Investment Q&A

Q: Hi,

If one would want to start with 1/3 position in a small cap value etf or mutual fund in tsfa, which ones would you be inclined to buy?

I did a fast scan and IJS looks pretty good, your thoughts?
Are you aware of any mutual fund that's worth a look? And lastly, are there any cons in holding US etf's in a tsfa?

Thank you
Rino

Also,

Q: Hello, in your disclaimers at the end of your responses it states whether any staff have a financial interest in the security in question. Could this mean a short position as well? Also could it mean the security is a merely held in an etf?

Thank you

Q: According to gsy news release gsy owns 1123570 shares of afrm. At 141 per afrm share that’s 158 million USD
Questions
1- how is that accounted for in the financial statement
2- I assume the forfeiture part means if paybright does not hit targets then gsy forfeits the 468k shares
3- is the market even reflecting this in gsy share price





ii) 655,416 common shares of Affirm, and iii) 468,154 common shares of Affirm held in escrow and subject to forfeiture if certain PayBright revenue milestones are not met

Q: I've had success buying good out-of-favor companies, especially in tax-loss season. In 2020, I loaded up on rate resent preferreds at very low prices (so the effective interest payments were good even if interest rates stayed low). This gave me optionality in case rates ever climbed. I also bought TOU and CVE when oil prices were extremely low.
This is for 5% of my portfolio, and is patient money. Suggestions?

Q: Recently it was recommended to me to sell KSU and buy FDX. What do you think?

Q: hello 5i:
no questions about this company. Strange, as it looks like a solid Industrial holding. Can you discuss and offer your opinion. Already hold LMT, TFII, NTR, and AC in the Industrial space, so would you add to an existing position, or would CR be a good addition to this mix.
thanks

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor, who usually follows a fully invested, buy-and-hold strategy for the long term but trims-adds around core positions to achieve the targeted asset allocation. I currently have <4% cash in the combined family portfolio.

Question #1 = for new monies into my wife's account as they become available, please rank the order in which you would invest into BCE, LNF, NWC....and why? I'm looking at where is the most Total Return upside over the foreseeable future. Ignore asset allocation, I've got that covered.

2 questions...please deduct 2 credits.

Thanks for your help, much appreciated.....Steve

Q: Does the companies business model change in a rising interest-rate environment?
I am down 15% in a 5% position thinking that the acquisition of Lendcare would help offset loan defaults plus the terms of their revolving credit were expanded and improved. Does this remain a good 3-5 year hold
Thank you. I appreciate your comments.

Q: Looking to add a position to my materials sector. Currently own NTR, MX, LIF. This would be held in my dividend focused non-registered portfolio and would be a long term investment. looking for a company with good dividend and financial strength to withstand volatility in the sector. A company with base metals exposure would compliment my existing holdings.

Q: Hello team,

I am up 40% on CAE, which I don't think is going any farther until planes are back in the sky in a meaningful way. Would you agree?

If you more or less agree, I am thinking of selling CAE and put the proceeds to one or two of the followings ordered base on my losses in each. The original investment is almost the same amount in each stock with the exception of BLFY which was 1/2 of others:

U (+7%)
Appl (-1%)
ABNB (-5%)
PLTR (-6%)
CRNC (-23%)
BLFY (-40%)
PINS (-28%)

Would you average down or would you sit tight? I know you don't like averaging down in general, but I thought I would ask as sometimes there are better growth opportunities and it does make sense to build up a larger position.

Thanks for the help!
