Investment Q&A

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

Q: I recently read that Wealthsimple was firing staff and cutting back on some services. I do use Wealthsimple Trade and have been very happy with its simplicity and ease of use. Should an investor be concerned about bankruptcy for a firm like Wealthsimple as opposed to investing/trading with a bank like National Bank or one of the big banks ?

Q: Hello I am considering buying SLF at these levels $57 to $59 with a dividend yield of 4.75%.
I want to hold these shares for a minimum of 3 years, but more likely into the 5 year range.
I know this is a difficult question to ask, but based on your experience, how much downside % do you think this stock has?
I would like to buy in allotments over the next 3 months.
Suggestions, thank you.

Q: I had thought rising rates would be good for insurance companies, but they're certainly not reflecting that. SLF only has a P/E of 8.85 but it's still going down quickly. Great West has done no better. How do insurance companies perform in a rising rate/inflationary cycle?

Q: When looking for stripped bond offerings on my broker's screen, I can see an entry named Sagen Mi Canada that offer's a good yield with a credit rating of AH/BBB+. I know nothing of this company. Would you have any insight on the matter, or should i just keep passing on it?
Thank you

Q: Hi!
I got into CIX a few months ago at around $20. I am happy to hold and wait to break even at least. Would you be able to suggest how long that will wait will be? Also, are the fundamentals still in place for CIX for the market to pay $20 for CIX.
Not to worry...it wasn't a massively concentrated position or anything! : )

Q: I live in a city where every other car seems to be a Tesla. I noticed on teslas loan page that they only deal with the three banks mentioned above when it comes to financing.

Will this materially move the needle for any of these institutions in the long run?

Thanks

Q: We owned Onex since 2006, we are from $20 to$ 64. Not that great given the meagre dividend. It is about 1% of total portfolio. we have some newly realized cash and wonder if we should augment the position to 3% given the low valuation now.
could you suggest other well priced private equity or conglomerate, (Claivest?) We are looking at the long term.
Thank you.
