Investment Q&A

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

Q: For investment into one of these companies from none to full position would you say that MFC has a reasonable potential for growth and share price appreciation? I am aware that your preference is for SLF ,based on your comments. However the lower share price and higher dividend associated with MFC have me leaning for the MFC. Are the other metrics of the SLF versus MFC make the SLF far superior over the MFC? Some recent portfolio managers featured on BNN market call recommended MFC rather then SLF. Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i,

Thanks for your fast response. Now I understand BB become one of the MEME stocks, so it will expect short-squeeze due to the short-lived. In your opinion, do you think it can drive away market manipulators? Do you think it is healthy? If I were those "big predators", I will never touch BB in the further. In this situation who will win?

Q: Hello 5i,
Would you please set the record straight about wether the Canadian gov. loaned "billions" to our solid Canadian banks during the 2008 financial meltdown.Did the OFSI restrict our banks from raising their dividends and to buy back theirs shares?If the gov.was involved in lending $$$ to the banks it would have been made public and I never heard of such measures.
Many thanks,
Jean

Q: Hi 5i,
Just looking for clarification on your earlier response to marc regarding Globe and mail article are banks overbought,,,, In your answer you said "The banks right now are over-capitalized, and once the government allows dividends to be raised again we think this will happen quickly. "..... it is not clear to me what you mean.....
Thx
jim

Q: I need more fixed income in my RRSP portfolio and my son's RESP. I bought bond funds (VSC, XBB, XRB) but they can (and have) lost money, so I struggle to see how they help me with safety. Am I better off to just buy GICs or stay in cash? Should I hang onto the bond funds I have already?
