Q: I m 73 years old with God willing at least another 10 years left. My Lightspeed is down 70%,$11,000. leaving me with $4,530 in my TFSA. Can you see any timeline for a turn around or should I be sucking it up and putting it in something else? Was looking at LIFE-T as a safety measure but wondering if you have some other suggestions.
Thank you for what you do for us

Q: Pollard bank note is down at 52 week lows. It has come off sharply from its highs, which were probably way too high. Someone last week on Market Call, I think it was Tcascy, said that labor was up because PBL was so busy they had to have people work lots of overtime and because of that they added another shift so next quarters earnings should look much better. Sounds plausible but I have not been able to check if that is true. What does 5i know and what is your opinion of PBl in general? I have started a small position but not sure if I should add if it takes another leg down.

Q: I added Descartes Systems on a pull back a few weeks back. I am surprised, but not concerned,, that it has been so volatile. After I bought a small position it quickly went up more than 10 per cent and this week I am back in the red. Is this type of movement normal for DSG? Has somehting changed at DSG or is just getting pushed up and down because it is part of a number of ETFs? I would like to add to the position but first I would like for 5i to let us members know if something has changed with DSG.

Q: We far prefer to keep dividends in the account of the same currency. Note that some companies and some brokers still convert dividends even in a US account, unless specific instructions are given. But this is fairly rare and 90%+ of the time it is better from a fee perspective to keep US dividends in a US account.

Reading the above answer to Dave's question would you move all shares that pay dividends in US dollars to the US side of my account - BAM.A, FNV, AEM, TRI, CSU, AQN etc. Thank you as always for your help. Barbara

Q: Hello Team.. As interest rates climb my strategy is to slowly buy into bond funds (now in cash).. maybe ZAG or XSH. For example at 3.48 % for ZAG, that's a reasonable dividend and the rate hikes have barely begun. My question is -although the unit price of the fund will decrease "is the payout stable or increasing" as maturing bonds are replaced at higher yields.Steady buying at lower unit prices (and higher dividend)could help kill the pain of the early buying-what do you think.( 71 year old income investor soon to be starting RIF withdrawals) Thank you yet again..best regards Gary

Q: Hi 5iTeam,

I would like to find out how stock markets did in times of high interest and inflation rates. Would you please shed some lights as to how the US and Canadian stock markets did in late 1970s and early 1980s.

And indeed if there were significant pullbacks during these periods, how long then did it take for the markets to recover.

As always thanks for your invaluable service.

Best Regards,
H
