Q: Hi
From earlier question about ATD

The conversion was not completed smoothly.
I was informed, to keep placeholder, Broker used U.S. available version until corrected.
The situation will be rectified over next two days. Maybe even by Friday

Q: I know no stock is as safe as bonds, cash etc. However based on valuation I think Manulife is a good stock right now based on valuation and dividend. Any red flags when you consider this stock? Thanks Bill

Q: Since both stocks have been hit hard of late - for similar reasons. Which stock would you think has the best chance of short-term recovery and long-term success. I own some NVEI shares but was wondering if it might be good to trigger the loss and replace with LSPD shares if it had a stronger outlook. Or if going a more conservative route - what 3 or 4 stocks would you say have decent growth prospects and good valuations and could pick up a decent amount of shares if have about $5k?

Q: I had a small investment in ATD & when dual shares were done away with I now have the same number of shares but they are US shares listed on the pink sheets. I didn't opt for this & have a couple of questions re the conversion. Is it a good thing that they are US shares? Did this occur for all share holders of ATD? Why didn't I get the Canadian version which is still trading on the TSX? Finally, the US version appears to be quite volatile; is that just the market or is there anything to be concerned about here?
Thanks
Dave

Q: In a recent response (December 7), you ranked COST ahead of WMT. Can you please advise why? Thanks again.

Q: Not a question, just an observation. Evergrande is in the (mainstream) news again this AM Dec 9. Blackrock is being reported as being the second-largest institutional holder of Evergrande shares, and I wondered what impact there might be on my portfolio specifically as regards my holdings in XAW. In looking on Blackrock's site for XAW's holdings, I found that out of total XAW holdings of $3.8 billion, Evergrande accounts for a mere $21 thousand, less than 0.01%.
I haven't looked at other iShares ETF's, but as far as XAW is concerned -- I'm not worried.

Q: Hi,
I own both AEM and KL, both with losses that I can use this year or carry forward.
I could sell one of them and buy the other as one question mentioned today. Which one you recommend I sell to buy the other? Or it does not really matter?
Regards

Q: Can I get your current evaluation of AMRC? In your opinion is it becoming more established or is the risk level still high due to being in a sector that has been hot for the past couple years?

Q: Can you please comment on earnings release, price relative to peers and recent declining stock price? (I think the stock price declines relates to software malfunctions in the news that have been rectified & weak sector)

Q: Which of the above clean energy etf would you prefer if exposure to this sector is desired?

Q: Good Morning

I understand the NVEI issued a statement about the Short Report. Have you seen it and analyzed it?

What is your takeaway from it. Do you believe it has credibility?

Q: Since inception, across all the portfolios, was any healthcare company that was sold with a profit?

Q: Nubank (NU Stock) IPO. Could I get your opinion if this would be a good investment?

Thank you.

Q: Good morning,
Tax loss selling season has arrived and looking at my non registered portfolio I see that PKI is significantly below my purchase price and while I still like PKI for the long term, it is a candidate for tax loss selling this year. I would appreciate your thoughts on:
Q1. Selling PKI and replacing this holding with ATD
Q2. Selling PKI and purchasing ATD as a proxy until I'm able to repurchase PKI in 30 days.
Q3. Recommending another stock or ETF to purchase following the sale of PKI
I thank you and look forward to your thoughts and sage advice.

Q: If the short report on nuvei is half true-only half its devastating.
and guess what lightspeed has not come close to revovering.

My question is why dont you tell your members to back off, my impression is your encouraging them to hold on, things arent that bad etc etc.

Q: I agree with Joel about the passive response from Canadian companies and sometimes you need to give the antagonist a bloody nose otherwise they will never stop doing this. These shorters need our shares to short and the institutions are only allowed to lend those out from a margin account, so I believe. I do wonder if in fact that is the case.
The only way you can be sure that your shares are secure in your regular account is if you hold those shares physically as stock certificates. Who does that today in this electronic age?

The regulators need to do much more in preventing this rape of our portfolios happening.

If nothing is done, no stock will be safe, this will continue, people will still panic and the long term objective of realizing your nest egg will take a lot longer as these attacks can technicaly damage the stock.

I have been a customer of 5i since 2013 and am in a position that I am very comfortable with my portfolio today thanks to your help. I very rarely need to ask a question and therefore I am happy to donate 3/4 of my 168 question credits.

Keep up the good work

Peter
