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 1/2 positions in KXS, STC, & OTEX, and a 1/4 position in SYZ.
I have a small gain in KXS and small losses in the other 3.
Would you choose to consolidate or replace with similar any of these holdings at this time and if so what moves would you make.
Thanks, Hugh

Q: Hi team,

The Globe recently published an article on high-interest savings account ETFs. It included this sentence: "A recent report by Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) Capital Markets pegs the after-fee yield from these funds at between 1.8 and 1.9 per cent, which is far better than most other cash alternatives available to the typical investor."

Link: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/personal-finance/article-this-cash-parking-spot-for-investors-has-never-looked-better/

Does this look right to you? I'm seeing more like 0.6% as the yield on these products.

Thanks.

Q: With the general sell off in tech stocks, I'm currently down about 40% on each of these companies. However, I remain long term positive on them and would like your opinion as whether now is the time to add to my positions or whether you feel there may be further pain ahead for the sector and I'd be better off biding my time?

Thanks, Rick

Q: Hi, I’m trying to decide between these 4 operators to invest right now. Would you do a short compare of their size, debt and outlook ?

In 5i Market Data , what is the difference between « Total debt to equity » and « Leverage ratio ». Does Debt/CF show up somewhere? Which other ratio(s) would be the best indicator(s) in this specific sector ? Thanks

Q: Hi, There seems to be a systematic decline in equity values, for past two days, in sectors like Utilities and Telcos, which are considered proxy to bonds, due to their higher yields. They held on better than the market, in general, during past few months. Do you think, the fear of rising rates has finally caught up with these sectors and these stocks might come under pressure, even more, in near term, as Fed and BOC continue with their plans to hike interest rates. What's your advice ? We have about 10% weighting in each of the two sectors. Thank You

Q: HI Gang,

You have commented recently that APPS will require patience and is a HOLD at this point. Could you please give some insight as to why you think its a hold? I am down 60% on it and have a time frame of 2-3 years. Could you comment on what to potentially expect in the next 2-3 years. (always respecting you don't have a crystal ball)
Thanks for all your work and guidance in this tough climate!
