Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello 5i:
can you advise on the ETF HQH? I'd like more US exposure, in US dollars and would see this as a very small part of the portfolio. I'm attracted by the yield, and by the fact that Biotech in general has been pretty beaten up; meaning little downside with good upside. I'm thinking of holding in a TFSA, if an investment is made.
thanks

Q: Can you provide a few names that would benefit from the rise of autonomous vehicles? I'm a bit leery of TSLA because Elon Musk seems to have gone off the deep-end lately. I also think companies like ACQ could be in trouble because fewer cars will purchased in the long-term.

Q: Thoughts on Arista Networks?

Also, if I bought this company back in January for a long-term hold how much homework do I need to do moving forward? The volatility doesn't bother me I just never know when a pullback is due to a long term structural issue or short term trading activity. There is a lot of noise out there!

Q: Group - Several weeks ago I asked a question about both Canadian + us banks +Pay pal +Score and so on. The question was that I was watching my profits slowly but surely disappearing in the sector ( I have been heavy into Financials for the last 2 yrs so have done very well) . I wanted to cash out but was advised that with strong quarterly results expected to hold on and everything would work out (I hold 20 % total portfolio exposure). I want to revisit the question now all the companies have reported earning and they continue to drop especially US holdings. Please give me your present thoughts on the sector (both Cad + US Financials+ the overall market its getting ugly and strong earnings are not helping the overall trend downwards. Thanks for your valued opinion . There are several questions here so deduct as you see fit

Q: Hello Folks;
Do you an have opinion on Northern Pacific Railway. Currently I have a 5% position in CSX railway and considering selling my 5% position in Parkland Fuel for Northern Pacific, as Parkland appears to have topped out. What is your thinking on such a trade..... CN and CP appear to offer more limited scope. I realize rails are riskier bellweather industrial stocks than a Parkland Fuel, Boyd Collision etc. I My uncertainty results from concern of whether the US economy continues it’s upward momentum. Do you consider a 10% allotement to US rails excessive?
Thank you for your great service
