Investment Q&A

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

Q: Given your answer a month ago
"We would prefer WFT today. HDI is small, but is expected to show good earnings growth. The balance sheet is a bit stretched but with good cash flow growth this becomes less of a problem. The stock is acting well and there has been some insider buying. It is very cheap on valuation if its growth expectations come through. It is not likely too late."
Has anything changed, Looking into the future do you see this sector as a hold or should I take my profit.

Q: I work in tech and for that reason I had told myself no need to add further exposure to tech by holding tech stocks. Now I kind of regret that strategy. I wonder what percentage of exposure to tech In my portfolio is sensible? Is it too late to enter? Do you think tech stocks are in a bubble? Can you suggest some names (ETFs/stocks) in canada and US that would be good choices if we decided to add some exposure to tech?

Q: 5i, thank you again for all the great advice! I saw someone asking a question about these bond / high interest ETFs earlier today. Do you have other suggestions for bond / high interest ETFs? I have a longer investment horizon, but currently are 40% equity and 60% cash. I want to put some of this cash to work in a relatively safer manner.

Q: Could you please provide your take on pending antitrust legislation in the US against big tech, especially Amazon. I own both SHOP and LSPD and am wondering about adding. My dilemma is I’m unsure if the legislation would be negative as all tech gets sideswiped or positive as it would impair Amazon’s competitive advantage, thus opening the door for improved growth for smaller tech companies. Your guidance is greatly appreciated.

Q: May I get your overall impression of the newly launched Invesco NASDAQ Next Gen 100 ETF (QQQJ)? Is it wise to let it grow larger before considering a position? Could it be viewed as an advantageous alternative or complement to IWO for US small/mid cap exposure?

Q: For a balanced portfolio with the next 3-5 years in mind, what are your suggested weightings in preferreds, utilities and high yield bonds. Given low interest rates preferreds in particular seem like a place investors will go to seek higher yields with some opportunity for growth.

Q: Earlier this year I bought some shares in Boralex which has done very well for me so far. I am thinking now might be a good time to invest further in green energy companies and was hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction. Should I buy more Boralex? Or are there other companies that I should be buying now? Thanks!
