Investment Q&A

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

Q: Trying to get a bit more geographic diversification in a TFSA account that is, at present, all Canadian equities. Would you suggest something like HXS for US diversification with the swap arrangement to limit tax implications? Or would something like VGRO make more sense with greater geographic diversification and a little fixed income?

Thanks for the great service,

Doug

Q: FNV, KL and AEM appear to be your current favorites in the gold sector based on recent responses. (Feel free to correct this.)
I have AEM and am trying to decide whether to add a bit more or sell it and get something else. The risk-reward calculus of FNV as a royalty co looks pretty attractive. Would you switch? Which of the three is your favourite overall?
Thanks!

Q: Back in the glory days of PHM, CXR, VRX etc I feel like everyone was looking for "doubles". Expectations seem more modest (pot stocks excepted) these days but I am wondering if 5i could highlight 3 stocks in Canada and 3 in the US that have the fundamentals to suggest a possible double in 2019/2020? If you have time, a few words on the expected catalyst for each as to why the runway is long? Deduct credits as required to provide a full reply please.

Q: Hi 5i,
looking for health care related stocks (other than Drug companies) that pay a dividend and are good for a 10 yr hold. Please rank them in order of reference.
Thanks,

Q: In response to Dave and his question regarding The Stars Group you used a phrase that you have sometimes used before; i.e. "The relentless selling may indicate something more". Perhaps you could elaborate. On the face of it you seem to suggest some investors have information not generally available to the rest of us and I'm not sure that's what you meant.
Thanks
Mike

Q: I have held pho for about a year and thinking of selling pho and buying nvda as they are down the same thus increasing the quality of my semi conductor exposure. Also I have made a lot of money from csu and kxs and have sold them and bought a small exposure to msft for the same reason. Does this make sense to you....thanks for the great service

Q: I have been going through the Dividend Q&A to compile a list but I think I'll just ask the question.....What are some of your preferred Canadian companies that currently have a dividend yield of 4%+ and also have some growth potential? I will leave it to your discretion whether its Top 10 list or other. thanks again... John C.
