Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am purchasing a house in the U.S. and will be converting a substantial amount of CDN $. Am looking at using DLR.TO etf to facilitate Norbert’ s Gambit using Scotia ITrade..I will also be talking to Scotiabank to see what they would cost.
What source do I use to determine actual exchange rate instead of relying on BNS info? Is Knightsbridge an alternative? Are there better avenues to use for NG than DLR ?What are the risks using NG?
I find all this rather intimidating and appreciate your advice, and also other people’s advice. How would I access previous question on this matter? Thanks , Derek

Q: Hi 5i team!

What is your opinion of HLS these days?
I last asked about them in Feb 2019. At the time you were concerned about their debt level. Has it improved (marginally or otherwise) since then or do you foresee any further improvement in 2020 and beyond based on their recent financials?
They had a good 2019 wrt stock price appreciation.
They have recently received approval from Health Canada re Vascepa but significant sales from that drug may not occur for a year or 2 (or more).
Can this be added to an already diversified portfolio of mid caps? I recently took a 1/4 position in mid Dec at $19.34. I would like to add a further 1/4 position each quarter going forward. This will allow me to monitor their overall progress wrt their additional drug portfolio.
They stated that peak sales of Vascepa may not occur until 2-4 years thus the patient accumulation.

Cheers,
Steve

Q: My question is about Manhattan Bridge Capital Inc ( LOAN on NASDAQ).
The company pays a regular7.6% quarterly dividend and the stock trades in a range of $6.00 to $6.60. The company seems to have quite stable income but is highly leveraged. Nevertheless if the pundits are correct and we have low interest rates for 2020, would it make sense to borrow money at 5% to buy this stock? What could possibly go wrong?
Cheers
Ian
