Q: Hi, I am thinking of buying CARA. In the consumer cyclical sector, BPF.UN, QSR & AW.UN are all trading above their 200 day SMA, while CARA is well below its 200 SMA & is trending down in price. What are your thoughts on why CARA is out of favour with investors while other stock prices of companies in the similar business are increasing in value. Thanks … Cal

Q: Hello gentlemen,

My query pertains to CNR. I took in half a position yesterday (2.5%) and was hoping to wait for a pullback within the next few weeks to buy the remaining half. Do you think the rails are too richly valued at the moment ? Given CNR north south trajectory thorough the continent, do you think it's shipments, and in turn it's stock price may be negatively impacted by potential border taxes ?

Please enlighten me as to whether you are of the opinion that a full poisiton can be purchased, and how you would approach. Do you view this as a solid buy? I'm 31, so my horizon is very long.

Thx

KR

Q: Greetings 5i,

Accumulating funds over the next 18-24 months for a downpayment on first time home. I expect my TFSA account will receive most of the cash as I do not wish to draw down my RRSP account. I was needing your advice on where you feel this money should be placed? Would rising interest rates and possible inflation kicking in be a consideration here? Also this will be a monthly contribution situation and my online broker(TD WebBroker) charges a $9.99 fee for ETF and equity transactions which I would like to avoid. Would TDB909 be a satisfactory option for this? Should I open up an account with a different broker if needed to avoid these fees and dollar cost average into an ETF of your recomendation?

Thanks for all the great advice!
