Investment Q&A

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

Q: Do you only have to wait 30 days to repurchase a stock if the sale will be used as a loss?

I sold a half position in a company "for a gain", if this company drops in price over the next few days can I buy it back?

Thanks as always,

Paul

Q: Hi 5i,
What is your opinion of HHF (Horizons Morningstar Hedge Fund Index ETF)? Does it provide a means to get access to hedge fund strategy without being a client of a hedge fund? If so what percent of an overall portfolio is reasonable to be allocated to this ETF?
Thank you.

Q: Healthcare makes up 7% of one of my portfolios, and I want to increase this to 10%. It consists of 5 stocks: CXR (2.3%), DR (2.2%), and CCT, GUD, and PHM each less than 1%, and all in a non-registered account. Eventually I need to replace CCT since it has been taken over.

I have been looking to add from the following companies: CPH, CRH, CXR, GUD, PHM, PLI, and RX.

I can hold for 5 years and can tolerate some risk. Please help me figure out what stocks I should acquire to diversify within the sector to bring my weighting up to 10%, and explain why. I have room in my TFSA, so some additions could be in that account if you feel they are better placed in that account.

Thanks,
Paul J

Q: If it was a large position because of years of share price appreciation, would you reduce IPL in light of the new Alberta NDP government's negative stance on pipelines?

Q: Hello,



In March, ICL was offering 0.50 per share to buy out Allana Potash. Now, the market is trading between 0.485-0.49 a share. I am wondering how firm is the deal?

Should I invest my money in it? I estimate the profit is around 3% for a period of 3 months. If you think this is a secure investment, I am considering buying some shares.



Thanks in advance for your response.
