Investment Q&A

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

Q: With all the hurricanes, earthquakes, flooding, droughts, etc, etc ,etc. How can insurance companies profit? The Canadian Gov't is taxing everyone to death and there is only so much money left over for average people to carry coverage so something has to give and on top wages are not going up for these people.
I would like your take ion insurance with these obvious conditions.

Thanks, James

Q: Hello, I have received from my online broker the Thomson Reuters' documents to tender my TRI shares. I have hold these shares for many years and I have always been happy with the company's yield and growth . What will happen if I do nothing (do not tender my shares)? Can Thompson Reuters force an investor to sell his shares? Thanks, Gervais

Q: VMD has been very strong after its latest earnings report. You often caution about selling your winners or selling into momentum but I am wondering if, given the history of its predecessor (PHM) and its relatively small size, if its time to sell 1/2 and take some profits. I find buying easy, its knowing when to sell that always messes me up! Help.

Thanks

Q: I'm considering buying an out of the money call on AEM expiring next Jan. or Feb . As you're aware the stock and call prices are very depressed at this time. If gold prices take of at some point, the calls should do quite well. I now own a small position in GDX at a sizeable loss (20%)
Your comments appreciated.
thanks

Q: For the technology portion of one of my portfolios I've held 75% XLK and 25% FDN. Since XLK will be reconfigured this month, what ETFs do you think would best represent the technology sector moving forward? Also what about timing with the changes being made to XLK?

Thanks!

Q: I feel the pot stocks have entered a bubble not unlike the tech bubble in 2000.

I think there could be a lot of money made on the short side here. Can you please suggest 2 or 3 stocks
In this area that you think have the highest chance of going to or near zero one this bubble bursts. Both US and Canadian equities.

Thanks

Q: I own a significant number of shares weighted against my overall portfolio in GWO through an employer savings program and am perplexed as to why the stock never seems to gain any traction. With higher rates and an improving profit picture for the company I thought the shares would begin to move over the last year but the opposite has happened. What are the prospects for this stock in the next 3-5 years? Should I replace some of the shares with shares of another company or a few others? Thank you, Ian
