Investment Q&A

Q: I held equal positions in Crwd Ftnt and Panw. Last week I trimmed 1/3 of my Crwd at 363 when it bounced up for a large gain. Crwd has dropped back a bit to the 320s. I am thinking of selling my Panw at a small gain and buying back my Crwd and adding to Ftnt.
What do you think of this plan? I appreciate all your good advice.
Thanks Peter

Q: Lion Electric LEV) share price is down considerably (almost order of magnitude lower) over the past few years. I thought Amazon was a private investor in LEV (please confirm) LEV has production.

Q: Hi,

Down over 50% on NVEI since my purchases back in 2021 and mid 2023. Is it time to throw this weed into the trash? Holding between my TFSA and margin accounts and its less than 1% of my holdings now. This is one of the larger losers in my portfolio and I would likely roll it into one of LMN, CSU, TOI, TVK, or HPS.A. Thoughts on the recovery potential or is just better to proceed and dump this one?

Thanks!

Q: Good morning,

Have you done any work on what asset classes or equity sectors significantly outperformed/underperformed while Trump was President from 2016-2020. I recall that that the USD did not do well; gold did very well.

Any views/analysis most welcome. And would you be worried about overall market directionality with his expected focus on China and tariffs?

Q: Good morning,


I am not crystal clear on the most tax efficient account to hold each of the above listed ETFs and before moving any of them to another type of account, I would very much appreciate your guidance on the most tax efficient type of account to hold each of the above listed ETFs.

The above listed ETFs are all held in our family Registered (RRSP/TFSA/RESP) and Non-Registered accounts.

Thank you and I'll await your sage advice.

Q: Sangoma stock keeps moving higher. Time to jump back in based on the valuation alone?

Q: I understand this is a new ETF issued by TD Asset Management. There is a little information on its website. I am interested in it as a short term cash management option. I could not determine the yield. If you look at the current holdings, it states over 90% is invested in other than Canada. In its top 10 it holds a number of Trusts and when you look into these they represent a range of money market investment options including car loans, credit card debt, etc. Though it states the risk is low, its holdings would seem to suggest otherwise. Firstly, can you compare TCSH yield with that of GICs or HISAs. Further, do you have an opinion of this ETF as a place to park money. If you prefer other like ETFs would you also state how you would rank them. Thank you.
