Investment Q&A

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

Q: For a non registered account which etfs would your recommend for broad US and for tech exposure and what max weighting would you recommend allocating to these 2 etfs? Would these 2 etfs be the best for US exposure for the TFSA also or would you suggest different ones?
Thanks for your help.

Q: AAPL has had a great run.

This is probably a non-obvious question what any leads on what would be an AAPL-like stock circa pre-iPhone?

Q: hello 5i:
more questions/clarification on the CSU warrants:
first, warrants do not HAVE to be exercised, and CSU would wind up with both Series 1 and Series 2 bonds, correct?
second, how do you see trading in the bonds affected? eg. as Series 2 can't be called before 2040, would this make them more valuable than Series 1? Or, if they can be called at any time, would this make them less valuable.
third, the interest rate for the bonds will still follow the same criteria for both Series 1 and Series 2?
fourth, using $10,000 (a round number that makes calculations easier), a holder would then receive 100 warrants? What about numbers that would involve parts of warrants eg. $111,100
thanks for straightening this out

Q: Public storage and cell tower stocks are down significantly this year. Were they simply over-valued previously? Assuming interest rates will stabilize, do you feel that they may offer above average returns going forward? Your favourites listed on US and Canadian exchanges?

Q: Hi,

Can you please compare these two stocks? Which do you prefer today? I realize you do not follow wix as closely, but it seems like they have very similar business models and product offerings while wix trades at a lower multiple.

Thanks,

Q: Seth Klarman's fund reported a recent trimming of Alphabet and a new purchase of Amazon. Since he is a renowned value investor how would you explain that trade from a value investor's perch? Could it be that a company like Amazon which operates many global businesses and that may be poised to move into several others meaningfully (healthcare, etc) and potentially dominate in those cannot be traditionally valued because it provides future growth opportunities like no other company can and because of that isn't able to be predictably valued? Could it be that someone like Mr Klarman is investing in Amazon for the long term because he sees no company that compares with its potential, not even an Alphabet? Could it actually be reasonably priced as a "one-of-one" company? Would like your opinion on this "analysis" of Amazon. Thank you.

Q: I have a very positive view on renewables, and these stocks are well down today. I have all three of them.
I'm undecided between adding more BEP.UN, which I like best, and NPI, which is more deeply discounted. Morningstar has NPI at five stars.
