Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Team,
I have decided that the best way to invest in biotech is via an ETF. Looking at BBH or BIB. Would greatly appreciate your views. Thank you, nancy

Q: Hi 5i,

Given the recent run in ALX, would you recommend taking profits at current levels or holding on for the long term?

What would you do if you were sitting on a 30% gain in just a few days with respect to upcoming rights offering?

Would you tend to hold for those shares, or sell prior to record date? How would you calculate the drop in value from the rights offering post the record date? I see a drop of at least the percentage of dilution on the non PP stock out there in the market(around 8-9%?).

Thoughts?

Q: Would appreciate your view of AGF. Thank you, Nancy

Q: Hi 5I,
What are your thoughts on having "stop loss" parameters on our holdings. There has been a lot of chatter lately about this. We have a lot of gains on some of our holdings especially the growth part of our portfolio[ thanks to 5I] , and even our large caps , and TD e funds, are doing well. We've never used stop loss before . We're not sure how to do it . We monitor our holdings daily [except when we're away on vacation] and we're thinking of putting the parameter on a 10 or 20 % drop. Some fund managers admit that they have been stopped out and the holding continued to climb.
thanks for your insight

Q: For Paul and Scot on trading prices at CIBC. If you are already paying 6.95 a trade at CIBC, sometimes just a phone call to them and they will give you 'relationship' pricing on your total accounts. So as long as the accounts are linked, they will give you the 6.95 per trade on all your accounts. Worth a call.
Cheers
