Investment Q&A

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

Q: Could you explain why VGT seems to perform better than QQQ. And why you recommend the latter more often than not.
Thank you.

Q: Hello you Guys,
My question is as follows :
A number of years ago (3 or 4?) on a portfolio review it was suggested I buy VOX as I had no telecommunications exposure. It has been up and down and currently down. Would it make sense for me to sell the VOX and swing into either Telus, Bell or any other holding you would suggest at this time? And while I have you, is there 1 particular stock you would say is a diamond in the ruff? I'm pretty well diversified so sector stuff not so important, just a really great company that you guys really like. Bet you hate these questions but you never disappoint!
many thanks.

Q: What ETFs best mirror selling put options on the S&P 500, the Nasdaq, and the Dow? Would they be a viable hedge against a falling market without having to sell individual long term positions that I wish to continue holding?

Q: Are currency exchanges using a DLR/DLR.U transaction to be reported on one's income tax return? The transaction will usually result in a small loss when the commission is factored in. (It would seem odd to be able to claim this loss, when you can't write off the fee for exchanging dollars at the bank!)

Q: You had previously given the following criteria to judge momentum stocks: "For momentum we like a rising stock price with increasing volume, positive earnings surprises, accelerating earnings, analysts' upgrades and target prices. "

Would I be correct in assuming that in the current markets, we need to think more like value investors, however, than momentum investors? If my observation is correct how does one then analyze value stocks?

Appreciate your insight.
