Investment Q&A

Q: Would you agree that CSU is currently undervalued by 27% as indicated by the latest Wall Street Journal report?

Thx

Q: Hi,
I'm curious about a listing for Intel on the CBOE Canada (formerly NEO) exchange. Can you please tell me if it is the economic equivalent of INTC on the NASDAQ, and can it be bought in a Canadian dollar RRSP account? Are there currency implications an investor should be aware of?
Thank you very much. Michael

Q: Adding on to Julie’s currency questions and your response. I’ve come to understand when contributing US funds into a US TFSA the CRA requires it be recorded in CAD, which I understand means you need to take US funds and buy a US money market, place it in your CAD TSFA and then transfer to your US TSFA and finally sell. I was told not doing so will incur additional currency exchange costs.

Do I have that correct?

Thanks all.

Q: I will be providing some funds for my grandson to invest in the market. My grandson is 13 years old and has indicated that he has a moderate to aggressive investment risk level. He would like to invest funds and hold the investments for approximately 10 years. For a 10 year hold, would you recommend moderate to high risk companies/ETFs over low risk companies/ETFs? My grandson is considering investing in ETFs and/or individual companies. Please provide your top 5 moderate risk ETFs, top 5 high risk ETFs, top 5 moderate risk companies and top 5 high risk companies with a brief comment on each investment. Please provide a general comment on the typical performance of ETFs vs individual companies. Thank you

Q: There is a very new US ETF out which ,I believe has the ticker YMAX. It claims able to achieve a 40% yield ! What’s going on here ? Is this possible ? How safe is this product. I am very sceptical. I might as well sell everything and just hold this ETF (not). Thanks. Derek.

Q: What are the prospects for BNRE? Buy, sell or hold?

Q: Nvidia (Nasdaq:NVDA) disclosed a hefty position in artificial intelligence (AI) company SoundHound AI (NASDAQ: SOUN).

Your opinion on SOUN. Maybe buy some or not?

Thank you.

Q: Good day team, I’m looking to purchase both XLB and HDIV. Which accounts would be best suited for these ETFs?

Q: So, Canadian Telcos are hurting……

The three control the Canadian market. Canadians pay some of the highest prices for their services. Their networks are vital infrastructure for businesses, government, and everything else.

I understand that capital investment is large and that interest rates have risen, however….. rates aren’t that high and look to be on the way down. Also, would it not take some time for increased borrowing costs to catch up with these companies?

Income….could it be any higher?

Is the problem excessive expenses? Forays into non-core businesses? Aren’t their problems easily solvable?

I’m having trouble seeing how the current low prices are not an incredible long term buying opportunity.

Comments?

Q: Love to get your updated on NKE's quarter and the dropping stock (now below $90 USD) as a value play. Also, what happens to NKE stock during consumer spending recessions from the past, as all signs seem to be pointing that way for back half of 2024 and into 2025. Do you see further drops?

Q: Not happy with general mills right now and Magna. What do you think should I keep them or move on. If I decide to move on is there any decent dividend paying companies in there respective categories.

Thanks

Q: If you had new money to invest, would you put it into an equal weighted S&P 500 ETF or a cap weighted one? Can you recommend an equal weighted S&P 500 ETF that trades in CAD?

Q: I have some weak spots in my income portfolio; Magna, Telus, the REITS (CAR and GRT) and IBM.

Any suggestions on what to replace them with, or just stay the course?

Q: Where would I look to find yearly historical AUM numbers for ETFs and Mutual funds traded in Canada? Thanks

Q: Hello,
I have follow up questions on your June 19 response to Scott. I am not a shareholder and not planning on becoming one - Just curious about the next steps following the defaults.

You mentioned the convertible holders may issue stock causing massive dilution. It is essentially a takeover to take control of the asset disposition process and negotiation with the 1st mortgagees.

Are debentures always convertibles?

I presume the 1st mortgagee for each property owned will also send their notice of default and ask for repayment / start the foreclosure process. Is that correct and do the convertible owners have any remedy to try protecting the remaining equity?
Just looking for your general comments to understand next steps. Thank you for your great service.
