Investment Q&A

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

Q: I like TOY but am concerned about the following:
1) How vulnerable is TOY's business to low price "knock-offs" being marketed as TOY brands through on-line channels like Amazon, Alibaba, etc.?
2) Do retailers like Amazon & Walmart have the technology to restrict this type of thing, or would they unknowingly be expediting it (and benefitting from it)?
3) How effective is legal action initiated by a company like TOY in defending its intellectual property?
4) Is this vulnerability a "deal breaker" in deciding NOT to buy TOY?
Thank you for your thoughts.

Q: Hi team,

Could you suggest companies or ETFs which would marry environment concerns and good returns ?

What comes to mind are wcn-t (waste disposal) and trex-n (turning plastics into decking products) but there must be others.

Thank you in advance for your comments and suggestions.

Q: Good morning
On a RSP portfolio that is about 6% of our net assets, what would you think of the strategy of the Dogs of the Dow? Is it worth the trouble or would I be just as well to put in DIA, I could concentrate the low or no dividends in investments accounts.
I saw there is an ETF which purports to follow the dogs of the dow, but its mer is .75%, I would not spend that much in trading commissions in just following the strategy.
Your Thoughts?
Thank you.
