Investment Q&A

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

Q: The following is a comment you made earlier. I am wondering if this pertains to the stock ET or the etf.
Any way, I am also interested in acquiring ET, and if this is the case, what would you consider an appropriate stink bid, and should this be put in place thanks
Thanks for your usual good service

"However, sometimes the price will go down during the day, and not all ETF managers utilize market at close trading. Thus, putting in a stink bid on a stock can sometimes get you a good fill. We always find this trading interesting, because it is a time when fundamentals do not matter. Index players simply trade because of the index, meaning good companies can trade more cheaply on occasion without any change in their prospects. "

Q: Since mid 2013 SLW has bounced several times between $20 and $30. I bought it at $20 with the intention of selling at $30, and held on only to land back down at $20. It is approaching $30 again, and I am yet again hesitating over the sell button (not a trader!). Do you see anything different in the stock that might push it up over $30 this time?

Q: Hi Team,
I was considering buying this ETF for yield and relative safety for the next couple of years. Can you share your thoughts. I am assuming that it has declined because the recent BOC rate cut?

Thanks as always for your reply.

Thanks.

Q: In reply to Kelly, we receive US Social Security and have it sent to our BMO US dollar account. No problem. Then we simply transfer it to pay our US credit cards, or into Canadian funds for use here as required.

Q: I purchased this at $1.00 last year in US funds based on a recovery in the US housing market and the stock has been declining since.

I receive positive news releases and 5i provided the following previous comments which more or less gave me some positive to hold on to the stock, however I am doubting whether I should continue.
Can you please provide some assurance here to hang on or sell.
Thanks in advance
Delavaco management look OK, although we do not have familiarity with them. It is fairly new, but has 844 homes in its portfolio, and recently announced some sales, with gains in the 50% range on purchase price. Its last quarter showed very little in revenue, but we would expect more concrete numbers going forward. It is interesting: management owns 25% of the company, and as a call in US housing it may work well. It is small and speculative, though, and mostly a management bet. It also will need more time to grow and monetize its portfolio

Q: According to this news, Intertain Group is in the process of selling off a significant portion of their assets for 1B. If their market cap is >500M and this goes through would this not cause their per share price to spike 100% or am I dreaming in a haze of confusion?
