Investment Q&A

Q: I would like to purchase QQQ but in Canadian funds and not hedged. I think that QQQ.F.CA or XQQ are options. But I notice that QQQ shows about 10% better price increase over the last 3 years than the CDN options.
Are there other pros and cons of purchasing say XQQ instead of converting my cash to USD and buying QQQ?

Q: Currently have ZQQ. Is there a more concentrated hedged ETF with just the FAANG stocks & a few others?

Q: HiTeam:

Good day!

I am holding SCHW & SBNY with some 30% loss, and COLD some 7% loss. Should I let go the first two and hold the COLD?

Please take the points for each one as I have 3 companies in question.

Thank you.

Louisa

Q: I have shares it both of the these Income funds. FIE-T is down 24% and XTR-T is down 12. 42%. in my registered portfolio. I'm thinking of selling the entire position in XTC-T and purchasing more shares in FIE-T . The later has a much higher yield in FIE then XTC-T . Your thoughts ? Is this reasonable. Thanks

Q: May I have your opinion on CloudMD Software (DOC.CN)? Telemedicine may benefit in this environment.

Q: Hope you are all staying safe and sane.

I have about 20% of my RRSPs following your Balanced portfolio, the rest in cash. I would like to deploy most of that cash in the next year. Which names would you start adding to first?

Q: I presently hod these 2 ETF's and was looking for your opinion. They are approximately 1.25% each of portfolio. Being a small amount do I add or sell.

Regards,

Q: Hi,

Which would you buy for the long term or is there a better choice? I'm surprised at the low beta of both ATVI and TTWO as I don't like volatility.
Would you wait or buy now?

Q: Which etf’s would I use to cover my u.s. and cdn stocks on the short side. I like my stocks, but would like to cover for a while thanks Ken

Q: Hello
SRU.UN is involved in shopping centers, office buildings, high rise and low rise condominiums, rental residences, seniors' housing and self storage facilities.
Do you know what percentage of this REIT's income is derived from retail tenants, condominium/rental residences and storage facilities?
The dividend was not cut during the 2008/09 financial crisis. Do you think their dividend is vulnerable this time?
Will you average down at today's price or just hold?
Thanks for your advice.

Q: I own ENB and PPL. PPL was purchased for stability and safety of the dividend. The position is now way down. Would you recommend selling PPL and replacing it with TRP? Or is PPL seriously mispriced at this point and better to sit tight and wait for recovery?

Q: Since the March lows DG has gone up 35% and the same comparison, DOL has gone up 20%.

Any reason for the large discrepency?

Thanks

Sheldon

Q: Any ideas as to what is driving this back up? Stock has almost doubled since March 18th. I can get where TSGI is doing okay because 62% of revenues is online poker and games but I would have thought Flutter would be more comparable to GC with sports betting non existent the same as physical casinos with no action. Thx

Q: Hi, great insights lately, thanks! I'm slowly buying quality names, but pausing for now on ATD.B. Can you please counter my following doubts:
- They are relying a lot on revenue from gas stations, not only gas but mainly associated convenience stores. In the short term very few are visiting for gas, but even when things open up, people will just pay at the pump and not take the risk of going in for snacks, etc.
- Once they get past that which may be 1+ years, there is still the longer term trend away from gas stations.

This just seems to have the "Spin Master" feeling. What is the short and longer term compelling case to have them near the top of your lists? I'm supposing quality of management, valuation, hopefully recovery of business that that seen before this year?

Q: Hi group first question if you were to pick one US and one Canadian stock for capital appreciation with the least risk what would the names be bases on todays environment . 2 nd question I got stopped out of BYD (Stopped out @140) and CSU (stopped out at $1180) in the recent downturn what strategy would you use for re-entry? ( have been waiting for significant pull backs that have not materialized at this present time in the cycle please give me you thought's on strategy to reenter these names Thanks for your thoughts

Q: Please review the current environment on this ETF and would it be worth selling and moving money to higher income geared ETF. If so, what would you recommend?
