Investment Q&A

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

Q: I understand you are not fans of Canoe, but in the Globe & Mail Gordon Pape recently put forward a persuasive case for income investors since the unit value has been trading
between $11 and $13 for the last several years. With the current price at the low end of the range, the yield is very attractive and the monthly payment of 10 cents/unit has remained stable since 2009. Any second thoughts?

Q: Hi 5i: Am considering SCHD .. Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (symbol not in your database) for a medium to long term hold in my non-registered account.

Would you prefer VUN or VGG ? Any other suggestions appreciated.
Thanks as always for your great advice !

Q: Hello: I have been reading the last ROB and the Invest like a legend article. I find it interesting most of those interviewed mention broad index funds. You have mentioned these many times but hope you might address these funds again with a portfolio of index funds. Thank you in advance. Barbara

Q: Hi team,

I don't see any questions on this company Cardiol Therapeutics Inc. (CRDL) that did a recent IPO on TSX and hit a 52 week high today. It seems they are in a (speculative) cannabinoid arena with some drugs coming into phase 1 stages in 2019.
What is management history (CEO, CFO, etc.), board of directors, ...ie are they a solid team?
They had a string of announcements (LOI's, exclusive agreements, etc) in 2017 but no real follow-up news in 2018 wrt these signings.
Does their product pipeline seem promising?
How might it compare to Cannimed wrt therapeutic applications?

Is it a company to just watch for now given it's very recent IPO? So many IPO's flop in the first 6 months thus the caution.

Appreciate your insight!

Cheers,
SteveMc
