Investment Q&A

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

Q: I would like to get your opinion on Verde Agritech's current achievements and what you would like to see them achieving in the next 1 to 5 years. And if you could specifically address several different discussions regarding 1) the speed which they should attempt to increase production 2) the markets they should be targeting 3) the possibility of a dividend at a future point. I would assume a dividend would be a long way off but it is an idea that I find very interesting.

Thank you for your time.

Q: Can you comment on the earnings of Athabasca Oil? Also, I understand its balance sheet has improved since it's recent asset sale. Can you tell me the debt burden it currently has. I am thinking of buying it for a several year hold, awaiting a return of better oil prices. Can this company, with its current balance sheet, survive several years if oil prices stayed down? Thanks for your help.

Q: Hi Gang, good news is I sold most of the above with gains except for COV and KXS, looking closer if I did not the losses would put me in big trouble, over 40% for most of them from the high, I know that 2018 was not a stellar year but I'm 65 years old and can't wait 5 years for these stocks to come back, do you have any thoughts on how to get out before a stock takes a 40% haircut, is a 8% or 10% stop rule help or perhaps farther out. Thanks Anthony

Q: Good afternoon,
I began building an Investment Account with the ETF's approx 10% weight each. I added CGX(for Dividend) and a GIC when I was unsure of what to do.
I realize the overlap with XDV;XIU;CDZ; and the Royal Dividend Mutual Fund. What do you recommend I do with the overlap? Diversification? I would like to begin to add individual stocks. Long term horizon. Have RRSP and maxed TFSA.
Growth and medium risk profile. Thanks Paul

Q: Purchased this back in June 2018 for my RRSP account for some "growth" with a 2% position. Now down 22% - at what point does one say that's enough and move. Can you suggest a possible replacement a little less volatile.
thanks

Q: Hello I was wondering if you know of any ETF's like the ZEB for banks that would represent the insurers either traded in the US or Canada that you would recommend for a long term hold in and RRSP. DRIP eligible preferred.

Q: Our cash and RRSP accounts which are mainly conservative, well diversified, good dividend companies have largely recovered from last fall's blood bath. My TSFA accounts, where I am more aggressive, have not. I do not need the money in the TSFA accounts for some time so I am willing to wait for a recovery but would like to eliminate those that have faint hope of doing so. Given this, should I give up on any of the following and buy stocks from the 5I growth portfolio. I am retired.
TOY,TSGI,PHO,RAY.A,COV,SIS,GUD,GC
Most, if not all, were at one time looked on favourably by 5i but things change.
Many thanks for all the great answers to the questions which I read daily.
