Investment Q&A

Q: If I wanted to park cash, for 6 months or longer, is there any choice between MFC and Telus ? Something else?

Q: Hi 5i,

I currently have an RESP for my two daughters. Questrade is charging us $50 every time we pull money out to pay for tuition, etc. That makes it four times a year.

We have used up the EAP portion so I'm thinking of pulling all the money out at once and transferring it to one of my daughter's TFSA account (there is room). the cost of totally divesting it is $100 but then we'll be mercifully done with the fees.

After that, I believe we can split it between the two daughters and take it out without any fees involved.

Do you see any problems with this strategy or can you suggest any better way of handling it?

Feel free to make it a public question or not depending on whether it would be of interest to other clients.

Q: In my grandchildren RESP I have 25% in IWO, 25% in VIG 25% and 25% in VGRO. I would like to buy 2 stocks with the remaining cash(25%) which 2 stocks would you recommend. Money not needed for 14 years.

Thanks

Q: To what degree do you think insider buying is a predictor of a stocks future increase in value and why?
Thanks

Q: Morning,
Your opinion. Will the European stock markets play catchup to the North American markets in 2022?

Q: Do you feel that CSE and NEO pose any kind of threat to TMX dominance both near term and more importantly long term? Increasingly I’m noticing more and more companies exclusively listed on either CSE or NEO especially ETFs. I ask because TMX seems to be range bound for quite some time now and was wondering if the growing presence of these new exchanges perhaps have investors concerned especially after the recent takeover of NEO by a larger American company with significant financial resources.

Q: Hi 5i,
It’s been a while since a question on VIAC. Over the past week or so, I have seen several analysts turn positive on VIAC for 2022. It is viewed as cheap on a PE and PS basis. Analysts say it has a lot of content which is really undervalued by the market and that its streaming service has good potential. It does have a lot of debt.
That’s those guys. What are your current views?

Thanks again.

Q: Recently, Jim Balsillie has purchased a substantial number of shares and analysts seem to think this stock has some upside. I know you are not big on analyst price forecasts, but certainly seems to have a positive outlook from them. Can I have your take?

Q: Happy New Year - The Globe just featured MDA on an insider buy and many analysts estimating a very large increase in revenues per share over the next year. What do you think about MDA? Good entry price at present or unlikely to hit the revenue forecasts? Many thanks. Al

Q: With the market rotation and possible interest rates impacting growth stock valuations.

Is ARKK becoming hit too hard to ignore?

What would be your top ETF plays for today and the next 2-3 years? I've been riding semi's.

This is an added boost for my portfolio which is otherwise balanced.


Thank you very much!!!

Q: For UPST, what are the consensus earnings expectations for each of the 4 quarters for 2022?

Also, what are the "interesting new initiatives" you referred to on jan 3 of this year?

Q: Are you aware of an EM dividend focused ETF that excludes or has a small exposure to China?
Thanks for your help.

Q: Good Morning,

I have a question about data entry of 'cost basis'. Do I input the cost per share, or the cost of all the shares? For instance, if I put down that I have 2 shares of XYZ and I purchased each share for $50.00, do I put $50.00, or $100.00 in the 'cost basis' column?

Regards,

Ryan

Q: Greetings, CU has corrected as if it is a growth stock. Is this just a 'valuation' correction or is there something that i have missed.

Thank you

Q: Hi Team,
Following the CSU model, if TOI does not issue new shares to finance acquisitions and its cash flow was negative at the end of its 3rd quarter, do they finance acquisitions solely with debt? Thanks

Q: I have 3 securities (TOI, GSY, WSP) in my TFSA (in approximately the same amounts), and have added $6000 cash to that brokerage account for 2022. Would it seem reasonable to add to each of the 3 positions with the newly added cash, or would you feel I should prefer one or the other security(ies) among the 3?
