Investment Q&A

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

Q: I own KL and have made a very good profit on it and hate to sell at this point. However I do have an ETF I'm not happy with and thinking of selling. Would you suggest taking profit to buy one of the other golds and if so which one or using money from my ETF?

Q: To park my cash, I have been using the TD Investment Savings account TDB8150 (CDN) paying 1.6% and TDB8152 (US) paying 1.45%. I just saw your answer about PSA and PSU High Interest Savings ETFs that pay in the range of 2.25%....I assume these returns are net of fees?. On the surface, it seems a no brainer that I should move into PSA and PSU, however, I wanted to check to see if there was any downside (increased risk, lower liquidity, etc) that I should be considering. Thanks

Q: There has been some privatization chatter from Nuttal around o&g companies that have the cash and the value of the company is depressed enough to be able make this happen. I would think it many cases this wouldn't be that great of an event for many shareholders. For example, you own say Crescent Point and are down like 40% and they take it private at a 20% premium. You are now forced to sell and accept your 20% loss where in some cases you may have had confidence in the long term future of the company. Is it ever possible to keep your shares and be a private equity owner of the company?

Q: Two guests on BNN had New Flyer as one of their top picks yesterday, one of the main themes being their intention to convert more buses to electric, therefore becoming more of a green company. How do you feel about this opinion and NFI's strategy. In light of the poor momentum this year and reduced guidance is it time to buy or add to a position now or wait for a few months. Also has there been any insider buying or selling lately and what is the overall insider ownership. Thanks as always for the excellent service!

Q: I've owned Illumina about 18 months, I bought for the long term, safe holding, but since last earnings, it's been a terrible performer. It makes 3% of my total holdings and I'm now back to even on my investment.

I really like ILMN for its price history and growth of revenue, EPS, stock price, equity as well as great management. Honestly, I wanted to increase my position to 5% but with this terrible momentum I'm wondering if I should exit (in whole or in part) and wait for the price to settle.

Your thoughts on ILMN long term outlook please and if I should sit and stay, get i further in or out?
