Investment Q&A

Q: We have sold out of USA Tech and have several full positions of USA $ in registered accounts. I no longer wish to devote as much attention to investments.
We know that USA is not your forte but could you recommend a couple of dividend paying "layups". Buy it and forget it ? We acknowledge that nothing is a sure thing.
Thanks for Your help

Q: Hi Team
I have a corporate non-registered account I have started 4 months ago with a time frame of 5 years. Not worried about risk / sector (fairly diversified already) even though it is a corporate account (I keep enough cash in the account if needed so would not have to withdrawal). Looking to add 2 of the above stocks now. I will be adding every 4 - 6 months or so moving forward so I could add the others later. Do you have an order of preference.

Q: Hi 5iTeam,
I noticed that when the markets pulled back in early to mid March this year, both bond ETFs: XLB (approx. -28%) and XSB (approx -9%), pulled back as well although there were no movements in interest rates. I would think that these bond ETFs are a good proxy for cash, then what would investors' reason be for selling? Your comments on this would be much appreciated.
Cheers,

Q: Hi 5i Team - I have been reading an article in the Globe and Mail about the resurgence of investor interest in the biotech sector with a number of IPO's either recent or planned. Would you be able to recommend a few Canadian companies in this sector based on the following criteria: solid management, cash reserves for at least one year and preferably more, manageable debt, good growth prospects, any size capitalization but small to mid cap preferred, any risk level but not something that is purely speculative. These companies do not have to be on the forefront of Coronavirus research but could have innovative research into any health platforms. I am also interested in the U.S. side of this but will do this in another question. Thanks.
Rob
