Investment Q&A

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

Q: I see freshii is at an all time low today. Do you happen to know what their projected growth is for new stores, cash flow, sales and eps? It seams to me they have a great opportunity to expand. I don't have much knowledge on Ipo's. Is there a period that those that got them aren't allowed to sell? If so when are people allowed to sell their freshii ipo shares? Since the price is below the Ipo price do you see this negatively affecting the price. Probably creating a buying opportunity in the near future?

Q: Hello Peter and Gang,

Would you please enlighten me on how prices are determined for stock trades. For example if I put in an order to buy a stock at a limit price of $1.00 (max that I would buy at). At the same time, someone puts in an order to sell the same stock at a limit price of $0.98 (minimum the seller would accept). Under this scenario, at what price would the trade be consummated? $1.00 or $0.98?

Also, if I put in an order to buy a stock at market price. Meanwhile for the same stock, one seller is asking $5.00, another one is asking $5.20 and yet another one is asking marking price. How would the "trade" price be determined in this case?

Thanks....

Q: Hi, can you rank the following companies as long term hold potential taking into account current valuations. I am looking to start positions in all companies I am just not sure which ones to start with.

Also, I feel like there is so much noise about moving away from oil that buying ENB long term can be a bad portfolio decision. Can you also comment on this. I am 30 and don't plan on selling anything any time soon.

Q: Own both these US stocks as well as Shopify. Would like to consolidate to just two stocks. Which one would you suggest saying bye bye! Not held any of them for long but willing to keep for 1-3 years. Thanks so much for your succinct and knowledgeable recommendations.

Q: Hi 5i
I hope you could clarify an issue for me. When a Canadian company, say Methanex, declares a dividend in ($ USD) but the holdings have been purchased on a Canadian Exchange, would you expect the dividend hitting one's account (which can and does hold multiple currencies) be in CDN or USD $ currency? Does the base currency of the exchange play a part in this and/or is it up to the brokers' discretion to apply a certain policy in these cases?

Thanks

Q: I am considering the following: selling Royal Bank, BCE and CGI which are in my TFSA plan and then repurchase them in my RRSP plan and at the same time, sell my Amazon and Google which are in my RRSP and repurchase them in my TFSA. The basic reason is having the growth stocks in the TFSA. Does this make sense or are there any consequences?

Thanks,

Bob
