Investment Q&A

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

Q: I own a small amount of FSL for revenue. I think they invest mostly in the US. They merged recently with FSD, unknown to me. The stock didn’t do much in the last few years and is illiquid. There are some other ETF and funds dealing with « senior loans ». Could you explain what they are and if they are worthed for income/diversification purposes. I also own PSB (laddered) and XSB (short-term) on the canadian side. If appropriate, would you suggest something for income in the US to replace FSL, if possible a canadian-listed ETF or fund. Thanks.

Q: I am looking at this mutual fund as a way to play the potential bounce in canadian mid cap oils. I am impressed with Eric Nuttal's knowledge base and this seems like a more diversified way of playing this space. I bought 1000 units on RBC Direct just to see how the fund works and the result was puzzling. The transaction seems to be at the NAV and only happens at the end of the day and although the units show in my account, my "check orders" page shows it still pending until the following day. Before I buy more, can you tell me if I am buying on the market or from NPP ... all of which is OK. A second question is when I want to sell, is there a market or am I at the mercy of NPP deciding what to pay me.
many thanks for the great service.

Q: Hi 5i
I seem to be really lacking in the Industrial sector. Do you have a few good suggestions to look at. I do like dividends.
Thanks

Q: Greetings,

I need to add an industrial and a consumer staple/discretionary to my overall well balanced US portfolio. After reviewing a number of options, my top in each category are GD and HBI. I am looking for some growth and a dividend as I am nearing retirement. I am betting that GD will continue its strong growth and HBI will turn things around. Your thoughts and do you have a better recommendation in each sector?

Thanks

Q: Can you tell me about the financial condition of Denison? Can it continue as a going concern? It its September 2019 report, it stated that it "does not have sufficient liquidity to meet all its obligations over the next 12 months". I note its revenues for the last 12 months was only about $14 M. They have raised a bit of money with some financings. How long do you think the company can last? I wanted to invest in a uranium company, anticipating higher future prices in the next 2-3 years when the cycle (hopefully)turns. I thought Denison was reasonably safe, but maybe not. Would you be a buyer here? Thanks.

Q: Have you ever thought about offering your portfolios as ETFs? With the trend towards index investing and ETFs rather than individual stocks I would think a lot of people would love this! I can't bring myself to buy the TSX60 as it's such an unbalanced and terrible index, but if you offered for example the balanced portfolio as an ETF with a reasonable MER I would buy it in a heartbeat. It would make managing my portfolio a breeze. Cheers, Andy
