Investment Q&A

Q: Can you pls recommed 3 hedged CDN ETFs that focus on US high dividend stocks, with an estiated 10% yield including both dividend and capital appreciagtion for over the next 1 year?

Q: Tech is the second largest weighting in my portfolio (at 20%). I have 3/4 of a position in PANW, with most of my initial investment out, and am up 474% on the remainder. I also own NVDA, AMD, APPL, FISV, MSFT and a few other small, high risk non-cyber security positions.

With the outage crisis this week with CRWDI decided to take advantage, understanding the potential overhang. I opened a position in 2 tranches; buying in the $256-$265 range.

My question: Now I have approximately 1.5 positions in the cybersecurity sub-sector. Would it make sense to sell off some or all of PANW, generate cash to create a full position in CRWD as it bounces along in the $250 range, or is the better move to stay with the two positions?

Q: Hello,

Q: Writing in again because I keep hesitating about how to start a high growth all equity portfolio..

For context, I am 39 years of age, with a comfortable income, and planning on working about 25 years. This would be for retirement money.

You previously answered you would be comfortable with an SP500 index fund as VFV of SPY as opposed to an all in one equity fund such as VEQT or XEQT, from what I understood.

Can you please suggest a porfolio of 5 to 7 all equity ETFs that you believe to be superior to the all in one variety. I don’t necessarily care about the truisms about absolutely needing to be geographically diverse. And I certainly prefer to avoid Canadian home bias.

Thank you.

Q: Tough question for you guys. Can you give some stocks on either Canadian and/or US exchanges that are reasonable TotalReturn proxies for XIU over a 1, 3, 5, 10 and 15 years or more time horizon.

Q: Hi Peter, for NVEI the 34.00 US how is it calculated and when is it calculated. I have 60 shares so if I sell today I'll get what I get today at today's price but if I sell it the day it actually it goes private how much of a difference would there be. What exchange rate will be used. Thanks

Q: What’s your most recent detailed opinion on Ford today. Buy, sell or hold? And if a sell what would you swap into?

Q: Western forest Products (WEF) has really taken a pounding. It reports its second quarter results on July 31. west fraser already reported and the shares have been rising. I know they are different forestry companies but was the lift in share value because there is optimism in the forestry industry or was it specific to West Fraser. I was thinking of averaging down on my WEF holding just because the share price is so low. The market cap is only about 130 million and I believe that WEF still has little debt so my way of thinking is, "this can't go much lower!!" Surely all their 6 sawmills, industrial land, three manufacturing plants and all their timber rights have to be worth more than 130 million!!! Or am I looking at this all wrong?

Q: Your comments please on earnings of FSV and WCN.

Thanks

Thanks

Q: Have had good results over two years but wondering is it time to let it go.
Is it a hold or sell and any suggestions on a replacement.
Thank you for all your help

Q: I just looked at the insider report. Brian Beetie did a private buy of 36 million warrants on July 12th. Also EGLX had just secured a 20 million term loan. Are these strong hints things may be turning around. I cant see why an insider would, out of the blue, take such an extreme position.

Q: Hi team,

I am trying to pick a 2 or 3 small/mid-caps for strong growth for at least 5 years. What are your views on the stocks above ? Do they fit the bill ? What is the risk factor ? Any better suggestions ?

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

Q: Hello,

What was your take on VRT earnings, growth and current valuation?

At what point would you start adding aggressively?

Q: I have a 4% position in BKNG. With yesterday’s pullback and it being close to 10% off it’s high ..if it were you, would you bring it to a full 5% or would you recommend a different investment? For small caps, if you had $50k to invest and risk/concentration wasn’t a factor.. what would you look at?

Q: what are your thoughts?
price has gone up a lot
p/e is really high
Time to sell?

Q: I bought this stock, because I thought there was a pent-up demand for new pilots. I have lost 10 -15%, since I bought it, now for the last couple of years it has gone no where, but sideways. So, is there actually a shortage of pilots?
Also, what is the forecast for the remainder of this year and next year. I am seriously thinking of selling. Now I am looking for your advice as to whether to sell this stock or keep it.
Thank you
Earl
