Q: Hello Peter,
With Xebec's bought deal at $5.80 per share with latest acquisition of Hygear, why are investors paying over $7 today? What am I missing? Would green renewables be a good bet given what is happening to Xebec? Also, why is Score dipping given the positive news on its outlook. Also, is good natured products a stock worth dipping into ? Thanks very much.

Q: Hi 5i,
I am looking for the best options for gaining CAD-denominated exposure to the major companies in the chips/semis space. What might be the best ETF options and what would be their proportion of exposure to that sub-sector? If not ETFs, might there be a more effective way of obtaining the desired exposure while staying in CAD? I’ll mention that I already have positions in PHO and STC, although obviously they are not quite the order of companies I’d be targeting with this question. Thanks!

Q: Down 30% . Bought in September because of strong Real Estate market. Good financials of the company.
Reasons for market sell-off: My assumptions are that people are taking profits, some are selling into tax loss season and others over fear of the raging pandemic south of the border and what that might do to the US economy for the next year or so.
Finally there is perhaps, a few dollars of downside left to go including any chance for a Santa Clause rally before any chance of recovery.
What is your educated estimate of the situation and likely future scenario? Sorry for being long-winded. Stephen S

Q: Hi Peter

To follow up on my earlier question, I forgot to mention that both my wife and I are planning to retire in 5 years. So, I am slowly changing my investments to be income focused and less on capital growth
