Investment Q&A

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

Q: This company has run up quite a bit with a very strong RSI rating >80 so would it be wiser to wait for a pull back or buy a small portion here? Hard to answer as I know timing can't be perfect.

Lots of tailwinds for the 'security' sector and ability to use onsite cameras to do other things (eg manage project status updates, onsite manpower etc) so do you consider this a buy? What risks do you foresee in its business model as I realise small cap sizing and YTD large gains can be potential headwinds.

Thanks as always!

Q: I am 83 years old and thinking of reducing my portfolio of stocks and putting the monies in Dimensional Funds in my RRIF. Returns seem to be excellent and I would like to get your opinion on these funds. I have no pension so I rely solely on the income generated by these Funds
Second question: The other option is trading my stocks for ETF's therefore what 5/6 ETF's would you recommend that would make a nice balanced income producing portfolio

Q: I hold positions in these two funds as part of the fixed income portion of my portfolio. Looking at their current yields (3.1% & 2.27%) I'm starting to wonder why I don't just put that money into CASH.TO, which is currently at 4.52%.

Am I missing something? Are there other, better funds I should be moving them to?

Q: Yesterday I asked you about a group of stocks with respect to trimming our positions to reduce our overall stock exposure.

Now I would appreciate it if you could categorize these stocks with respect to your opinion on the impact of Trump's election. Perhaps the categories could be: positive, negative, neutral, or not sure.

The stocks are:
BAM
BEP.UN
BIP.UN
BCE
EMA
FTS
NA
RY
SLF
TD

Q: Good Day Team,

I am down 50% on LSPD at an average cost of 51CAD/share.

I figure if LSPD is sold today even at $30CAD/share, I would lose about 40% of the original investment which is about 2.25% of the total portfolio.

I can average down with enough funds to break even if the company is sold at $30 CAD. My hesitation is what if the company is NOT sold. I am sure the price will halve from where it is now. I am pretty sure you would hold and would suggest not to throw good money after bad.

Yet, I would like to ask for a high risk investor, would this be too risky a move?

Thanks as always!

Q: Hello 5i, Could you give your opinion as to now that Capital Power is totally off of coal and is now considered a green company, would there be interest of a takeover of Capital Power and if so which companies could be considered to be interested in taking over Capital Power. I think Transalta would be a front runner.

Q: In an effort to minimize currency exchange costs, I am using separate all-in-one etfs for my CAD and USD accounts. The xbal for the CAD and the AOR for the USD account. I would be interested to know your thoughts and whether this merits attention. The xbal and others similar have huge Canadian weight which I would be happy to avoid. On the USD side they seem to have this sorted. My biggest beef there is that it is very US heavy and frustratingly, not visible in the 5i database. Could you please advise on option of xbal and aor, and also please look into integration of the AOR and comparable series?
Thanks
Peter

Q:

I have been using the method of "journal over " to my USD side of my TFSA. I do not need the funds until late next year. My question is, I would like to know if it matters to move BAM over now or wait. Does the CND being lower affect the move? I have a nice profit, does this affect the move? Thanks Gary
