Investment Q&A

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

Q: I hold both CAE (TFSA) and RTX (RRSP) as my industrial exposure and am starting to feel that it is too much focus on aerospace. The delisting of RTX from the DOW raises more concerns and it has been disappointing. Do you think both need to be held? If one was to be let go which one would you choose? What are your current favorite industrials in both Canada and the US as potential replacements and why? Do not need funds anytime soon as federal defined benefits pension/retirement is still 25+ years away.

Thanks so much for the fantastic service!

Q: MYCO can you comment on this company? As far as I can tell:
1. Psychedelic's could be the next cannabis industry
2. The company seems to be in great financial health,
3. A recent voluntary lockup agreement with certain shareholders means no dumping of shares
4. they've hired a past marketing exec with Red Bull - as much as fundamentals matter a good story teller is nice to have.

Is this a story worth pursuing?

Q: Morning Peter and Team,
The National, a Abu-Dhabi based publication, recently published an article stating that several of Alibab's biggest investors in the States (all institutional investors) had swapped billions of dollars in Alibaba's US shares for Hong Kong-listed stocks to avoid potential sanctions and delistings of big Chinese tech companies.
Please comment on how would the process of delisting Chinese stocks from US markets work and and how likely do you see this coming to fruition? Also should it indeed come to past, what would happen to the shares of Chinese tech stocks that were already bought through the US exchanges prior to delisting taking place?
Finally are there ways where retail investors can access overseas stock markets such as the Hongkong Exchanges (HKEX)?
Best regards and thanks for your help.

Q: I have 7% invested in ZWU covering the Canadian market plus I hold ENB, KEY and ALA individually. I do not have any exposure to the energy, water, electric or natural gas utilities which operate in the USA. Thus far there have been no questions on this fund, PSCU, and I would like to obtain your assessment of its prospects going forward. This interests me in that it holds smaller cap stocks which are always there for being acquired by a larger firm although I am not considering this fund specifically for that reason.
I am retired so dividends/distributions are important but equally important is fund security. May I have your opinion.
Thank you

Q: Often it is mentioned that management of Well sold their prior company, Tio Networks to PayPal. Was it a huge premium to the share price when they sold? I can’t find any info on Tio Networks,
If Well goes on an acquisition strategy do you think they would do an equity financing to raise money. I always seem to buy a company just before they decide to raise money and the stock falls as companies seem to raise money after a huge run up in the stock and then do a bought deal at a significant discount to the market price and individual investors are blocked out of these deals,

Q: After many years I still remember when gold was a great investment until the day arrived and it was not. Also silver was hot (remember the Hunt brothers?) The memory lingers because I lost a few dollars in the process.
Since then I have stayed clear of precious metals however perhaps the time has arrived (late of course) when I should reconsider a small step back into the arena.
Do you believe FNV may have a chance of restoring by belief in the future (five years) of the precious metal market? In other words should I take a small position or wait for the next shoe to drop?
Thanks
