Investment Q&A

Q: Good day and happy New Year team,

This is a twofold question so deduct as many credits as needed. First, I know multiple questions have been asked about GUD in the past. I've been in the name for a few years and hold a gain. That said, how much more patience should one have with this stock? At what time should an investor move on because it really seems like not much is happening?
Second question not related to the first. I dabble in penny stocks and I constantly see 100 share bids from the same house. Bid gets filled and immediately another 100 share bid appears. My question is this a sign of a house accumulating and keeping the price low to do so? I know that's a general question. I'm just wondering if this is some form of manipulation by some bigger players.
Cheers

Q: With regards to a recent post where one transfers in-kind a stock from an Open Account to a TFSA:

If there was a capital loss this would be a superficial loss as you had mentioned. As for taxes if such a transfer were made, is it a case of simply ignoring (i.e. not claiming) this loss) on your tax return? Does anything else need to be done?

Thanks.
Jim

Q: Any thoughts on DAN? I've held it for a while, and will continue to do so. Seems like progress is slow and steady, but there has been little in the way of movement or new for a while now.

Apologies if this is a duplicate. I thought i had asked it a couple days ago, but it's not showing up in My Questions.

Q: When I am reading the questions that other people asked, every time I have to click the "Read" button to open your response. Is there any setting that I can select so your answers are automatically open so I don't have to do an extra click?
Thanks.

Q: I own these three (half positions) and have had TRP for a long time so up about 70% on it and down about 20% on the other two. Would it make any sense to sell TRP and divie the cash proceeds between the other two (TOY and KXS)? I do already own ENB (full position).
Thanks again.

Q: Hello, Medtronic the medical device company is down by more than 6% today only (down by 12% in the last month). Is there something we should know about. Thanks, Gervais

Q: Good morning,

All four of our family TFSAs and RESP are invested in a mix of Mawer equity and balanced funds.

I'm reading a number of very favourable articles on the benefits of holding a one etf solution for a well diversified portfolio and was wondering if I should consider:
a. keeping the Mawer funds in our TFSAs and RESP but purchasing either VBAL or CBD.A for new TFSA and RESP contributions;
b. Sell all of our MAWER funds and buy either VBAL, CBD.A and perehaps some VGRO for the RESP given that our grandchildren are only 7 years old.

Your thoughts and adjustment suggestion to our TFSA and RESP holdings would be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Can you explain the advantage of purchasing CBO with a yield of 2.74% instead of GIC's (1yr @ 2.6% & 2yr @ 2.8%-3% ) and Corporate bonds such as BNS 2-yr @ 3.27%?

Cheers,
Debbie and Jerry

Q: How likely is Mindbody going to receive a sweetened offer from Vista Equity Partners based on your experience?

Is the deal at risk here?

The cash offer represented a 68% premium to the prior trading day’s closing price but the SP was depressed due to recent reduced guidance combined with the fall's downturn. Shares have been trading at or near the purchase price of $36.50.

Q: I bought both of these for dividend. But of course I'm not comfortable with the huge losses. Both are down significantly and not recovering well. Are there any reasons to hold these or should the money be put elsewhere?

Thanks,

John

Q: Hi
I often see on the SEDAR website the title Company A (formerly Company B) where company B is totally unrelated to company A. Would this be a form of cost savings for company A by taking over/changing a name or a red flag for me?
Thank you

Q: Hi fellows,
In the US consumer cyclical sector, would crox be a good buy now in view of the coming spring/summer and is it very sensitive to the Asian markets ? What would be your favorites in the consumer cyclical sector, Canada and USA, for the coming months ?

JD

Q: Given the uncertainty in short term market direction,I have 50% of my TFSA in cash.I believe Canadian interest rates are not going to rise.I am considering the choices listed above, unless you can suggest others.I also have some cash in my US$ RRSP and am considering the Vanguard fund for this cash.US rates may climb further,but not much.Perhaps you could rate these according to risk.
Thank you.
