Investment Q&A

Q: I have a 4% exposure to the materials sector, and roughly 23% exposure to technology. I have been considering initiating a position in Newmont Corporation, as I feel the precious metals sector will continue to show strength over the next few years, and my portfolio would likely benefit from the standpoint of improved diversification. I currently have a position of 2% in each of Lumine Group and Shopify. I like both of these companies, but my circumstances require me to part with one position in order to start another.

Would you consider a position in NGT to have better prospects than either LMN or SHOP, or would I be better off staying with what I have, and attempting to raise cash over the next several months to initiate a position in NGT?

Q: Good day.
Can you tell me your current thoughts about MOD. The last question on this company was March 19th. Seems to be in a great thematic sector and it has had a strong run. Do you still feel as positively about it? Still a buy?
Many thanks.

Q: Considering the holdings (with low or no dividends) ,I wonder how this etf can offer 6% dividends,if it is really a 6% dividend,should we deduct +/-15% foreign tax in RRSP account,since most Cies are foreign Cies out of USA..thanks for your always excellent comments

Q: Everyone, Bitcoin, there has been a lots of talk about crypto for many years but I am hesitant until it is supervised by the treasury departments of countries. Until then it is nothing more than a digital currency that could have no value. That being stated politicians will start to approve if it will get them a vote. Rule number one of a politician is get elected and rule two is get re elected. So do I wait or do I purchase an ETF? Do I purchase in quarter pieces over the course of a year? Or what? Clayton
