Investment Q&A

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

Q: My wife is currently doing a little experiment ($2000) with this fund because we can't believe what we see.

This month the fund is paying out 1.447 per share and has paid out more than a dollar every month this year, though less in previous years. Given the share price of $20-22, that puts the dividend at around 7.5% per month which would be a pretty good yearly payout.

I'm of the mind that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Can you walk me through this one?

I am of the mindset

Q: I was away on holidays for the last few weeks and have watched the whole CRWD disaster unfold but did not do anything with my shares. CRWD has a whole section on their site about the issue but of course nothing on how they will compensate their customers. Am worried that each new lawsuit may knock the stock price down more and it may not recover for years. But on the other hand, maybe the big sell off is over. I am still up nicely BUT at this point, with the share price down around 40%, would you consider selling all or some, or hold? Thank you.

Q: I have US cash to manage to fund our snowbird expenses. I need lower risk, liquidity, with a decent return and HISU.U seems to meet this criteria. Do you think there is a benefit to diversify the cash portfolio into equal amounts of other similar ETF's like PSU.U, ZUP.U, ZMI.U or ZWB.U? Can you recommend a US ETF with moderate risk and opportunity for growth that I could allocate 20% of this cash portfolio for a 5 to 10 year hold? Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i Team

For the reader asking for US$ denominated money market funds at RBC Direct Investing - suggestions are:

RBF2014 a US$ investment savings account with Royal Bank of Canada ($100k CDIC insurance) - trades as a mutual fund but no commission. Interest rate is competitive (4.90 %)

Any of the TSX listed US cash etf listed - RBCD charges $9.95 per buy or sell - as long as buying/selling greater than $1,000 the percentage charged is cheaper than the mutual fund charge (1 % to max $50).

Thanks

Q: Morning,
I recently acquired some information about a new project development in Alberta. A European private equity company has purchased 5 out of 6 quarters of land along the corridor from Edmonton to Calgary(I know this part for a fact). They are going to invest 1 Billion on each quarter of land for Data Centers. Apparently Alberta has a great amount of Dark Fiber Optics available which is perfect for this.
Do you see any investment opportunities here? I assume these Data Centers will need a huge amount of power, so would power producers be an area of opportunity? Such as CPX . Let me know what you think and any ideas.

Q: Hello 5i Team,

Long-time holder of CBZ, which has been a consistent performer.

The share price has dropped significantly today after an earnings miss and a coincident announcement to acquire Marcum. Not sure which event is contributing more to the share price reduction... or if it's both.

Could you please comment on the current situation and future prospects for CBZ. Is this an opportunity to add to my position? Or do you expect the share price to languish for a while? If so, how long?

Thanks in advance for your always helpful advice!
