Q: Thanks to your sage advice, I invested in Magna some time ago and am now enjoying the fruits of my labour. My question is does this stock remain potentially quite undervalued and would further purchases been recommended?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Are there tax implications with holding HXS in a TFSA given that the dividends are not distributed? I have no US holdings, and in my (latish) retirement, I've decided I could use some US exposure. Would it be a suitable single ETF to hold? I could hold it in my non registered account if that would be better, or if you can suggest another suitable ETF that could go in the TFSA, that'd be great. Many thanks.

Q: Just need a bit of clarification about your response to my biotech questions answered earlier today. You begin by stating that once biotech has a run, it usually continues running. However, subsequently, you call it a 'tough sector'. Does this mean you are lukewarm to the sector?
Thx

Q: Can you comment on the upcoming Roots (ROOT) IPO? I am on the fence regarding whether or not I should participate in the IPO, or wait to see how the shares of the company do in the first couple of months after the IPO is completed. Thanks so much!

Q: Can I get your opinion of the latest quarter and the out look for this company. Thanks

Q: I know you generally don't suggest buying on the IPO but wondered what you think of roots? Also, do you think they will eventually pay a dividend.
And a Second question- would you choose Roots over Goose.

Q: I would like your opinion on Velan Inc VLN in Toronto with the recent passing of thew founder. Would you think this would add to the odds that this company is sold?

Q: Inflation is low and BOC rates are still at very low rates - money is cheap to get. IMHO the only place to make money is in the stock market, but seniors want low risk and for many decades placed money in high yielding low risk investments - GICs. Recently I applied for and received a 5 year closed mortgage at 2.49%, which means rates will stay low for at least five years. Our population is aging and that segment of investors like low risk, which leads to lower returns.

My question, when do you think or believe interest rates will rise to a new normal and therefore the stock market will see a competition for money from seniors? Therefore, by default lower returns in the stock market.

As always thanks for your comments.

Q: Hello team:

I saw an article about the new ETFs by Wisdom Tree and Horizon's. DGRC caught my attention.

Any thoughts or opinion on this? Instead of ZDV or XDV or VDY....worth buying this one?
Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,
A few days ago, in your most recent answer on a Callidus (CBL) question, you closed by saying:
“We think there will be more clarity in the next 30-60 days and with a 3% position, we would simply sit tight for the time being.”
This struck me as interesting because I was thinking was that a longer timeframe (more like 2+ quarters) would likely be required for the company to show sufficient progress in portfolio growth and (maybe more importantly) value realization to re-kindle sufficient interest to support a go-private transaction. But given your comment I’m wondering if I was missing an interim catalyst that might clarify their situation sooner. Can you say what made the shorter timeframe potentially significant in your view? Thanks!

Q: Can you explain the recent run up in price?

Q: what would be your top 3-5 Canadian dividend paying stocks for someone with a lower risk tolerance?

Q: After owning potash for a couple of years and now at exactly where I bought it, would you keep it? Is there growth potential? It has been in a narrow trading range for two years so is it ready to break out. Is the agrium/potash merger a good thing for potash stock.

Q: In response to your Sept. 29 comment on Parkland, I'm wondering if it's time to get out? I am still ahead, but it looks like it must have been dead money for some time. It's in a TFSA, so any losses would not be claimable. Your advice would be welcome, Thanks.
