Investment Q&A

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

Q: Just thought you might want to know this. I talked to the CRA today about trading in your TFSA account and they said a few trades a month are fine.

Merry Christmas.

Q: Hello 5i,
I appreciate your thoughts on Fartcoin. It has a market cap of 1.1 billion but seems to be quite volatile.

Merry Christmas.

Q: Canada has accelerated both inflow and outflow of Foreign investments in Canada since Liberals took office. The Liberal government is abandoning ship, Canadian dollar is nosediving, and our deficit continues to spiral out of control!
Canadian stock investors like us here on 5i are taking big risks in buying Canadian stocks only to see our dollar erode, our stocks erode, and our investments erode.
I feel the only way to combat these issues outside of our control is to buy American stocks and investments as the more I invest in Canada the more Trudeau and his Liberals will find ways to screw my hard earned dollars, that are getting smaller by the day!
Your thoughts, thank you!

Q: Thank you for your continued sharing of insight on the underpinnings of our CAD investment economy.

I think you may have missed a part of Keith's question today. The picture certainly looks bleak for the CAD$ - I suppose the news is as bad as it can get?

This said, there should be solid assets/sectors that can thrive in a 50 cent CAD dollar situation.

If so, please elaborate - when this day arrives there will be US investors looking north at our 2 for 1 sale.

Thank you

Q: At 71, I'm getting a little scared of the Market (Wednesday), and I'm 100% in equities mostly Tech. I'll keep the Mag 7 but want to sell the rest and move to safety in these Large Mgt. Firms. Please LMK if you agree with my strategy and can you kindly Rank them? Thanks!

Q: Good morning,

I try to keep my fixed income weighting in the 35-40% range of total investable assets. Of this, I have maintained my HY exposure - via the PH&N HY Fund - in the ~ 10% range of my fixed income exposure. The rest of spread out in ETFs like XBB, XLB, XCB, TLT.

I would like to increase my HY exposure as a % in my fixed income exposure to ~ 20-25%. I know you don't love to comment on weightings, but do you think this is a reasonable move? I love the fund, and have a lot of time for the PM there.

Thanks as always.

Q: I am planning to write covered calls on some of my RRIF holdings in order to generate more cash to meet minimum withdrawal requirements. If this a good strategy? Can you offer me any guidance as to what percentage above the current market price that the strike price should be for a six month call option? If not six months, what option term would you recommend? It seems to me there must have been some studies done to determine the "sweet spot" for covered call option writing, but I would nevertheless welcome your advice.
