Investment Q&A

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

Q: Just read a piece in FP on the option market and TSLA which appears to be an iceberg. While I have worried about TSLA and what it might do to the market should it crash it appears like I have missed an even larger worry. Is a TSLA failure capable of being a black swan event for the market as a whole?

Q: I plan to contribute some money ($50K) into RRSP and split between CAD and USD stocks. The time horizon is around 5-10 years. But it is always good to see some short term gain. Can you please provide ~ 5 stocks each (currency) to invest?

Thank you,

Q: GFL today announced that certain of its shareholders (the "Selling Shareholders") intend to offer for sale 12,658,228 subordinate voting shares (the "Shares"). GFL will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares (the "Offering"). J.P. Morgan will act as underwriter for the Offering.
GFL did a similar offering on April 23, 2021 for 17,500,00. Should this be a concern, or is this normal for relatively new and growing company?
Thanks
Roy

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

In reviewing our combined family TFSA portfolio, I’ve determined that we hold too much XST with its 0.61% MER. How would you rank the following stocks, which are all the constituents of XST? ATD.B, L, MRU, WN, SAP, EMP.A, PBH, PRMW, MFI, NWC, JWEL, VFF, and SOY.

Should I pay attention to the TMX ratings where WN, MFI, and VFF are considered strong buys? Only NWC was ranked as hold and all the others were moderate buys.

In your opinion, in what order could two or three of these constituents be purchased and are they buyable today?

Thanks as always for your valued advice!

Q: The portfolio analyzer tells me I am low in industrials, slightly over is US holdings, and under in international holdings. I have cash in US$ to deploy for 1.5 positions. Can you suggest an industrial or two that might help me balance. If I have to go over in US holdings I'm okay with that. Thanks!
