Investment Q&A

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

Q: I hold SU PSK and WCP. I don't want to hold oil and gas in the long term, so want to eventually sell these three stocks. Do you feel this sector will likely perform well through a recession and would you tend to continue to hold them through the next year? Could you suggest a target price for each. Could you suggest what I might replace these with in the alternative energy sector - with dividend. Thank you!

Q: Do you think the remarkable energy share price surge will continue, if at a lesser pace than the past year? Rumours of $150-$180 oil are popping up. Would you care to offer a prediction for oil prices 12 months from now?

Q: Seeking clarity on corporate class etfs. Does this structure exist using US dollars and does it exist in the US? Is there any other provider other than Horizons? Does the structure result in dividends being reinvested in the etf thus becoming taxable as a capital gain when the etf is sold and therefore not taxable as dividend income while the etf is held? So does this structure assist an investor who wishes to reduce income for tax purposes during the period the etf is held? THANKS

Q: Good Morning,

I am considering buying HHL for income in my cash account.

There are three investment options: HHL.U is denominated in U.S. dollars; HHL is hedged back into Canadian dollars and priced in loonies; HHL.B is also priced in Canadian dollars but is unhedged.

What are you overall thoughts on this ETF and which one would be best for me to buy in my cash account?

Thanks very much.

Q: I'm hearing more and more about a looming global food crisis, largely due to the unfortunate situation in Ukraine and its impact on grain shipments. Apart from fertilizer companies, what other options do you feel would be good expressions for a global food shortage investment thesis?

Q: I am down about 41% with both ENGH and WELL, but 2x the dollar amount for ENGH. I am considering selling 1 or both now for a tax loss and likely buying back. Any idea what to expect with ENGH's upcoming earnings report next week? ENGH seems to be currently sitting at pre-pandemic levels and I am guessing it might be there for a while unless there is some dramatic change in the economy. Thanks for your your comments!

Q: Hi 5i
Aside from a better market backdrop, what will it take for SHOP to regain investor confidence? Is it similar to AMZN a few years ago, where AMZN ploughed all its cash flow into expanding its business, but at some point paused somewhat and showed some big profits?
Thanks
