Q: I would like to purchase QQQ but in Canadian funds and not hedged. I think that QQQ.F.CA or XQQ are options. But I notice that QQQ shows about 10% better price increase over the last 3 years than the CDN options.
Are there other pros and cons of purchasing say XQQ instead of converting my cash to USD and buying QQQ?

Q: HiTeam:

Good day!

I am holding SCHW & SBNY with some 30% loss, and COLD some 7% loss. Should I let go the first two and hold the COLD?

Please take the points for each one as I have 3 companies in question.

Thank you.

Louisa

Q: Hi,

Which would you buy for the long term or is there a better choice? I'm surprised at the low beta of both ATVI and TTWO as I don't like volatility.
Would you wait or buy now?

Q: Good morning folks
I bought more SQ at $39.00. I shaved a bit on the up. Raymond James downgraded it to a SELL with a future price of $41.00. What is your take on the near term ( 1 to 2 years)? If it does drop I will buy a bit more. Yes..I am putting on my "trading Hat".
Thank you for your guidance during these troublesome times. Stay safe ..

Q: I own Truist Financial (formerly BBT) and ever since it merged with Sun Trust it seems to have struggled. Now, with Covid-19, it is taking an inordinate beating. I'm wondering if taking on Sun Trust has been bad timing now because of the virus crisis. I also own BAC and they have a similar looking Balance sheet only with much bigger numbers. Can you have a look at their fundamentals to ascertain if they are healthy enough to survive this pandemic and be able to get to the other side or should I be cutting it loose.
Thanks, Carl

Q: I have US cash to deploy and want to do so gradually in stages. I am already well invested in US Tech and I also have decent positions in COST and AMZN. Could you recommend some other US companies - those that have been unfairly punished by the virus that could be good long term investments. Also looking for some international exposure.
Thank you,
PD

Q: Hello,

What is your opinion on Capital One Financial? I noticed they have large insider ownership (for US financial institutions). The CEO has been there for 16 years. They were profitable during the financial crisis and apparently have strict underwriting. They have been beaten down worse than many. How do you think they will fair during this time? Would you buy here and if so, what is your target price in 12 months time?

Thank you!

Q: Wondering what you think of this company? It is a spinoff from Hewlett Packard that i had in my account. I noticed one question about in in 2018 when you mentionned it had a high debt load. I notice that it makes much larger swings than the general market on up's and down's. And i was wondering whether it might be a good candidate for swing trading, especially since i have a bit of it already.
Thanks

Q: Hi Team,
I am holding TWLO, and down 12% on it as of today. It has been showing some strength lately with the other tech names, but perhaps not as much as some others. What do you think of this companies growth potential? I am wondering if I should hold it, or if you would recommend switching the holding into a different US tech growth stock that you are much more convinced of (was noticing ROKU or DOCU)? I currently already hold NOW, AYX, CRM, SQ,TTD,FB. Thanks for your advice.

Shane.

Q: With oil Storage at a premium , and contango in the futures market
is relatively strong. the value of these oil tanker companies is fairly cheap and they have been able to increase their oil storage price.
This seems to me setting up for some very profitable earnings .
If you agree which companies would you prefer in this situation ?
Thanks
