Investment Q&A

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

Q: iTrade, In my RRSP/TFSA/Margin accounts, If I transfer US securities on my CAD side to my USD side, are there any charges?, I'm thinking not, since they are just moving it (journaling).
Can you please clarify it for me.

Q: Hi Everyone at 5i!

With all the political complications in France right now, do you foresee any problems with TTE? It is a France based oiled gas company. I feel that the stocks in France may get a bit of a drubbing depending on the election results. I have a nice profit right now. Your thoughts??Hold?? Sell??

Cheers,
Tamara

Q: Good morning team, sorry, I should have been more specific in my last question. I’d like to purchase XLB and HDIV in either my tfsa and/or cash account. The goal is to produce income. Which account(s) are best suited for these ETFs? Too add to that, how do you feel about HDIV with about a 10% weighting?

Q: Hi,
I'm curious about a listing for Intel on the CBOE Canada (formerly NEO) exchange. Can you please tell me if it is the economic equivalent of INTC on the NASDAQ, and can it be bought in a Canadian dollar RRSP account? Are there currency implications an investor should be aware of?
Thank you very much. Michael

Q: Adding on to Julie’s currency questions and your response. I’ve come to understand when contributing US funds into a US TFSA the CRA requires it be recorded in CAD, which I understand means you need to take US funds and buy a US money market, place it in your CAD TSFA and then transfer to your US TSFA and finally sell. I was told not doing so will incur additional currency exchange costs.

Do I have that correct?

Thanks all.

Q: I will be providing some funds for my grandson to invest in the market. My grandson is 13 years old and has indicated that he has a moderate to aggressive investment risk level. He would like to invest funds and hold the investments for approximately 10 years. For a 10 year hold, would you recommend moderate to high risk companies/ETFs over low risk companies/ETFs? My grandson is considering investing in ETFs and/or individual companies. Please provide your top 5 moderate risk ETFs, top 5 high risk ETFs, top 5 moderate risk companies and top 5 high risk companies with a brief comment on each investment. Please provide a general comment on the typical performance of ETFs vs individual companies. Thank you

Q: There is a very new US ETF out which ,I believe has the ticker YMAX. It claims able to achieve a 40% yield ! What’s going on here ? Is this possible ? How safe is this product. I am very sceptical. I might as well sell everything and just hold this ETF (not). Thanks. Derek.

Q: So, Canadian Telcos are hurting……

The three control the Canadian market. Canadians pay some of the highest prices for their services. Their networks are vital infrastructure for businesses, government, and everything else.

I understand that capital investment is large and that interest rates have risen, however….. rates aren’t that high and look to be on the way down. Also, would it not take some time for increased borrowing costs to catch up with these companies?

Income….could it be any higher?

Is the problem excessive expenses? Forays into non-core businesses? Aren’t their problems easily solvable?

I’m having trouble seeing how the current low prices are not an incredible long term buying opportunity.

Comments?

Q: Love to get your updated on NKE's quarter and the dropping stock (now below $90 USD) as a value play. Also, what happens to NKE stock during consumer spending recessions from the past, as all signs seem to be pointing that way for back half of 2024 and into 2025. Do you see further drops?
