can handle holding it. I just don’t know if this is like a dot com type of spike wherein the stock never recovers from an old high. Thanks.
