Investment Q&A

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

Q: I continue to be concerned about the market and corrections and being somewhat more defensive in my holdings. ATD.B has been held at about 3% of my total portfolio for about 3 years and it has met my expectations. Nevertheless, I realize I am under-diversified in the consumer staples sector. Would selling my ATD.B and buying XST, perhaps to a 5% level, be wise, in your opinion, or just me letting anxiety leading me to some 'churning'. I'm a senior-plus so at a stage of withdrawing from my accounts for some income.
Thanks for your input and forgive the wordiness.

Q: Shareholders of Prometic are being offered a rights issuance where each existing share owned will allow you to buy 20 shares at 1.5 cents. It is trading at 7 cents now real time. Am I missing something or should I jump at the deal. I thought the trading price would instantly come down to the dilution price mentioned in the release.

Q: I have been wondering about Boeing's stock price being able to be bulletproof to this point ( other companies would have been footnotes in history at this point).

I had begun to think that maybe, everyone would forget and their progress higher would reset in a few months, as many pundits have suggested.

But then I came across this post on quora suggesting boeing's possible path to bankruptcy.

Q: Will you entertain a bond question, please? I bought the Canada Real Return bond in 2010 @ 1.8958 intending to hold to maturity, and have been waiting for robust inflation ever since. Central banks around the globe say "no, not now", while full employment and a few commodity prices say "right around the corner". The bond has declined to around 1.7927 and will go to 1.0000 at maturity. What would you do?

Q: Hi 5i,
Looking to reduce some of the risk with the above Consumer Cyclical stocks, I'm currently at 14% portfolio weight with each of the stocks equal in sector weight.

How many would you keep, consolidate and/or replace with new to be sector diversified with less risk?

Thanks,
Chris M.

Q: I own the ETF CGL.C and AEM and just wondering if I really need to own CGL.C.?Looking at the history of this ETF it has not done too much in return and wonder if it would be better to just sell CGL.C and put the proceed into AEM as my weight is not very high in AEM. Both are in a non -registered account. Your thoughts?
Thanks
