Investment Q&A

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

Q: Just an aded information regarding the otc market.
Quotes are no longer available neither level 2. Buying is throwing a dart in a tunnel at night.
Your broker may not allow you to trade, and if it does it will only give you (eventually) the bid/ask spread at the time of the quote.
Then there is the problem of selling, some trades are extremly thin.
If you have a portfolio manager, he may be able to acess OTC. Otherwise good luck.

Q: Arun Menawat is now CEO. This is a very interesting development and it now makes sense why he left Novadaq. With Goodman on the Board and Arun as CEO, PRN's future appears to be in good (management) hands. Where do you see this company and its market cap in the next 1-3 years assuming they get approval to sell in Canada and then the USA. GUD has rights in Canada and I expect them to get more involved soon.

Q: Hello 5i,
I have no REIT's in my portfolio and would like to add one that does not have Western Canada exposure. I have a long-term horizon of 7-10 years and am ok with small-cap risk. But is an 8% dividend yield crazy and unsustainable? Would you recommend one of these two REIT's? THX.

Q: I have no current exposure to oil or gas. Thinking it may be time to acquire some. Is an etf the better way to go or perhaps going with Birchcliff, Seven Generations, Peyto. Which etf if thats your choice and what % of a portfolio should a person consider at this juncture.
I asked a question 3 or 4 days ago, can't tell if the credits have been reduced but I did not get an answer. The question referred to a choice between TXN vs NVDA. I currently own about 18% in technology,CSU,IT,GC,GOOGL but was thinking that perhaps I should sell ULTI in exchange for TXN or NVDA, or whatever recommendation you think is best. Thank You.

Q: I own the 5.5% Aecon 31 Dec 18 convertible debentures. They are trading at about $109, and I bought them in Dec 2014 at about par. Should I take my profit now? If I wait until maturity, I will lose the current premium. I suppose they are trading at a premium because of the embedded warrant value.

Q: I've been to China 5 times in last 24 months and on my recent trip I observed more and more people have smart phones than previous trips. Speaking with one of my Chinese colleagues on this trip, we discussed how most people in China with a smart phone use WeChat as their messaging app. WeChat is not just a messaging app, you can make payments and shop. Travelling thru several cities, most retailers requested payment thru WeChat. I was amazed at the adoption of this app. It is owned by Tencent and trades OTC in the US. Do you know anything about this company and do you have any concerns with buying stock on the OTC?
