Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello, just learned about this company ABB ltd. Apart from the systems it makes for utilities and it's automation systems, I've learned that it's into fast charging stations for electric vehicles. Good dividend yield and I'm wondering if you can provide an opinion on whether it's worth putting some funds into this stock. Thanks as always for your excellent service.

Q: Last year I took a sizeable position in VEE as one of the main parts of my foreign diversification. It has, like so much else, dropped a lot. I am wondering if the prospects for recovery in the emerging markets are not as favourable as the potential in the US or Canada, where economic resources (or the ability to backstop printed money) are stronger. As such, I am inclined to sell this position (and as you point out, harvest a tax loss) and migrate to some North America holding(s). Your comments, pls. Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: I understand that a covered call investment is not the holding to have during a market rebound.

Instead of ZWE, which ETF would be appropriate holding to capitalize on a rebound.

This stock seems to be holding quite well in the .present debacle. What is your analyse of it ? Would you buy it now ? And could you explain me, in simple terms, what they do ?
By the way, your report of March 19 on special opportunities was nothing but "WOW" ! Most appreciated !
Thank you for your outstanding service,

Q: Hello Peter and Team,

If the long term thesis is that after this latest crises, companies will diversify outside of China for manufacturing, countries like India should do well. What other countries would do well for long term in your opinion due to this and how would you invest in this thesis? How would you invest in India?

Thanks,

Wes

Q: Do you have recommendations on how to possible play the OPEC announcement regarding not cutting production? Is it good for Saudi companies since their per barrel production costs are quite a bit lower than the western world's? Do you see something like KSA being a good buy (its off quite a bit from only 1 year ago)? It seems between OPEC and the Canadian governments apparent intent on crippling the Canadian energy industry, that there's likely no point in buying Canadian energy companies for a while. I do still own ENB for some degree of north American exposure.

Q: My current portfolio is somewhat similar to your BE portfolio but with a small (15%) portion of foreign holdings (more if you consider BEP which I also hold, as foreign since it has a lot of foreign investments). Foreign is far too small in my estimation. I have some cash to deploy which would bring it up to about 30%.
I currently hold VEE, DXG and DXU, an awful lot of US. Do you have any suggestions of ETFs I could or should add? I have held ZDM in the past.
