Investment Q&A

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

Q: A you are aware ITA is a ETF focusing on the defence and aerospace sector. Is there a canadian ETF that I can buy on the TSX that accomplishes the same thing? As well what are your thoughts on GE. Would you recommend or do you think that it has run up too much and too quickly. Thank you.

Q: Dear Peter et al:

It seems that my earlier question on NBIS was "swallowed' by cyberspace! So, I am posting it again taking your answers to Claus/Gilles on July 24th into consideration.

It popped up to 57+ and then promptly/very quickly dropped down to 50s. What was all that about? It's earnings are going to be released next week? I see on my iTrade analysts recommendations is a SELL! (Research Team and CFRA) But on other sites it is a BUY! (Interactive Brokers).

What is your take on it's earnings? I know you would say that it is a BUY but for aggressive investors and be mindful of position size! (We get to read your answers between the lines!! You don't like price targets. But let me ask for your price target anyway!!

Worth selling some cash secured puts? Any suggestions for Strike price/Exp date for puts?

I have a small position and am in a loss position.(not huge but a loss nevertheless)

Hope this makes it to your queue in a timely fashion.!

Q: In an otherwise diversified TFSA - I'm looking at adding a small (aggressive) position - given the current price on some of the above and many recent questions/comments on others - I've come up with some candidates.

Can you give me your thoughts on which one(s) you might choose?

Thanks,

Terry

Q: I currently hold half positions in GOOG and AMZN, and both positions show current gains. I also have a full position in GLBE, which is currently underwater. I'd like to consolidate and wonder what to sell and why. Long term hold and taxes not really a consideration. Many thanks

Q: I am coming into a $50,000 gift from aging parents, and would like to invest for my 10 month old son’s education. I want long term growth until he needs the money (probably 18 years or so). Would you recommend 100% ZSP or some other ETF? Also, should I buy in one shot as soon as I have the money ?

Q: I have a small position in Lululemon, which has recently become smaller after the downturn in share price. My impression of the most recent quarterly results from the company were that they were not robust, but roughly in line with previous estimates (if slighlty below them). It appears that market sentiment is currently holding the company in disfavour: share price has continued to slide downward after the substantial correction weeks earlier.

Is holding onto this company still a prudent measure, or is it time to cut losses and move onto other opportunities? I would be very happy to read your thoughts on this company. Thanks so much, and I look forward to your response.

Q: I purchased a 3.5% position in BRK after the announcement that Buffet was stepping down. I chose BRK over FFH. I am down 6.5% so far.

I can take this as a buying opportunity and increase my position in BRK to 5%.

I can also sell half of my BRK position for a tax loss and buy an equal amount of FFH.

I can also do nothing. I am a growth investor in my late seventies.

What would you do in this situation?

Thank you

Q: Greetings - To postpone tax liability from income, I would like to develop a balanced portfolio of stocks and ETFs for the medium term (3-10 years) that do not pay dividends or interest. Rather, I would prefer to incur the tax liability upon selling the holdings (capital gains). I am aware of Global X Total Return ETFs and stocks like BRK.B that do not pay annual dividends. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks

Q: Hello there,
What are your thoughts on HIVE and its AI / high-performance computing business. Do they have any potential in developing that segment knowing the high amount of funding required to be competitive.
Thank you.
