Investment Q&A

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

Q: Why is my CBO 5 year laddered corporate bond ETF giving me a present yield of about 4%. The best 5 year corporate bond I can find available to me as a DYI investor on TDWH yields only about 2.5% at. Why the difference. Should I be worried. I am 57 years old and approaching retirement and feel the need for some fixed and CBO seems the option. What to do about the fixed income portion. Sometimes I think for the fixed income component it would be best just to stay in an investment savings account which pays 1.25% and eliminates the risk of loss of capital.

Q: Good Day!

St. Andrew's Goldfields (SAS) is dropping like a stone despite what appears to be encouraging drill results. My understanding is that this is a producing gold mine. IS there a reason for the drop? Is this a good opportunity to double down?

Thanks,

DON

Q: Hi Peter and team,

I have been doing quite well in the markets for the last two years or so, thanks in large part to your outstanding service. I have been an active member from the beginning.

My question is, as of today, if there was one or two sectors you would take profits in, which ones would they be?

Thanks

Stephen

Q: A response to Evan on a forum for discussion.

I have monitored a discussion board for 11 years. I know most have this problem

"head and shoulders above the type of audience that plague other investing sites. "

It is a time consuming exercise to monitor discussion and you must be prepared to eliminate any possible problem. I have the power to delete posts and/or ban posters. I also may be freer to eliminate problem posts/posters than the 5i team might be. I believe my forum is known for no conflict and especially no politics. I do not have any expertise that the 5i team could offer.

5i--I separate this in case you want not to publish this link--I am neutral on it.

Q: I am really seeing great value in my membership with 5I, keep up the good work.
Other than the stocks in the model portfolio which I am using for my Canadian exposure, could you please suggest one stock to buy approx $20,000 worth with good growth potential over the next 6-9 months.

Q: hi peter, i currently have my pension in stocks that are split between US and International companies the last year; after the good run they had last year, as the TSX was lagging, but still gaining, i am wondering if know is a good time to re-invest in the TSX and switch to totally TSX equities. Basically i am trying to decide which market has the better potential for large cap stock gains over the next 12 to 18 months?

thanks hugh

Q: Have you ever considered creating a 5I membership forum for members to discuss/debate stock holdings? There are some savvy subscribers here no doubt where it would be beneficial to hear some continued feedback on stocks bouncing ideas/thoughts etc; back n’ forth per your question/answer section, call it an added 5I advantage within your growing readership. Less experienced investors could sit back and observe taking notes/pointers – a learning forum if you may. Of course, having it closely monitored by Mr. Hodson and the 5I team to answer/clarify pertinent queries on stocks would be the main root of creating such a forum. There seems to be a short term outlook by some members on here as is evident by the barrage of questions on stocks on a weekly sometimes daily basis, there seems to be many repetitive questions on the favorite core of stocks with a short term focus which isn’t what 5i sets forth. I’m sure a forum like this might break away some of 5I’s time to give us more updated reports and perhaps blast out by mass email when a company reports on a quarterly basis/earnings etc; that you know will bombard with questions (why not hit many members with one mass email?). I’m sure there wouldn’t be a whole lot of policing to enforce on a forum with certain privileges revoked if the forum got out of hand as this seems like head and shoulders above the type of audience that plague other investing sites. I can’t be the only one to pose this question, your thoughts along this avenue would be appreciated. Thank you.
