Investment Q&A

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

Q: I would like to 'park' some money in a product like HSAV which generates capital gains instead of interest. I would thus be able to offset the gains with losses YTD. I understand this ETF can no longer be purchased through major bank brokerages as they would rather have you purchase their own money market fund. Is there a workaround ?

Q: Just a comment, not a question. To Hal's question about sites that report ROIC. Morningstar provides 10 year historical ROIC metrics for companies, and its free.

Q: Due to interest rates, both GSY, AFRM and UPSThave taken a beating.

However you seem optimistic about GSY but not AFRM and UPST. What's the reason?

Do you see GSY doubling over the next 12 months.

I am thinking to sell my AFRM and UPST and buy GSY i stead.

Q: Peter; Re the SHORT question. I learned the hard way that “ stop loss sells” do not function in after hours trading ! I assume stop loss buys would be similar. It’s very frustrating to see a stop loss blow through your prices in after hours and nothing happens.

Q: I believe that the tides are changing for nuclear power/attitudes are shifting.. over the next decade i expect there will be a lot more demand for uranium.

What are the best ways to play this? Cameco is the one that comes to mind, but would a Uranium price based index be best or some sort of mix? I'd like something that has a bit of torque without being too risky.

What do you think?

Q: With no tax implications; if you had a significant short term profit in META would YOU be inclined to take profit and move to another name(s)?
If so what would be your 2 or 3 stocks highest conviction names for a 1 to 3 year hold and why?
Thanks, Hugh

Q: You recently said that BN has more upside potential than the Canadian banks. However, I can't bring myself to trust BN management for a number of reasons, including opaque financials, constant shuffling of assets, too many interrelated corporate entities and emphasis on non-GAAP measures rather than good old-fashioned earnings. What gives you confidence that BN is a better long term investment than the Canadian banks?

Q: Hello 5i
We currently hold CBO, CLF & XRB at 25/25/50% all as long term holdings in a slight loss position. I believe we are currently at (or very near) peak interest rates. Do you have any suggestions to bond replacements that might be better positioned to capture rate reductions for these holdings. (not accounting for the bonus of tax loss selling)
Again many thanks
Les

Q: I am looking to add exposure to Canadian Banks. Given current pricing it seems like a good time to add exposure. Can you rank your favourite banks at this time. Do you have a preferred Bank ETF that could also provide good Canadain Banking exposure.

Thanks

Q: Peter,

You recently mentioned recently the way to play AI was through U.S. Mega cap companies. Which ones in particular were you referring to ? Are there any ETF's worth reviewing?
