Investment Q&A

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

Q: I recently sold Nvidia in my tfsa. I sold a call option on it and it was pretty close to the strike price, I let it get called away, since I am overweight Nvidia. Now that it is down I am tempted to buy it again. I can’t let myself forget the overweight aspect, though. Do you have another suggestion that I could replace it with? I want something nearly as good that I can sell options on, thus no or a small dividend. Sector doesn’t matter. I am also full weight on Shopify and Google. I am also open to smaller stocks that could show growth and are relatively safe—celestica and Nebius?
Thanks

Q: Crystal ball question: What do you see as the likely direction for the market in September based on the different factors currently at play? Are there potential positives upcoming or is it more likely that things drift gradually lower based on tariff news and economic uncertainty? Any reasons for optimism or are things too stretched and due for a pause?

Q: Hi Peter,
One of the key goal of the current US monetary policies is trying to lower the value of US$. For the past decade, Canadian investors do not have to think of hedging. However, for the next decade, there is a good chance that exchange rate is going to move in the opposite direction. Over half of my portfolio is in the direct holding of US stocks, so it is unhedged. I do not want to sell my US holdings and buy CDRs, due to the tax consequence as well as not all US stocks have CDR equivalent. So for individual Canadian investor, how are we going to hedge the currency risk? Please explain the different approaches that we can employ to protect and hedge our portfolio. Thanks.

Q: Trump tariffs... impact on e commerce with non US countries. I see US analysts starting to reduce profit targets. I do hold the stock and I see 5i staff also hold the stock. What is your recommended course of action at this point... should I reduce my exposure? What would you do if you owned the stock? I do own GOOG and MSFT considering reducing my AMZN position and allocating it to MFST. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: UMAX = covered call, UTES= covered call + 1,25% leverage. In a downtrend, UTES would probably go down around 25% more than umax (ex -10% vs -12,5%...) and ZUT.Since the markets are presently high +the economics, do you believe that there could be a significant probability of a downtrend in 2025 and in such case ,would it be safer to sell UTES for ZUT now (or another stock), in order to reduce the risk ?

Q: I have earmarked about 2% of my portfolio to invest in a new position, and I am primarily seeking growth for this particular investment. I am looking at NBIS, PNG and ZDC as candidates. My portfolio is fairly diversified, so for the purpose of this query, sector exposure need not be a metric upon which these companies should be compared. I have read the recent posts in the question forum on each company, and comments on each one have been favourable. Could you provide a ranking of these companies, and if one needed to be chosen, which one would it be? As always, I appreciate the insight you provide: thanks so much, and I look forward to your response.
