Investment Q&A

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

Q: If you were to speculate, can you list 2-3 companies for each that are the most likely to, or that make the most sense to, acquire them?
For GoEasy, would it be an alternative lender like home capital or equitable bank, or one or the big 5-6 banks?
For Shopify, would be another payment company like PayPal or MasterCard, a similar online Company like EBay, or a juggernaut like Amazon or Google who would swallow shopify up?

Thank you

Q: On Oct 30 Go Easy put out a press release about an enhancement to their credit facility by a syndicate of banks. Since then the stock has done well along with a positive earning release.

The question here is more educational but when the banks give out these credit facility and assuming they have an investment arm dealing in mutual funds etc is the exception for those fund mangers to buy GSY in their funds if it fits the fund profile? Trying to get a sense of the relationship here (if any)

Q: I own only these two companies in an unregistered account and need to raise some cash, so I need to sell either a 1/2 position of one or 1/4 position of each. Both holdings are up substantially (100% and 80% respectively). Based on continued future growth, do you have a suggestion of how I should proceed? Thanks so much.

Q: Hello 5I
My holdings include, with total portfolio weights::
ATD.B (4.65%); BYD.UN (5.65%); CP (3.65); CSU (3.50%); GSY (4.6%); WSP (4.20%); ZEM (4.5%)

I have concern about a possible recession and economic slow down, and I would like to structure the equities in my portfolio with a bit more of a conservative and defensive tilt.

I otherwise would want to keep these positions but do you see any of these 7 being less conservative and defensive? With my objective in mind, should any be reduced or eliminated?

thanks for your excellent service.

Q: I’m struggling to decide which 3 of these holdings have the greatest potential if the only criteria was growth in a TFSA for a 5 year + hold.
I would appreciate any thoughts on which 3 you might keep and why (or which 3 you might divest and why).
