Investment Q&A

Q: Hi! I am wondering where you feel opportunities in the market exist. When oil was negative very few advisors were pounding the table to buy. It seems now looking back it was a no brainer and seems so foolish that I wasn't loading up on these bargains. Will we look back and say why didn't we buy high growth tech? Or, is it beaten up renewables/bond funds you favour if adding new money? Where do the opportunities lie based on current geopolitical risks and risk of recession/stagflation?

Q: Do you have any rate reset prefs that you think are worthwhile here? Thanks

Q: thoughts on the quarter please?

Q: What are your thoughts on Carbon Capture ETF from Ninpoint for the long term >5 yrs? Do you think it would serve as a portfolio diversified? Or do you think the market would disappear if the conservatives gain power?

Q: I have a small percentage in each of these companies, I would like to add to some or all can you tell me in order of preference you would suggest I add them.
Thanks, Dorothy

Q: You have this company in your growth portfolio at $94 . What are the chances it will return to that level any time soon?

Q: Is there any indication that MEG will institute a dividend?

Q: I have a question about portfolio allocation for a pre-retirement investor. I have 5 years before retirement, and when retired, I will have to rely on my investments only as I have no public sector or corporate pensions. While my current investments seem sufficient for retirement, I am concerned about inflation and bear markets, so portfolio allocation is very important to me.

My current sector allocation is 10% energy, 10% health, 20% financials, 10% industrials, 15% tech, 5% telecom, 5% utilities, 5% materials, 5% consumer staples, 10% consumer discretionary, 5% real estate.
My geo allocation is 33% Canada, 60% USA, 5% developed, 2% developing. I currently have about 25% in cash that will be moved to short-term bonds when interest rates stabilize.

Do you consider this sector and geo allocation reasonable? What allocation would you recommend for a typical pre-retirement investor with a relatively low tolerance to risk?

Q: what does the market expect next week?

Q: Is there a reason for the near 7% drop on Friday, following a stellar quarterly report as well as increased guidance for the upcoming year? Was the announced change in CEO that poorly received?

Q: More of a comment, post if you feel relevant to others. I received a Tax Residency Form from my Financial Institution; asking me to declare whether I am a resident of the United States or other Countries for tax purposes. Not happy, I contacted my FI and was told this originated via IRS to CRA. I questioned why received when I have never been anything other than Canadian, they said possibly due to US stocks even though these are only held in registered accounts

Q: They raised $5.5 million in march at 1.40.
Why do you think the current .52 sp is so low.
Is this the bottom?
Thank you

Q: Hi 5i

I'm far too naive/optimistic to believe we are headed for seriously tough times ahead - just what will it take for markets to settle down a bit and what indicators do you monitor to give a hint of turning a corner ?

Thanks
