Investment Q&A

Q: Hello 5i,
I don't know if you have any expertise in old stock certificates but I thought I would run this by you just to see. I just opened an old box in an inheritence that we recently received and it looks a bit like someone was dreaming of making it rich: a series of old mining stocks. I have done a quick internet search but have found nothing. I don't know if you know if there is any simple way of dealing with this. They have names like: Atlas Chibougamau Mines Limited, Galloway Chibougamau Mines Limeted, beresford Lake Mines Limited, Conro Devopment Corporation Limited ( another Quebec mine), Laval Quebec Mines Limited,Peninsular Petroleum Limited, Alliance Mining and Securities Limited. As I say, this is not your area but maybe you have some ideas. thanks

Q: Which EFT, preferably traded in Canada TSX would fit/ represent the Basic Materials Sector ?

Q: FSZ trades exdividend today. If I purchase stock today do I receive the dividend or does the seller receive the dividend? Thx

Q: Does it matter price-wise if you buy a stock before/after the dividend is paid? Is it the same answer if you buy before/after it goes ex-dividend? I am a long term investor so wondering if there is any significant savings to trying to time the purchase a bit?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi,
When you provide a % allocated to gold, should we add our stocks and bullion together?
For example, I own KL and WM in terms of stocks and also PHYS. I always see the stocks as an type of investment and PHYS as another (commodity/currency) and don't really add them together when looking at the % of the portfolio. is this a mistake?
I know they are closely linked but would appreciate your thoughts on how investors should view these when setting up their portfolios.
Thanks,
Dan
