Investment Q&A

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

Q: MS has been dropping the past few days, likely with the market in general and geopolitical reasons but perhaps also due to news that the SEC and DOJ are investigating the business on block trading. Given this disclosure, would you suggesting moving out of the position (even at this depressed price) into another such as JPM that does not have this similar SEC risk? Or, could this even be an opportunity to build on the MS position?

Q: Dear Peter and Ryan.

I did not sell any stocks yet and my portfolio incurred significant loss lately. I was going to ride through the drop. Now I started to doubt my decision. How do you think about the tension/war between Russian and Ukraine, in addition to rising interest rates? If you don't recommend selling now, do you think it is an opportunity to buy more?

Thank you

Yiwen in panic mode :-)

Q: Hello 5i Team,
In the past month alone NFI has received contracts for almost 600 buses (hybrid/electric) according to the headlines on seeking alpha. Do these contracts actually translate into bus sales?

What is keeping this company down over years? Is it that the dept is to high for the market or that the acquisitions simply have not panned out?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: Hi team

slf has reported decent earnings, but like other insurance co, has pulled back in price
recently, despite impending interest rates increase which will favor both banks and insurance companies , is there any fundamental reasons for the pull back in price?
is it a good chance to add on to the holdings with the aim of some income and slow appreciation of capital (medium to low risks)
thanks
Michael

Q: 2 Questions related to Canadian stocks paying dividends in USD:
(1) I want more US cash and plan to have Questrade journal over the above CA stocks to the US equivalent in a TFSA. Is there any special considerations here when doing this? Best to do this on a day when the Canadian dollar is stronger?
(2) In a margin account, Questrade journaled over AQN:CA to AQN:US on February 3/22. I have held AQN:CA for more than 1 year and sold all of AQN:US today at a small loss. Will CRA see the later loss as a superficial loss, because the US listed stock was held for less than 30 days? Thanks!
