Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello, looking for emerging markets, ETFs you recommend ex China and ex India (as I already hold INDY and FXI). Also looking for non-Canadian REIT ETF recommendations (I hold XRE). Finally what are your thoughts on preferred share ETFs and which would you recommend (Canadian or not) outside of CPD.
Thanks!

Q: Hi - Need some insight. I have had SWK for awhile and it has done well, but I am not sure how much more room there is for it to grow. I am thinking of selling and using the money on ATVI. Only concern is that ATVI might be a "Covid" stock whose value will decline with a vaccine. What do you think about these moves?

Q: Hi 5iR team,

Piggybacking on a question asked on Nov 10 about their recent quarterly results.
Do you have any concerns over yet another financing from DND? (the financing release came out Nov 11 after the question was asked).
They just completed one in Sept for $50 mil and now another one for $175 mil. I assume this is targeted for future acquisitions....but never assume. ;)
I do like the cloud space and they are targeted for 60+% growth next quarter so that appears attractive.
I did initiate a 1/4 position @ $21.75 and plan to do so each quarter if the Q looks good...and if it is still on your 'good' list.

Cheers,
SteveMc

Q: It is hard to imagine that this pandemic will one day be a distant memory but eventually life will return to a pre pandemic normal. Can you name 4 or 5 Canadian traded stocks that suffered during the pandemic that you believe will have growth potential in this future?

Q: Received these in the spin out from the units. Brookfield units are long term; held in my RRSP. ( turning into RIF in 2022 ). Considering the premium on the corps, would you sell and reinvest back into the units?
Thanks, Derek

Q: I would like to get your opinion on where you see the markets headed between now and the actual release date for a vaccine? I can’t think of any catalyst to drive the markets higher considering they have recovered all losses since March.
Thanks

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor. I own AQN, FTS, TRP.

I am trying to put into perspective the relative market share (whatever the appropriate metric is?) of Renewable Energy vs Traditional Energy. The recent surge in renewables has, I'm sure, accelerated the transition from traditional to renewable. I am wondering how far into the future the oil industry has (20 years?)?

While I have no data, I suspect if we broke down the various energy subsectors into Renewables (solar, hydro, tidal, wind) vs Gas vs Oil, that Renewables would currently make up roughly 10-20%? Can you please give me the current breakdown vs where we are forecast to be in 5-10-20 years?

Thanks...Steve
