Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello,

A recent answer mentioned no-fee GIC's. I'm puzzled. We have several GIC's and with various companies. The yearly statements we now get from our advisor (statements that are supposed to be more transparent about fees) says every one pays a fee to our advisor. The GIC rates are net of these fees of course but, in my opinion, these are fees and all are pretty big percentages when compared against the net GIC pay-out. Your thoughts? Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i team, thanks for your information on beating estimates or not . I just want to see how volatile the short term price action is as it can move up or down in the 10, 15% range. How do you define profit taking as stock price drop ? Is there a maximum % drop before it is not profit taking ? Thanks.

Q: I currently owned both CM , TD and ZBK in a non rrsp account. I would like to sell CM. My total % holding in ZBK and TD are quite low . If I buy ZBK I still maintain the financial allocation but increase my US holding. I know I would lose the dividend that CM pay as ZBK is quite low, or would it be better to buy more TD and increase the weight of this stock.

Thanks

Q: High dividend stocks are getting hit today with exception of a couple of pipelines. Has something happened that the market now expects interest rates to move up?? Otherwise why are all these stocks being hit at the same time?
