Q: Hi,

CAE seems to be rangebound between ~$34-39 over the past six months. I realize six months is a VERY short time frame to base investing on, but as the price is approaching the top range yet again-I am contemplating moving on.

In your opinion, what do you think it will take to break through the $39ish price range?

thanks for all the great advice over the years.

Q: Hi 5i,
What is your opinion of perpetual preferred shares at this time (some utilities and financial companies)? I invested in them last year and have made a modest profit. The profit is nice but the dividend based on my cost base is nice also. I know the growth is limited but do they remain good investments for the next few years considering the economic climate?
Thank you.

Q: I am with TD and wanted to further explore crypto currencies.

I am looking at Bitcoin, Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH), Stellar (CRYPTO:XLM) and Cardano (CRYPTO:ADA.

I am not sure, but I could buy Bitcoin with BTCC.B?
Ethereum with ETHH.B?
And I would have to buy Stellar and Cardano with Coinbase, or does TD or Weatlhsimple do this?
Or is there an ETF for Stellar and Cardano or is there an ETF for a group of newer coins?
Really confused Boomer.

Q: Federal Election
Jagmeet Singh has proposed a 75% Capital Gains tax.

If Trudeau gets back with a minority government, (proped-up by Singh) does this change seem likely? If so, what action do you recommend investors take?

Q: Yet another Q on ECN. Sorry. Was listening again to Hudson's interview on BNN on Aug. 11. In it Steve mentioned that he expects cash flow to grow to 120mil. a year in (relatively) short order. I was just wondering how that would look on a company that will trade (let us say) for $3.00 a share? I am imagining that there are few PF managers who could own ECN as it grew but soon won't be able to because of size and when I can hope for them to return?

TIA

Q: After selling a rental property I now have cash that equals approx 25% of my investment portfolio. My goal with this cash would be to create a mini portfolio within 2 TFSA's to produce dividend income to help with everyday expenses for the next 5 years or so. After this time the investments would be sold and incorporated into my balanced portfolio as the income should no longer be needed. I am looking to keep the portfolio to a max of 6 positions that are diversified from a geographical and sector standpoint. I do not have an exact income requirement, but 4% was my initial target. What investments would you suggest to meet my goals? Feel free to deduct as many credits as required.

Can you comment on this stock. It seems to be in the right place at the right time. However, I am unable to conceptualize if the current math are right for this stock to jump in, i.e., P/E, EBITA, etc., etc. Thank you for the great service..
