I am looking to invest into the small cap sector and would like to know if there is a global small cap etf you can suggest, preferably in CND funds. If there isn't any global EFT which options would you recommend?
Q: Hi, would you still consider Cdz to be your favourite Canadian ETF for a person seeking a 4% dividend and a little stability, for the next 5+ years. I got full positions in financial,Heath and Tech. stock. The rest of the sectors about 1/2 to 3/4 position.
Or would you consider a different ETF. Would like to stay in Canada
Thanks,Brad
Q: Athabasca Notes are due Nov.19, 2017, which could be option no. three (3). Also, which tender offer is BEST one or two?
Option 1:To receive the total consideration of $1,004.25 CAD, which includes an early tender payment of $30.00 CAD,for each $1,000.00 CAD principal amount of Athabasca Oil Corp. 7.50% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due Nov. 19, 2017 tendered.
Option 2: To receive the tender offer consideration of $974.25 CAD for each $1000.00 CAD principal amount of Athabasca Oil Corp. 7.50% Senior Secured Second Lienh Notes due Nov.19,2017 tendered. Again, which option is the best and why?
Q: Just read the answer to the Nov 2017 notes offering. Just want to make sure I'm doing the math correctly. I read they are paying 1004.25/1000 which is only 100.425/100, so basically no premium. If I hold to maturity in 9 months it's 7.5% - 0.425 = 7.06% return. If I tender the offer it's 3 months interest of about 1.88% + 0.425 = 2.3% + interest made on a new investment. I would need to make 4.76% in 9 months (so a bond paying 6.3% annualy) to break even. I understand the risk and that the fixed income part is supposed to be the safe part of the portfolio, but is it really that big of a risk that Athabasca Oil will be bankrupt in 9 months and not be able to pay the principal back?
Q: Hello 5i team. In your view, how does PHY.U compare to CEF.A, CGL and CGL.C? We own units in the latter three, but are looking to add some more gold/silver bullion units to our portfolio. Thanks.
Q: What are the consensus revenue and earnings for Spin Master for their March reporting? Do you have an inkling on the impact of record Xmas sales vs. some returns for Hatchimals on the earnings? It's a 3% holding so I'm trying to gauge the present risk vs. Reward.
Q: My daughter would like to invest in something Robotics related in her RRSP...thinking long term. Would ATA be a good offering even though it is near a high?
Any other ideas? Would XIT be too broad?
Much appreciated, Paul
Q: I AM PRESENTLY BREAKING EVEN WITH AD. I HAVE SOME RESERVATIONS ABOUT ITS FUTURE PERFORMANCE. THEREFORE, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO SWITCH IT FOR ZCL. I HAVE AD IN MY TFSA AND THIS WOULD BE A LONG TERM HOLD. WOULD THIS BE A GOOD IDEA?
THANKS
JANE
Q: What is your opinion on the sale of the power business just announced? If the power business was largely carbon-based, it theoretically could be positive, I suppose.
Q: For industrials I have CP CNR WSP and MG. I would like to add one more to this sector. Do you have a favourite pick for medium and/or long term hold?
Q: I just got rid of HCG from my TFSA after watching it go down 20, 30, 40, finally almost 50% from when i bought it. MDA, also in my TFSA, seems to be embarking on the same course. Is there hope for it, or should I bite the bullet and abandon it as well?
I see on your coverage summary that you have CCL listed as basic materials, however TSX lists it as consumer cyclical. Can you confirm which category it falls into? Could it be somewhat industrial as well?
Q: I have been thinking about adding medical services to my portfolio.
There are several, in your opinion which one would you be better for the long term and dividend.
Q: I am interested in finding a few housing construction / housing sales related companies with good regional exposure to the GTA. Do you know of any such companies that exist? Thank you,
