Investment Q&A

Q: Bonds are usually a safety haven when markets are in turmoil
In this present market environment bonds have lost value instead of being a stabilizer
What is the reason for this and is there likely to be a turnaround for bonds and if so when could that happen ?
Thanks

Q: I own GOOG shares in a US account at 982 US, or converted to Cdn $ at 1,299.97. I also own the GOOG mini shares at 23.35 Cdn$.
Am I correct that I have to add these shares to calculate my ACB, 1299.97+23.35=1,323.32/2=661.66?
Or are the shares considered separate with each having their own ACB?
Thank you. cheers

Q: Hi 5i Team, and would appreciate your analysis of the just posted results from SentinelOne. Also, do you see any endearing qualities or strengths to the business as a long term opportunity in the cybersecurity sector, and how would you rank it as a buy with respect to the larger well-known names in the sector. Thanks from an appreciative member.

Q: Can you comment on the outlook for this stock in light of their announcement yesterday. Is it a good time to Add, or should I just Hold the shares I currently have. Thanks

Q: Hi Team,
Today seen some big % moves by many growth/ tech names; which seemed to come out of no where. Overall, what is your sense on where we are in this pullback? Is it time to start buying some beat down tech names? This being said, if you feel a person should be doing some buying at this time; what are your most convincing buys from todays levels? Some of the stocks I was looking at are SHOP (currently not owned), or add to either of this list which I currently own all: ATZ, TOI, U, RBLX, SQ. Currently I feel like we are watching a major buying opportunity unfold before our eyes...similar to oil stocks a couple years ago and feel I might regret not adding some new funds at this point to some high quality tech names that have been sold off some 50-75% in many names. Also, generally speaking; if a person is looking at holdings that are down say 60% (which I am with RBLX,U, APPS)...should we be doubling down? It seems if not it's almost hopeless to break even from these excessively sold off levels. Deduct as many credits as necessary. Thanks
Shane.

Q: I own SHOPIFY in both my TFSA and in a taxable account at much higher prices. I also have cash in my TFSA with which I would like to buy more SHOP at todays price. I would like to then sell the shares in my taxable account immediately to lock in the tax loss after purchasing extra shares in my TFSA. Is this allowed or does the 30 day rule still apply ?
Thanks for your professional guidance.

There hasn't been a question in a while on TTCF. It's latest Q report May 9) showed pretty good growth, reiterated forecast, new product to be released soon (non-frozen foray) they are low on debt, price has been crushed from IPO, they're small so risky but, .... at this low point they look to be worth a punt - what are your thoughts on it?

Q: Are the interest rate hikes to date, plus the expected hikes for the balance of this year based on BOC's aggressive stance yesterday, likely priced in to this stock now, or is there still a lot of downside risk?

Thanks.

Q: Hi Team,

Have the fundamentals of these guys really changed that much?

It seems to me the biggest change is the fear or delinquencies?

Do you see decent chance of pretty good gains 3 years from now or is bankruptcy a real possibility? I have read speculation that banks may cut them off if they see a rise in charge-offs

Q: Hi

TD Bank sells GICs for several other banks. Suppose I purchase two GICs through TD Waterhouse, both for 100K: one held by Homequity Bank and one held by BNS. Is the CDIC insurance limited to 100K since I bought through TD, or would both GICs be covered?

Thanks
