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 down 7% on my Crescent Point shares and I am thinking about selling and taking a superficial loss. My replacement security would be Whitecap Resources...Thoughts? Other than the last few months, their share prices seem to be highly correlated...Both move in tandem with the price of oil. Also, I would sell WCP and purchase CPG 31 days from now.

Q: As a retired investor, I hold positions in both company for the income. I am concerned with the U.S. Feds possible rate increase in December and the BOC's statement that they seriously discussed lowering interest rates and their effects on the share price of these stocks as capital preservation is paramount to me.
Your opinion on this would be greatly appreciated as to a hold or sell.
Thank you, Peter and Team

Q: Is the following scenario possible?

Let's say there is a stock traded on an exchange and the shares are worth about $1 per share. At a particular time, Buyer A wants to buy 100 shares and puts in a market order for 100 shares. At the same time, Seller X has 100 shares but he puts in his sell order at a price of $500 per share.

Would this trade take place? Could this happen on the TSX? If so, would you recommend that a dollar limit should be placed on all orders?

Q: Good day 5i!

I am looking for a high quality ETF in regards to renewable energy. I considered XEN but see that there are several oil companies listed and I am already heavy oil/gas.

I am looking at PDB as a global ETF with most of its coverage being the US and 5%CDN. I wanted an ETF with more Canadian coverage but can't seem to locate any.

Any suggestions? Do you think there will be big global growth in renewables over next ten years? Which ETF would you suggest to capture growth in this area?

Thanks again for your valuable service!

Even though they're hedging? First 2 Quarters - average of 1.42-43.. 3rd Quarter looks to be below 1.3. Or will it be delayed?
