Investment Q&A

Q: I’m looking at Hydrogen & Clean Energy ETF’s. Can you rank these 3 BLDP, FCEL, & BE ? Also looking at ICLN ETF. What are your thoughts on all 3 as well as the ETF. Thanks.

Q: If you had to pick 5 ETFs to fill an RRSP, for an investor with a 20+ year timeframe, which would you choose? To add a little context, mid 30's with a TFSA geared towards growth and I am comfortable with risk in that account. I also have a business account where I hold blue chip dividend paying stocks. Comfortable with risk in the RRSP as well but trying to find the sweet spot in between these two accounts.

Q: I would like your analysis and opinion on both companies and what your thoughts are on them as a more speculative buy. How are they situated financially and is their product something that could be in demand? I believe NEO does have a dividend.
Thank you John

Q: I currently own only VA for international exposure and will be buying XEF. Would it better to sell VA and buy VEE or buy VEE as well and hold all 3 ETFs ?
Thanks

Q: I realize DND is an acquisition/roll-up strategy but is there just too much dilution with all these stock offerings? Wondering if this is a good entry point or with the stock off $5 or so from the recent offering is the market signalling indigestion? Thanks

Q: These companies are treading on new technologies on batteries. What is your opinion of their investment prospects.

Thanks

Thomas

Thank you as always.

Q: I just heard about this company yesterday because a friend works for them. I looked it up, and see that it’s very small, and has gone from .23 to $1.91 in a few months. Is there validity here, or just hype? Thanks!

Q: BEPC has been steadily declining in recent weeks. At what point will the shares represent good value to purchase , in my case, additional shares? And at what price would the shares represent excellent value for purchase. Please provide rationale for your position. If you have any thoughts about how much further the shares might fall, that would be helpful.Thanks.

Q: Hi there,

In your opinion, what would be the best 100% equities, growth oriented ETF that could be used to dollar cost average into? I'm open to volatility for potential upside. Please provide a few if possible.

Q: Hi group ITP now 20 % off the highs generated by their last quarterly report. Any idea what is going on with this stock is it a buy sell or hold
Second question if you were to buy 3 stocks in the US and 3 Canada with moderate risk/reward what would your picks be and why ?Thanks for all your help its much appreciated

Q: Recently I read John De Goey's Sept 2020 MoneySaver 'Portfolio Insurance' article. His custom-built inverse notes moderate risk by moving in the opposite direction of the market. He advises his clients to use them for up to 40% of their portfolio. Are there preferred Can and US ETFs that do the same thing, and what would your thoughts be about their use?

I have tried to moderate risk by building RRSP, TFSA and to a lesser extent, the unregistered accounts around all-in-one ETFs (VGRO, VBAL and VNCS) using specific growth or income stocks and bonds to augment the ETFs according to the type of account. The US side follow the same pattern but with themed ETFs (ARKK, ARKF, IHI, VIG, VDC, IWO, VHT, SPY). According to Port Analytics, I am sitting at approx 70% stock, 20% income, 8% cash and 2% diversified.

My thanks.

Q: SILC got a very positive review in Barrons last weekend. What is your opinion of its 2-3 year growth prospects?

Q: hi 5i,

Barrick Gold (ABX) has a big drop today. I saw the news Warren Buffett sold all in Q3. Do you think we should keep it or sold it? So far I have loss 15%. Please kindly advise for this stock.

Q: Hello, I wonder what you think Of these 2 EV companies.
Would you buy these stocks for a long term investment?
Thank you.

Q: We are in the process of transferring some under performing RRSP mutual funds to our self directed RRSP investment account. Our TSFA's have been maxed out with mostly growth oriented stocks. Presently, we have a smaller self directed RRSP with limited number of positions. With the transfer we will have a sizeable amount of money to reinvest in our RRSP accounts. Would it be advisable to mirror one of your model portfolios, or consider all the above positions and add accordingly?

Are there any of the listed companies you would suggest increasing positions on and any in which should not be added to at the present time?
Portfolio analytics
Shows we need to increase our exposure to International and US.
As well, do you have any ideas to increase exposure to: (Stocks or ETF's)
