Investment Q&A

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

Q: Example. If I purchased a $1000.00 worth of shares in stock XYZ, the shares are now worth $100.00 and I'm going to sell them. Am I allowed to contribute $900.00 back into my TFSA to make up for the loss?

Q: Hi there,

I currently own PXT and was looking at YGR. It looks like it has sold off over the last year and may be coming back. Would you endorse a half/full position in this name today? If one owned a full position in PXT already, how would you play YGR (assuming you'd be okay endorsing it as a buy today).

Thanks!

Q: Good morning,
Wondering if you could please comment as to Steve Eisman's thesis on Canadian banks ( shorting specifically CM, RY and LB) and the deleterious effects of a shift to positive loan loss provisions for the stage 1 loan book( those loans that are current), where such a shift would, in his words, "crush" earnings( growth?).

Thank you for your insights,

Q: The coming US elections are approaching (2020)
The democrats are NOT pro big business and some candidates are voicing their opinions about breaking up and placing regulation on big tech. This could be considered to be just noise however I am old enough to remember the industry break ups of the past. Question: Is it time to exercise a little caution here and await the election outcome or go along with the apparent belief that Google, Amazon etc. are the way of the future with unlimited potential growth?

Q: Hi 5i,
I am looking at adding OSB in my dividend portfolio. I see it is trading around P/E=4.2 with a yield of about 17%. Is yield safe and have they cut yield in the past? Is their debt manageable? Is the low price just due to the current low demand for building products? What sector does OSB fit into? Is their any growth in the future?
Thanks for your views on this company.
