Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi,
Maybe not the forum, where I need to ask about this.

Salaries/income has stayed flat over the past couple of years....the real estate prices have increased SUBSTANTIALY.

How long can this party last? The disconnect between income and house prices is just growing and growing.....infinitum .

Here is my Question.
How long can the near zero rates continue ? If this monetary policy is making the real estate sector and the stock market boom, then should the Govt not continue this zero interest rate policy FOR EVER ? I am not good at finance/economics, could you please explain, why would any Govt. ever increase rates, if low rates generate growth ?

Q: What are your thoughts on this income fund, I’ve held it for over a year and see its the price has been climbing this year, up from a price in the low $10.00 range last year.
It provides a very healthy yield (+10%) and was a Gordon Pape suggestion over a year ago at this price level. Is it a good steady fund to own for income in one’s RRSP?

Thnx

Q: Hi Peter,

Would you put new money into this ETF ARKK following the recent sell-off? This ETF has >22% in three companies ; TSLA, SQ and ROKU all of which are quite volatile names so this ETF could go either way depending on the market, right? Looking for growth, medium to high risk, 5-10 years hold.

Thanks in advance.

Q: CIA and RS have both been on my watch list. CIA has hit the price at which I was prepared to buy, but with such a drop in price over the last short while, I am just checking with you to see if there's something I've missed before I pull the trigger ?
Also, would RS, which hasn't come off like CIA, be a significantly preferred choice or some of both ? Any thoughts on entry price for RS ?
Thank you, as always.
