Investment Q&A

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

Q: Do you have any concerns with Cormarks downgrade of Great Canadian Gaming? I hold the position that GC has good management that would analyze all scenarios before making decisions on the GTA bundle or any other investment. The share performance over the last 5 years speaks for itself and I see the dip as a buying opportunity for long term shareholders.

Q: Hi 5i,
I understand that many high net worth and institutions have alternative assets in their portfolios. Can you please help suggest some stocks which may be available for purchase on a Canadian stock exchange for an individual investor representative of the asset class.
1. Private Equity: BBU.UN, ONEX?, stock?, ETF?
2. Hedge Funds: stock?, ETF?

Q: Hi all, With today's (16 Aug) climb, I am almost breaking even with this one after more than a year. I am trying to position my portfolio with dividend stocks that have some growth opportunity (like many I have observed here). Should I take the opportunity and get out and look for a dividend stock with more growth in this space? Or is this possibly the beginning of an uptrend in DR.

Thank You, Stephen S

Q: Nice folks I hold 5% gold exposure split between GLD and FNV. Do you have an opinion on gold for the next quarter and/or year. There is some rumour that some central banks may be selling gold aggressively and some opinion that gold could be heading downward. Your thoughts on that as well would be great to read. Lastly would you suggest simply sitting tight with the current weighting and holdings I have as an appropriate "forever" holding. Thanks so much.

Q: I have zero allocation to minerals, mining and material stocks in my portfolio. Do you feel that some exposure is warranted for diversification purposes?

If so, what one or two companies would you suggest to achieve broad exposure while minimizing downside risk. I prefer larger companies that pay a dividend.
