Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good afternoon 5i,

In the summer month usually Consumer staples do fairly well. What are your thoughts on XST an Ishare ETF?

Thank you.

Q: I have $11,000 currently sitting in cash of a RDSP account. I would like some advice on how to invest it. Of course I want to make money, so stability and return are important. It is for the long-term.
A related question: In the worst case scenario, if the beneficary loses the CRAs disability tax credit and the plan has to be be collapsed, what happens? (The medical credit is up for renewal this year).
Please use your judgment as to whether to publish this question or not.
Thanks

PS. I LOVE your service!!!

Q: All the talking heads on BNN say sell your utility,telcos,banks and Reits-and buy what? If you are retired like me and don't mind volatility-they never < dividends during the worst financial crisis ever & telcos are planning to > dividends -eg. T why would you do that if you want mostly TSX exposure (pref. tax treat). I have some USD exposure in companies like J&J, MSFT (up nicely), MO, GE, KFT etc-held for over 4 yr.

Q: Hi Peter,
Any thoughts on BlackPearl's (PXX) decsion to defer their $350 million term loan for the Onion Lake thermal project due to the volatile debt markets? I see they had a positive announcement though on the Blackrod pilot production and cashflow. New 52 week low , looks like a good entry point perhaps? Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i Team,
On a question re: CLC you stated:
"CML is still paying one dividend. However it went ex-dividend yesterday, but anyone buying yesterday will get a $0.135 dividend."

My understanding of Ex-Dividend is different and found this online:

The ex-dividend date is the date on which investors are cut off from receiving a dividend. If, for example, an investor purchases a stock on the ex-dividend date, that investor will not receive the dividend. This date is two business days before the holder-of-record date.

Perhaps you can clarify?
Thanks,
Ron
