Investment Q&A

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

Q: Let's start with the past! Going nowhere for several years except for numerous lawsuits, litigation, high settlement costs & legal fees - BUT, the worm turns and, I believe, there maybe light at the end of the tunnel! At least, that's my current position since I still own a chunk at close to 6 dollars! While I completely agree with your cutting the cord about 2 years ago, I would appreciate a revisit & up to date opinion.
Thank you.

Q: How serious do you think the market's reaction will be to the company's latest press release which said, in part, - " Theratechnologies inc. (TSX:TH) regretfully announces that the Government of Quebec, the province where EGRIFTA ® was discovered, has refused to add it to the list of reimbursed medications." ?

Thank you for your valued opinion.

Q: Hello Team,

If you had choice, what type of account would you hold a stock like QSR in? Reason i ask is the volume of trading is almost triple in the USA. i was thinking of buying it in the US portion of my RRSP. Also,what impact do you think the stock will have if interest rates rise in the US, and the Republican Party wins the election? Seems i have asked a three part question, charge me accordingly!

Thank you

Stephen

Q: Hello 5i team,

I'm currently building a portfolio from scratch for my mother who is 61 and retired. We are thinging conservative value and income equities for 10+ years.

Which 5 stocks, either from your balanced or income portfolio would you use as building blocks? If possible, can you recommend stocks that are fairly priced at the moment?

Thank you for your excellent service,

Cam.

Q: I have held CNQ for a long time and still show a good profit. Knowing that it's not your favourite energy company, could you please give me your current opinion of it? And which ones you prefer over it?

Regarding PHM I'd like to tell Patrick that I feel his pain. I bought this at $1.42 in my TFSA and it's still sitting there.

Thanks to all at 5i for your usual good service.

Q: I notice lately that a fair number of questions from members do not have
any related ID's (I.E. Ticker Symbols) at the top of the questions. This will hamper future search "By Symbol" results.
Could you not in these instances automatically add these tickers to your
database (even if the Member does not specifically request it) and re-post the question with the ticker?

Thanks,

Scot

Q: A question related to portfolio weightings. I used to only have individual stock names and a fairly equal balance across various sectors. I just purchased an market ETF the other day (VUN) to get additional exposure and classified it as "other", but it didn't feel right when I noticed that the weighting of my other sectors went down.

As an example, if I had x% in a particular sector, but made a large contribution due to new cash into a market ETF, the original x% in that sector would now show up lower in my own calculations. How do you account for this? I don't want to be overleveraged in a particular sector by mistake.
