Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi

Based on Ryan's reply to the questions asked on the 3 companies mentioned above today on BNN.
Would it be wise to sell them now or reduce my position?
If yes, what would you suggest to replace them with?
Looking for growth first and a dividend is always nice.
Thank you
Mike

Q: I am holding all of these ETFs in fairly equivalent amounts in both TFSA and Cash accounts. I will need to sell some to pay my 2017 tax bill, as the sale of an investment property has me realizing some significant capital gains.

Do you have a recommendation for which ones to sell over others, or would you maintain an equal weighting? These will be long-term investments.

Q: Your thoughts on CLR and HLF as they settle down after not so good results. Also, when is the period of greatest tax loss selling and how much would you let it influence buying and selling opportunities particularly in TFSA and RRSP accounts?

Q: PBH is down bigtime today but I am far more concerned about ENB. PBH is still very much in an uptrend as it has been since 2009. ENB on the other hand, is in a downtrend and has been for a year now. And, very, very rare for a Balanced Equity stock, has been showing up in the 52 week low column a number of times in the past while. What do you see for ENB. Are you considering any changes?

Q: When I try to trade securities listed in Exchanges in Japan, UK, other Europe, bank-owned brokers (RBC-DI and iTRADE) have a hard time giving me a quote. Even if when I get a quote, the have trouble handling my trade. And if they do, the trades incur very high commissions. I understand there are brokers in Canada who do handle international trades, but I do not know who they are.

I am therefore looking for a Japan small-cap ETF of companies that:
- are small or mid-cap (i.e. prefer to avoid the large Japan cartel type orgs); and
- whose sales have a significant export component; and
- which holding a modest number of securities, say 50 or 75 although I suspect I would have to be flexible as to number of holdings given that I am seeking small-caps
- trades in the US or Canada
I skipped currency hedge as requirements (although that would be great)

I have checked online resources but didn’t see ETFs of Japan-based exporters.
I would be thankful if you are able to tell of any ETFs you are able to find.
