Investment Q&A

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

Q: It seems like the places to be near and mid term are US and Europe for growth and not Canada for the time being. I have exposure in Canada already with Utility and Financial dividend payers which I will continue to hold, could you recommend your favorite ETFs for some exposure to US, Europe and possible Emerging markets if you like the EM.
Also, could you comment on the "Hedged to CAD" ETFs---It seems to me we trade ETFs like stocks through our brokerage accounts in CAD, so why worry what the ETF managers are doing as far as currency is concerned?

Q: HELP, I am a confused investor trying to sort out the world of Technology stocks. What I would like is a meaningful way to categorize technology companies, particularly US tech. co's. For example:
PFPT is a security provider.
TSM and AVGO are semiconductor co's.
NVDA does graphics
IBM is an IT co.
5iR Team help.....could you breakdown internet tech into some subcategories and perhaps give me a US stock name for each that would allow me to do some research. In other words I see the forest but help me name the trees.
Thanks team. Chris

Q: My portfolio is based almost entirely on your balanced equity but I have two international ETFs, ZDM and ZUE. (only about 7% of the portfolio, total). I have two Canadian ETFs, ZLB (has done reasonably well, +32% in two years) and HAC (up but not really spectacular). It strikes me that I am missing an opportunity to diversify further internationally by moving the two Canadian ETFs. If you agree, can you recommend any to consider? I

Q: I am very pleased with performance of SIS. I have a double past 12 months.

Question is what other Canadian Companies will benefit from the aging of Canadians. I read that 10,000 Americans a day reach the age of 65 ( The Baby Boomers ) and this will continue for the next 18 years. That is a lot of people that will need some form of assistance. We must have similar demographics in Canada.

What U S Companies fall into this category as well as Canadian Companies Thanks very much. bob

Q: Hi 5iResearch Team,

I have a full position on CVS for just over a year the stock has not been doing great over this period of time. I understand from a piece on BNN that Amazon is looking at getting into the pharmacy business.

If indeed that comes to past, I imagine it would impact negatively on pharmacies such as CVS, Walgreen, etc. So I am contemplating of liquidating my position on CVS. Your comments and thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Harry
