Investment Q&A

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

Q: I don't usually like market timing and don't really believe in this "sell in may..." stuff, but this year is a little different. What are your thoughts if the Trump administration is unable to come up with a concrete tax reform plan by may/june? Would they have time given congress goes into break shortly after? I would expect there would be volatility ahead, but have you experienced similar events like this in the past where there's been bets on policy changes that don't materialize?

Q: Been holding GSY, have had a super run, thanks for the advice. I am however gettign concerned about an end to canadas debt binge

What are the risks to GSY from
1. Deflation of the housing bubble
2. BOC signalling and (potentially) raising rates

Would it cause more or less customers to need the type of financing GSY offers? will GSY yield spreads on financing increase/decrease?

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Im looking to replace PD in my TFSA. I thought I was smarter than the market when I purchased it at an average price above $10. I did little homework on the name and now I'm paying the price. I typically have a tremendous amount of patience with investments. What would you do if you owned this stock? I know there are better opportunities out there, but I feel like if oil moves to the upside this name has a lot of potential.

Thanks,
FP

Q: April 11/17 ? asked by Terry re large block
trading:
'Dark pools' are private networks which do not have to report trades to the consolidated volume till after completion. In the US, Goldman Sachs, Barclays, Citibank and others have them and apparently account for as much as 40% of the volume. What is the situation re 'dark pools' in Canada? Also, what is the situation with TSE trades reported as 'anonymous' broker?
