Investment Q&A

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

Q: To whom it may concern ,
I have some GIC’s maturing but interest rates are so low that it is hardly worth rolling them over. I am looking for some alternatives with high security and better Yield. I am thinking perhaps some bank stocks or Vanguard products and would appreciate your opinion or any other advice you may have.
Thank you for your valuable advice..

Q: Peter; Have you heard of this company- it’s being heavily promoted - my sister in Cranbrook was approached because our PM apparently was on the Colbert show touting it ! It has a odour about it. Thanks. Rod

Q: I have both in my RRIF. BIR has moved very well last 2 weeks and I am making small amount of money. Still down with TOU . Should I keep both for time being, have held them for quite a while. I could put the money in another stock, or top up TOU for dividend.With topaz starting maybe TOU would increase DIV sometime in future. Tks for helping in past

Q: Was in a quandary over ET after purchasing as an income stock several years ago. Currently underwater by 30% and was wondering about buying more as my position is small. I know 5i seldom recommends averaging down but in this case would averaging down be an opportunity? Normally I would sell after a dividend cut but these times are not normal. Company has no debt ( I think ) and room to increase dividend. Is management just being ultra-conservative about increasing dividend? Would this be a tax loss seller or a buying opportunity?

Q: Hi, I was going to add to my consumer cyclicals by adding LNF based on your previous comments to others. However, I see this has a low volume of shares trading each day. This raises a red flag since if something should go wrong (e.g. bad quarter), the stock can drop considerably more as people scramble to get out. Do you see this as a valid concern? My other holdings in this sector are MG and CTC.A, both at full weightings. Can you suggest any others?

Q: To follow up on my panic questions this weekend on docu, I have too much of it in my account and it’s causing me stress. How likely do you think the stock is to return to a high? My cost price is about $242. As long as I’m reasonable confident that it will go back up, I can handle holding it. I just don’t know if this is like a dot com type of spike wherein the stock never recovers from an old high. Thanks.

Q: I have taken an initial position in Vitalhub and would like your take on the recent contracts signed over the past couple of days. I’m considering adding as stocks in this space are getting strong support. Thanks to your advice, I got in early on WELL and am wondering if we might not be seeing the same scenario play out in this one.
