Q: Good evening
A recent article in the Financial Times identified the simple ETF portfolio as having 3 equal components - global value ETF, global momentum ETF and a global small-cap ETF. The author provided statistical support. Please advise which ETFs [global or US] you would recommend for each one.
Thanks
Q: Company shares have basically flatlined for close to 3 yrs. is there any hope of a share price increase? Increased drilling by the exploration sector (with recent higher prices) and with continued production services revenue should this co. not benefit? The high share count is also somewhat worrisome. Thoughts?
I have a question about Rate Reset preferred shares. Where do you think the cutoff point is for a company not to extend their preferred share?
The call will affect my yield to maturity calculation.
As examples, TD Bank has a preferred share with a reset of GOC 5 year plus 1.68% (TD.PR.Y) and another at 4.66% (TD.PF.G). I would assume TD won’t call the 1.68% and will call the 4.66% at maturity.
I will ask the same question in the forums under “preferred shares” to get additional opinions from any member wanting to help another member.
Q: STM has been severely underperforming the US market indices, even underperforming other chip stocks. Do you know any reason why? Is there any reason to suspect that earnings will not be up to estimates?
The last week has had a mass sell of in stocks - particularly the tech sector - do you think this is another dip and then the bull market will be back to the races? Or is there going to be a long term downward correction? I know no one knows the actual answer but in your opinion and with your experience and expertise, what are your thoughts?
Q: It appears US tech stocks are falling out of favour recently. Do you see this continuing? If so, what sector do you suggest and if you could suggest a couple stocks. Thanks
Q: Any thoughts on why Pivot Technologies dropped 10%+ today? Company specific news, or just the market? Do you see more possible volatility with this stock? Thanks.
Q: The preferreds of various insurance companies are getting whacked with numerous issues hitting yearly lows on Friday, including some not connected with the Mosten lawsuit such as GWO. As a holder of several investment grade issues of these companies it is difficult for me to quantify how large the potential liability could be. Does 5i have any sense of this?
Q: Hi,
With Precision drilling buying TDG, how should I go about my TDG shares? Would it stay at $1.98 or would my TDG funds be transferred to PD stock in my brokerage account?
