Investment Q&A

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

Q: This is a follow up to David’s question(05.12.17). If one sells PEY for a tax loss would you replace with another oil or gas company? If no, why? If yes, which companies (say 2 or 3)?
Thanks, Bryn

Q: Just a comment in reference to Steve's question on December 4th.
One mutual fund that might be comparable to MAW104 is Manulife monthly high income fund managed by Alan Wick. Often rated above MAW in Moneysense's annual ratings. I know a financial advisor who recommends this fund as his 'little old lady' fund, stable and reliable. Do you have an opinion on this fund?

Q: Just following up to my ECN question where I noted the stock has done nothing but go down for weeks now. You noted "It will not be a 'straight up' type of stock, however."
You definitely got that part right as it seems to be a straight down type of stock now.
Hopefully management rolls out their new buy sooner rather than later as this stock is really getting ugly.

Q: I have owned shares in Smart Real estate for many years and still have a profit of 115%. I have a well balanced portfolio. I was wondering if it is worth keeping (considering it has been losing value over the last year) or would it be better to pay the tax and invest in something else? I do not depend on the income. Could you also comment on its last quarter report?

Q: I am about to manage my grandkids resp. They have about 52000 to eventually cover the 10 and 6 year old. Monthly contributions of 300 are being made with some "top ups" as available. I would like to have them invest about 20-25% in individual stock or stocks and the balance in ETFS. How should I approach the ETF portion and do you have recommendations?

Q: I have a question about two companies.

11.6% of XX shares were acquired by Campbell at 39.5 cents. The stock was halted and it dropped after the halt was removed to around 33 cents. Do you think there is something cooking or it is just pure speculation. Would you recommend buying If already owned.

CHH dropped a lot due to CEO resignation and the shares dropped. I already had some shares at 63 cents and I bought more at 53. Is this a good company for one year time frame. Thanks
