Investment Q&A

Q: I was wondering why the SP of TWM had been weak lately while the rest of the energy sector has been rebounding. This morning I stumbled into this while doing research. And BXE is a good example of a stock that has had a nice climb over the past 10 days. As always, I would appreciate your views.

Q: ZMT is a 3 bagger from January 2016 to February 2018, but has fallen slightly since. Is this a good time in the economic cycle to purchase this etf or has the easy money been made ie do you think there is still good growth potential? What would you consider a maximum weighting?

What’s is up with Spin Master? Dropping like a stone as of late. Any news we don’t know about or is it the same old song and dance Toys or Us?

Q: Hi 5iResearch Team,

I am looking to put some money in an ETF that is focused on space technology (something similar to Elon Musk's SpaceX and likewise companies are engaging in) and was wondering if such an ETF exists. Your help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Q: Hi Peter. To my dismay, I currently hold too many pipelines... Enbridge, Pembina, & Inter Pipeline. I wish to cut 2 of the positions and then possibly pickup Algonquin Power. I also own Fortis & Emera. Which pipeline would you suggest keeping, and your reasoning behind it. Also, do you feel 3 power utilities would then be too many and if so, which 2 would you prefer? I welcome your input. Thanks.

Q: Good day,

I currently have in my TFSA portfolio the following stocks which you had recommended
(KXS, PHO, SIS, TOY, PBH, SHOP and DOL). I have 10K which would like to add to my TFSA. What stocks would you consider purchasing to compliment what I already own?

Q: I currently own in my RRSP the following stocks : GUD, KXS, SLF, SIS, AQN (1/2) and FTS (1/2). I have 6K$ that I would like to add to only two or three of those stocks to avoid too much trading costs.
I have a longterm timeframe (20years +) for my RRSP and am diversified across my other accounts.
I was thinking of KXS, SLF and SIS first, but utilities also look quite cheap to me these days.
What would be your selection? I'd rather not add a new position to avoid having to many...

Q: I am looking for a good intermediate-duration corporate bond ETF, and was favouring ZCM, until I learned that BMO has come out with ZCB. The duration for ZCB is slightly shorter and the fees are lower. Which do you think would be the better choice for a long-term hold for consistent income, or is there a different intermediate-duration corporate bond ETF that you would prefer to these two? Do you think with the introduction of this ETF, that similar funds from iShares and Vanguard will see their MERs drop accordingly to match the low MER of ZCB? I also hold VSB as part of my fixed income allocation. Thank you very much.

Q: In your answer about Shaw you mentioned "competitive wireless space".
What items are included in that reference?

Q: Hi Peter and team - Could you provide me with an update on ATAC Resources - in particular its cash on hand, debt (if any), insider ownership, resource discovery potential and anything else that you think would be relevant. I am considering taking an initial and small position in the company. Thank you.
