Investment Q&A

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

Q: Let's assume I am ready to bet that the stock market will provide me 7-10% CAGR over the next 20 years. I could buy an index that tracks the market. But is there an ETF that could provide me with 2x or 3x leverage on this bet (with the help of derivatives or any other tool/tactics that I have no chance of understanding), hence providing me with 20%-30% CAGR ?

That would be too easy right ?

Q: I noticed an interesting thing the other day, with the CPI announcement in the US causing a sudden severe tech market downdraft. Tech stocks such as Amazon went down about 6% and have stayed there. Smaller Canadian tech stocks didn't however. I hold both Converge and Topicus and they are both trading higher than they were two or three days ago. Does this decoupling mean that smaller Canadian tech stocks may have bottomed? Ie. all of the weak shareholders have been flushed out and mostly long term holders now hold the shares?

Q: With oil and interest rates being a big topic in the Markets for awhile - I follow CNBC which provides me with good information available. When the going gets tough, they bring in two of their heavy hitters being David Rosenberg (being interviewed at CNBC studios in New York) also, being interviewed remotely is Eric Nuttall of Ninepoint (is this connected to Sprott?) Seems like the Canadians are in big demand for this type of information.
