Investment Q&A

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

Q: The shares set a new all time high after recent Q results. Please go over the results and add insight as to whether or not the acceleration in the earnings over the last several Q's is sustainable or a one off associated with the spike in interest rates. Analysts average of price targets is $1534 implying 20% further price appreciation. Is it a buy, sell or hold at this time? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i,

I thought that I had sent this question but I will try again.

Re DRIP's. I hold different accounts. Over the years I have noted a discrepancy in the time it takes to deliver the shares. Some are delivered very quickly whereas other management accounts will take up to 10 days to deliver.
Is there an advantage to the management company by delaying the payment? Are there rules to the DRIP process?
I like the new rules to question time.
Thank you,
David

Q: I hope you can answer this tax question about my investments. I have a loss in my cash account on some PPL shares I own. I also hold PPL in my TFSA, where the shares are up substantially. Will the gain in my TFSA prevent me from claiming a tax loss if I sell my losing shares in my cash account?

Q: Hi,

Currently have no exposure to crypto and have been a spectator on the sidelines mainly. I held positions in HUT and HIVE awhile back but sold those. With almost certain approval of a spot bitcoin ETF, the market is gaining optimism and it seems investors are more bullish on crypto. What is your view on the current crypto market? Is this run up going to be followed by another crash or do you see more sustained rally with the new ETF? Is this rally going to be followed by another selloff once the ETF news is approved?

What are some low, med, higher risks positions to gain exposure if one wanted some small exposure. Here are some I'm watching. Can you rank whether they are low, med, or higher risk.

HUT, HIVE, BITF, RIOT, DGHI, MSTR, RIOT, COIN, GLXY

I know you own GLXY in the model portfolio already. Also, what would be your top ETF for exposure?

I'm a very disciplined investor, but on the edge of FOMO ; )

Thanks!

Q: This company pays a nice dividend and apparently provides short term mortgage financing to corporations. It seems like a "Steady-Eddie" holder of share value since 2012. I'd like to reduce equity risk in a portion of my portfolio, not add to my money market holdings and collect the 8%. Does this equity likely achieve those goals, does the dividend seem secure, has it ever been curtailed, does it's business model carry a higher degree or lower degree of risk in your view? Many thanks for providing your thesis on this one.

Q: I would appreciate your comments regarding their earnings release and the dividend cut. The market did not like the cut in dividend, but I am wondering as to whether this might at some point be a buy. Their payout ratio seemed low for a reit, even with a very high dividend. If the eliminated dividend reduces debt, would they also be a takeover target for a larger reit/
