Q: I've just sold my house, and the cheque has been deposited into my Investorline non-registered account. Not quite sure what to do with it for the next few months. I've read the comments on PSA, and you've suggested money market funds too. I don't know anything much about them - is that something you buy online, or through Investorline? What would be your recommendation?
Thank you

Q: Re the massive purchase last week by Softbank of call options of tech stocks which your message says caused the sudden price ramp up in the market, and led investors to rapidly sell once they found out about the Softbank purchase (and it seem are still vigorously selling), can you suggest a way to avoid the big losses that rookie investors like me have been having as a result? I was thinking about how to communicate such qualitative information, since most investors are aware of the quantitative info sources. Could you consider adding a market barometer that becomes active when such significant events occur with maybe a couple bullet points to explain the rise or fall ? In any case, your good advice remains exceptional and many in my category are much further ahead because of it.
Q: Hi team
I have held this for years, not going anywhere, lost some money
would you say that Europe could do better next year ?
or the Brexit and the Cov-19 is making the economic prediction worse in
the next 12-24 months ?
I could replace it with one of the Mawer International funds which I have
thanks
Michael

Q: In an earlier question, you answered that you’re not a fan of buying options. Was that specific to short-term options? What’s your opinion on long-term call options as a buy-and-hold strategy (i.e. rolling LEAPS forever)? Thanks.

Q: We have 300K which we want to use to build a portfolio of Canadian dividend payers in an open account.
This forms a significant chunk of our semi retirement portfolio. We have growth stocks in registered accounts and also some cash in a HISA.
1. Would you think that 10 companies offers sufficient diversification?
2. Which companies would you recommend? (we are thinking 2 x financials, 2 x telecoms, 2 x utilities, 1 or 2 materials, 1 or 2 energy)
3. Over what time frame would you recommend purchasing these companies? (TD charges me $10 a trade)
Thank-you,
Jim and Sharon

Q: Hello team,
A glance at the yield in the BP last month indicated 1.66%. Obviously that number would have been higher had CAE, GIL not cut their dividends and Suncor reduced theirs.
Is this yield in line with the guidelines that 5i uses for this portfolio? Or does one need to adjust to the new reality post pandemic of lower rates for longer?
Additionally, the BP currently has 7 stocks with no dividend and 3 others (Boyd, CSU, ATD) with a smallish dividend. While I get that these stocks would be considered growth stocks, at what point does one get concerned with the likes of CAE, GC, GUD, SU and GIL who have seen a sustained destruction in share price? Thanks in advance.
