Investment Q&A

Q: With regard to the question about not being able to log in to TD WebBroker, here are two things to try. The first has worked for me. The second is worth trying.
Log in to EasyWeb, then switch over to WebBroker by clicking on an investment account. Log in on your phone using the mobile app. It may be that the inability to log in to WebBroker is due to a DDOS attack on the WebBroker log in, not that the entire system is down, and the banking and mobile log ins are not being hit. As a last resort you could phone them, but given the response time these days, that may be equally frustrating.

Q: Hi Peter and team,

I'm overweight tech and underweight the US and international by a lot.

I hold XAW at roughly 20% in my RRSP.
Currently have 13k in cash and will have another 15k once PEO shares get tendered in a LIRA account.

Can you recommend an ETF or two that can address both my problems. One that has zero to very minimal tech exposure, no canadian exposure. Preferably trading on the TSX.

Thanks,

Rino

Q: Hello Peter,
I hope this does not reduce my credits as it is a general question which i am sure other members would appreciate having an answer... I find overall the TD webbroker has many issues where one cannot log in at times. Today, it has been down a good part of the morning.. What avenues do investors have as we could be losing a substantial sum if we want to sell or buy stocks and the site is down at times.. There has to be some accountability for trading platforms. If these are not the type of questions relevant for this site, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Q: I am intending to sell SNC to crystallize a tax loss (early I know) but want to stay in the sector should the Feds suddenly decide to throw $$ at infrastructure. What do you suggest buying as a proxy in the meantime with the thought of buying back SNC after 30 days? I have WSP and a little ARE now and could possibly add to one or both. Not re-puchasing SNC is another option. Thanks you in anticipation.
