Investment Q&A

Q: Many thanks to Donald the member who gave us a report on his bitcoin experience. I have been pondering an investment but it does sound very risky and complicated. Especially if one is a bit technically challenged.I think I will wait on crypto currency for a while yet.

Q: Hi,
It appears that SHOP beat on earnings and revenue. It is down 10% on the open. Was there any concerns flagged in the conference call or not all concerns addressed from short report? If no concerns do you think it is a good time to add more? My weight in Shop is around 2-2.5% range?
Thanks,
Kerri

Q: Could I please get your thoughts on earnings/conference call after you have listened to it.

Thanks.

Q: I want to invest in the lithium (battery theme). Is LAC the way to go. What individual stocks would you recommend.

Q: SYZ finally spent some of their money on an acquisition a couple of weeks ago and the stock ticked up a bit. What will it take to really move the stock price. I have a full position and am content waiting but sometimes it's a very slow wait.

Q: The shares continue to drift down with a yield approaching 10%, usually something that I have, in the past, viewed with some concern. I wanted to see how previous earnings were trending and to my surprise there are, at least in my sources, no earnings posted for year end 2016, nor for the first and second quarters of this year. They were scheduled for reporting in March, May, and August. What is happening? Why no results? And is this connected with what is happening with the shares?

Q: If one wanted to sell Aecon and move on what are some companies or suggestions in the Industrials sector that are buyable today with some growth and a good dividend

Q: Which will have a bigger impact on the price and prospects of this company ? Interest rate hikes in Canada, or the general economic health of the Canadian economy ?

Q: Hello for IoT which of these two would you prefer to own or is there another you might like better? Thanks

Q: Peter and Ryan

Great work
Keep reminding people to stop looking at their bond returns.
Everything equity is going up but people email you about a small loss on their bonds. Smooth seas only last so long and those bonds are there when the storm hits.

Q: I have recently sold my cottage and wanted to know where to invest the money to get the best safe return. I already have reached my comfort level in stock investments so in today's low rate environment where would I find the highest rate of bond gic etc as I plan to retire in 3 years and this money is my safety net thanks.

Q: Hello Peter, I want to have a reasonable allocation to US industrials, including companies like UTX and Texas Instruments, those in the defence sector, etc. I'd like to do this via a well-priced ETF but am a bit lost in the growing ETF jungle. I already have small 2% positions in IWO and QQQ. To best gain exposure to the US industrial sector (including industrial technology stocks that are more economically sensitive), would you suggest I just add to these two ETFs, or can you suggest a better or more targeted one? (I do have a preference for Vanguard as a company, but that's not essential.) Thanks in advance!

Q: My 22 year old son is a great saver with a long term horizon. His current investments are as follows and he holds approx $3,000 - $4,000 in each name:

$40,000 in a balanced TFSA with the following stocks: BCE, CHE.UN, CPH, ECN, KXS, MRE, MAXR, NA, PTG, SHOP, TOY and WEF

$12,000 in a Cash account with: OTC, PBH and SIS

He has another $10,000 to invest in his cash account. What 2 or 3 stocks would you suggest he adds - either to increase existing holdings or to establish new positions? To make it a "teachable moment" can you please give the rationale for your suggestions.
