Investment Q&A

Q: I'm a 65 year old div investor with a defined pension. I'm investigating the BMO covered Call Health Care ETF (ZWHC) as a way to play the Health Care Sector as there is not much available in Cdn. I have a question on the cost of this ETF. The fact sheet states Max annual management fee of .65% and then it says an MER of .73%.
Do I add the two % up to equal 1.38% or would I just pay the MER of .73%?
I hold WELL (hoping for growth) but have been waiting quite awhile and nothing much seems to happen. I'm down (-26%). Its been good if you bought lately but if you bought back during COVID, not so much.
I know you still recommend it so should I hope for the best and wait awhile longer (hope not being much of an investment strategy) or move on? VHI seems to be moving better? Appreciate your thoughts.

Q: Hi team,

Looking for strong growth in the health sector.

Do you think OSCR-N, RXST-Q, VHI-T and National Health Care are the best options for the purpose ? And what is the level of risk ?

Please deduct as many credits as you see fit.

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

Q: Can I get your take on this micro cap please. They seem to be doing well. What do you think of the valuation / opportunity given the inherit small cap risks?

Q: Hi 5i In a registered account
I've held TXF, TXF.B and HTA for quite a while, all at roughly the same cost base. In terms of total return HTA at 52% has outperformed TXF (10.3%) and TXF.B (38%) substantially, although I've got no real complaints about TXF.B's performance.
TXF and TXF.B have the same portfolio holdings, so I assume the vast difference in total return between them is solely due to hedging.
My questions;
Based on your view of the foreseeable future, do you think TXF.B will continue to substantially outperform TXF based on US vs. CDN currency differences? and
Would you endorse selling TXF and putting the proceeds 50/50 into HTA and TXF.B or in some other proportion? (TXF.B and HTA have quite different holdings so I was thinking that splitting TXF proceeds between them rather than all into HTA might be sensible ...).
Thanks - I look forward to your thoughts.

Q: My holding of Paypal is at about -40%. I’ve had it since 2020. At this point, would you recommend disposing it and add to other Fintech names ex: Google, MA, Meli?

Looking at the charts of PayPal vs MA vs Google vs Meli, I cannot help but regretting buying into PayPal. And it looks like PayPal is currently having nothing going for it.

Q: Am I correct that it appears SMCI wants to delay, but not redo, its 10K Filing? It appears a 10K Filing is required by the SEC and is far more detailed than an annual report. A delay in filing suggests there is weakness in Senior Management which is a definite negative. I don't believe in coincidences so I think it likely the Hindenburg report, posted 1 day before SMCI announced the filing delay, have sniffed out something. According to SMCI there is a problem with "the design and operating effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting". A pretty general statement if ever I saw one! If they have been evading sanctions that could spell serious trouble. SMCI has a reputation in Silicone Valley as a "sweat shop" according to my son-in-law who once worked for them. Anyways I'm lightening my long position on the up days as I just don't want to sell into panics. Any comments you might have would be appreciated.
Regards,
Jim
