Investment Q&A

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

Q: Your Portfolio Analytics is expressing serious concerns about my lack of International content. It seems reasonably pleased with my CDN and US content. I was looking at ETF VEA but maybe a combination of it and an emerging market ETF. Oh, No or limited China please! I looked at VEE holdings and Yahoo says it is 100% VWO which seems weird and maybe wrong.
Have a great holiday season and thanks for your your great work!!

Q: HI team
I am a little confused with this company, I had wrote it of, but it has made a good comeback. They had earnings of $.55 last quarter, and have settled with their debt holders, I believe, and should be coming out of protection. With such good earnings why is it trading at $ 1.90, please educate me.

thanks

happy xmass and keep safe

Q: More of an educational question on Convertable Bonds, e.g. NFI conv bonds issued 2 Dec 2020 at $1000 per bond paying 5% interest convertable to common shares at $33.15 anytime before or on maturity in 15 Jan 2027. These trade on the TSX under NFI.DB currently at $99.00. How does the price go from 1000 to 99. Would I be buying the "bond" or something else. What price would I get on maturity. Is it common for convertable debentures to trade on the TSX.
Thanks in advance. Ken

Q: Howdy to all you Santa's helpers, thanks for all your wise council.
My question today is: i recently sold GUD after a long hold and so am looking for another healthcare replacement. I know you have reported on NBLY and AND and so wondering which of the two you would recommend to replace GUD. Or, do you have a better recommendation?

Thanks to all

Q: I have Fiera in my RRIF and while it pays a great dividend it has not grown. Enbridge on the other hand has also a good dividend and has grown. I currently own 3 banks and Pembina pipeline. How would you compare from a risk perspective and would consider this a good alternative. Other recommendations would be appreciated. I am a dividend moderate growth retired investor.
