Investment Q&A

Q: Do you like SPG ? Is it a good time to buy now? Thank you.

Q: In a recent answer to Ed you recommended this company as one of the top Canadian REITS that hold US properties ("Tricon (TCN) would be the top of the list." ). However, when I took a look, it is today $12.86, and 5 years ago was 12.00 so not much capital appreciation. The distribution is only 2.2%. It has been the same ($.07) for 5 years, and was one cent less ($.06) for about 5 years before that. In light of what seems to me very lacklustre performance, what makes you put this at the top of your list? Thanks!

Q: Any idea when MDA will start trading? And, since the IPO price is way below the offering range would you buy on opening day? Are you concern on the low demand for the stock? Thanks.

Q: The above stocks had good upward movement on Friday and wondering if was in response to aav report on carbon neutral technology ? Your thoughts for the future of this for aav and the natural gas industry? aav a buy?

Q: I know these two companies vary a lot in price but wondering which one would me make the most money in my TFSA

Q: Hello 5i. I am curious as to what your assessment of XBCs valuation is today based on how the year ended and recent guidance? Will the December report be revised in light of new information?

Q: With dividends paid to date, I will end up about even if I sell today. Should I hold for BAM's final offer to be accepted, or head for the exit now?

Q: Do you think the dip post earnings represents a good entry point for LULU?

Q: Hi, are there any stocks, ETFs or a vehicle on TSX that provides exposure to Etherium? Thanks.

Q: Was this addition to your growth portfolio on Apri1 a April fool joke?
This is a very speculative penny stock being pushed by Reddit.
Maybe you should start a new portfolio for speculative growth companies such as Mrs and other small companies in your growth portfolio such as Xbc etc.

Q: Big decline after latest Q.Has since recovered some with a big day on Apr 1.3% position on pp of $174.Add,hold or sell.Please advise & update on the co. Thanks for u usual great services & views.Happy Easter. Keep safe

Q: Referring to what Ed is saying as accounting beefs on 4/1, with iTrade in the last couple of years they list all the stocks you have sold (Canadian and U.S.) and what you have paid for them (even if they were bought years ago - they have that info.) and they send a copy to the CRA and a copy to the customer. The commissions are already factored in, they are added onto a buy and subtracted from a sell. The tax accountant does not seem to have any trouble getting FX rate as I believe there is a blended rate available at tax time that can be used rather than having to backtrack to find the applicable rate of all stocks bought prior to 2020, etc.

Q: This etf seems well (but not too) diversified. It has gone up 11% since I bought it not that long ago. I do not own a full position and would like to add some units. Is it buyable at current price? Thanks, Bill

Q: Good Afternoon and Happy Easter:
I was surprised with your answer to Keith's question (Apr 2) regarding order to dispose stocks. You indicated that after the ETFs, KXS would be the 4th or so stock to sell from the list. This was ahead of AC:CA, WELL:CA and PHO:CA. I thought the recent drop in KXS was primarily due to the general pullback in tech stocks and not the result of any specific company bad news. I also thought that even though the company did well during the lockdown, its business model and market position would also serve it well as the economy recovers, perhaps even better than some of the other stocks listed. Please elaborate on your reasoning especially vis a vis the other 3 named stocks above. Thank you, Ian

Q: Hey guys,

ARK invest just recently released there new ARKX ETF. I have been waiting for a while for it to be released. What are your guys general opinion about this ETF. Would you guys be okay with taking a small position in this.

With ARK's recent performance when you be a little skeptical with taking a position in todays market?

Thanks

Q: Hi guys. I know I’ve harped on this before. When you have a newsletter with thousand of subscribers and you reccomend illiquid stocks it creates frustration with your readers.
For instance with mrs an opening position for me wound be $50000 which is fully half the volume on Thursday. If I put in a market order which I wouldn’t I alone would drive the price up by @approx 20%.
How do readers like me get to participate? Especially on the Venture?

Sheldon
