Investment Q&A

Q: What do you think of Invesco Momentum ETFs in general and which ones would you buy now, in any sector, for good growth in the next couple of year ?
I am looking for some diversification from my ARK ETFs and do you think PTH-Q, PFI-Q, PRN-Q, PSI-N and PDP-Q would achieve the purpose ?
Gratefully yours,

Q: Can you comment on the latest news update on NUVEI? Would you consider it a BUY at the 91/3% decrease drop at the open?
Thank you

Q: Hi guys
I have a small portion (under 2%) of my portfolio in preferred shares (CPD and PPL.PR.M ). I bought these for a safe steady eady type of return but as you know investing in Preferred shares the last few years has felt like a roller coaster. For example PPL.PR.M is still $1 below where I bought it about 5 years ago, and has dropped to as low as $14. So I am wondering why not sell my preferred holdings and just buy more of a nice dividend stock like BCE where I am actually getting 6.2% yield - more than I am getting from my preferred? I know I am further down the chain if the company defaulted but I also get more upside. Your thoughts on selling my preferred holdings and buying some nice safe dividend stocks instead?

Thanks

Stuart

Q: thoughts on the acquisition announced today?

Q: I recently purchased Portfolio Analytics and I'm severely underweight internationally.

For international (excluding US) I am thinking VIU and VEE.

Any suggestions on how I should decide an appropriate weighting ratio of these two? Does it make sense to have equal VIE and VEE... more VIE?

Are there other ETFs I should be considering for international exposure?

And finally, these ETFs would make up a substantial portion of my portfolio. Would you suggest buying in one go or over time and if so what timeframe would you suggest?

Thanks for your service.

Q: Good morning!
I have owned this stock for about 6 months and made money. Over about the last month it has trended down. I still like the stock & there doesn’t seem to be a reason for the sell off. Should I take advantage of the lower price & buy more? Am I missing something?

Q: What do you know of XBC's management? How would you rate them, both excluding what is happening now and including current affairs?

In your report on the company in December 2020, you state:
Management is well-seasoned and has public company experience, including former top executives (CEO, CFO, COO) of various energy and industrial companies like CAE Inc (CAE) and McPhy Energy North America. Have they ever experienced anything like what they are going through with XBC now? How important is the involvement of CDPQ who invested $50M?

5i advanced XBC as a top growth company, as recently as March 10. Your report outlines your reasoning back in 2020. Obviously it's a different picture today. Any lessons learned?
