Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello,
Im wondering What you think of these two companies now that they have come down significantly in price. Do you see it as an opportunity to slowly wade in or stay on sidelines.
Do you believe they will survive this crisis? Do they have high debt level?

Thank you

Q: Hello,

I am already knee deep in BMO covered call ETF's and down 20% - 30%.

I can dollar cost down and buy more , take the high yield and wait for price to rise
OR
Sell and move on (to what?)

I believe 5i is wary about buying covered call options during a crash due to limited upside potential.

What could I do at this stage to get income of an equivalent yield and possible upside?

Cheers

Q: If things get real bad and multiple Investment dealers start potentially going bankrupt, does the Canadian Investor Protection Fund have the means to cover the losses? Would an investor be wiser to take cash and deposit into multiple bank accounts?

Q: Hi, I'm a retired, dividend-income investor. I took some profits and losses (to wipe out potential capital gains) over the last 5 weeks and am now planning on reinvesting the cash to top up some of my existing equities, up to my desired asset allocation. I want to leg in, in probably 3 waves over the next couple (?) of months, to top up ZWC, AD, AQN, AW, BNS, BCE, LNF, NWC, RY, TRP, WSP.

Can you please indicate which of the above equities you would allocate into which wave (in other words, does it look like the equity is "ready" for an investment OR should I continue to wait for a while)...or not at all (not worth any further investment).

Thanks for your help...Steve
