Investment Q&A

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

Q: Cathy Wood's ARKW ETF has a Canadian version being EAFT-NE. The EAFT has a different management company than the ARKW which Cathy Wood looks after. BDO was the accounting firm for the Canadian version of her funds until awhile ago. Now they do not have an accounting firm and they have run out of time to get one and so their funds are not allowed to trade. Would the Securities Commission be looking into this as me and many other owners would not be happy this is happening or once it trades will it mirror the ARKW which is the US version of it and it is trading?
On another note, my wife's broker advised that active short term traders would have to pay 100% tax on their gains.

Q: Hello 5i team,
I have a few guestion about the overall cause of ANRG's massive drop over the past year. Is it simply poor performace/management? The past quarter was bad but was there not growth in the annual numbers.

Or was it something with Litigation? I looked at this in the MD&A but did not quite understand it.

Thanks,
Andrew

Thank you for your help.

Q: To be sure, how is NAV moving up or down for a cash maximizer like HSAV? Why would a premium be given to HSAV? Am I correct in thinking that their performance is closely linked to the 2 year bonds as they have both pretty much the same YTD return. Is one better over the other and if yes, why?

Take as many credits as necessary.

Thank you
Yves

Q: I would appreciate your review of the year end results. The stock seems cheap to me and on their conference call they indicated that revenue and margin would improve this year. You would think that a Quebec based analyst would show some interest. I am mindful that the share price of microcaps can languish for some time until they get noticed.
Thanks.

Do you think this is and opportune time to initate positions? In any case, I would appreciate it if you would share some of your favorite companies in this sector and it would help if you would present them in order of most upside to least going forward. I'm open to metals. other than copper as well.
