Investment Q&A

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

Q: Dear Peter et al:

I see a lot of chatter about rare metals in the media. Some columnists, especially Technical analysts seem to favor this sector. Your answer to a fellow subscriber few months ago seems to lean towards REMX. However, it's returns seem to lag ZMT/XBM.

Do you think there is a role for rare metals at this time in one's portfolio? If so, what is your favorite ETF and why?

Thanks in advance.
Mano.

Q: I understand that you, generally, are not fans of ultra-short etfs and their ilk for various (very valid) reasons. However, if an exception were to be made, would it apply to the "Advisorshares Dorsey Wright Short"? Running it through the excellent Qtrade Portfolio Simulator in conjunction with my current portfolio produces excellent downside risk protection and diversification numbers with minimal reductions in performance, income and fee numbers. Your perspective would be much appreciated.
Regards
David

Q: You have thoughts about gold going forward?As a tangible asset instead of Bitcoin and other digital coins I have a strong feeling that gold might be at the beginning stages of a strong rally.
Some gold miners also have a good dividend as well.How did gold perform in history when we had inflation,recession,war,debt?
Please give us some insight here and what is the overall opinion from the analysts?
If there are three gold-companies to pick...which ones?

Q: Dear 5i.

I like the idea of investing in the Data theme but would like to take the single co risk out by looking for an ETF that has several of the ones you like imbedded? Can you help me identify one (or more) please.
If none available, which 3-4 of the names you like would create a suitable basket?

Thanks for your help.

Q: If you bot the S+P 500 in early 2000, it would have taken until early 2013 to see a general return to profitability in your portfolio. If 1970 inflation type problems persist (high oil prices and high interest rates), when would your best guess be for high PE stocks( DOCU ,ROKU, ADBE , TTD ) to recover and return to the highs we saw recently? Is it possible we may need to wait that long?

Q: Hi,
I've long been watching Nvidia and I know you like it a lot. With it's big drawdown I am likely to buy it. My dilemma is I don't have room in my cash or TFSA accounts for it, without either selling other growth companies I like or paying capital gains tax. I do have room in RRSPs. Do you think it would still be worth buying in an RRSP since any growth would be taxed at a higher rate once sold?
Thanks for your perspective.

Q: I have held XSB in my fixed income portion of my RRSP for a year now down 7% plus dividend. In your opinion with rates maybe peaking this year would a move to XLB or CBO make sense or just hold XSB. Will not be touching for 4 years.

Thanks

Q: 5I team: From many previous answers with regards to oil stocks I gathered that white cap was rated quite well in the oil sector. Recently I am not so sure. I typically carry something on margin and currently it happens to be white cap . Paid 12.50 per share so today down 4% at this moment and not sure to crystallize a loss. Under my scenario on margin would you advise any other options in same or other sector . Can you advise sell or hold or top choices for replacement? I do own mg, enb, and ntr. and vrif, for diversification.Any thought much appreciated.Tks Larry
