Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am concerned about the height of the stock markets and am in the process of reducing my equity holdings. If there is a correction or bear market next year, then I would want to be able to invest again at some point.

With the cash that becomes available from the sale of equities, what would you recommend as an investment? I am looking for something that is extremely safe, can be sold at any time (which eliminates a GIC for consideration) and gives me a bit of yield/gain. Are there any ETFs which fit this bill?

Thank you for this wonderful service.

Q: The US versions of these ETFs have high yields. I am selling some of my more volatile RRSP holdings and want to move the funds into ETFs that add stability and a return of 8-10% with dividend/growth. Are these ETF's considered relatively stable. and is there a point that they should be considered less stable, for example, if interest rates rise. The Cdn equiv show no dividend. Is there a reason for this?

Q: I’ve always had less than positive results investing in the healthcare sector. Finally I decided to go with an ETF (XHC) to do away with the individual stock picking risk which has since declined as well. I am now thinking of sticking with “healthcare adjacent” companies since SIS (currently owned) has done well for me. Can you please comment on SIA, CSH, and AND, the first two have run up a bit recently and I wonder about their valuations and future prospects. Any other candidates that might fit the bill you could recommend, I know choices in Canada are slim?

Q: My portfolio is now heavily weighted to the US.

Can you recommend an ETF or 2 that would compliment my existing investments?

Thanks

Q: Hi
I only saw two 5-6 minute videos of Peter's BNN Market Call interview. Is there more available, such as the Q+A? It was an inviting discussion and I'm interested to follow the rest of it. Many thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,
Could you elaborate further on Davids question concerning the $300 M private notes issuing and how it affects the share price. I do not really understand how the notes work and would appreciate it if you could provide a short laymans explanation. Not sure if I am asking this question correctly but Does it set a specific share price that these note holders can acquire shares at... ?

thx

Q: Hello, today (Nov 20, 2024), SLS is moving up strongly on news that the final steps to complete emigration by year-end is on track, It appears they are shutting down their Canadian office and moving to Switzerland. Is this the reason for the large move? It does not seem to be related to copper as CS and TECK are essentially unchanged. Why would this type of move cause such a move? Perhaps there is another reason. Thanks.

Q: I am nearing retirement and planning to rebalance my taxable portfolio towards Canadian dividend stocks and ETFs, so that I can live off CPP and eligible dividends in retirement. What are your favorite Canadian ETFs where all distributions are treated as eligible dividends? You recommended CDZ many times, is it still your favorite?
