Investment Q&A

Q: First I have to say thank you! My RRIF and TFSA are certainly healthier due to info gained from 5i over the past couple of years.
My questions pertain to my Rif where I have recently inherited 2 mutual funds; Dynamic 1560 Strategic Yield Fund and Dynamic 031 Global Dividend Fund (mers 2.15-2.23%). The remainder of the Rif is comprised of Canadian stocks; old TSX 60 stalwarts and/or stocks from your income or balanced portfolios. The Dynamic funds each account for approximately 20% of the total Rif and around 13% of total investments.
Questions
1. Are there better ETFs/Funds you would suggest for exposure to US and global markets?
2. What is a reasonable weight for an individual ETF/fund within a portfolio?
3. What is a reasonable percent of one's portfolio to allocate to US markets? and to global markets?
TIA
(Good to see Peter on BNN yesterday.)

Q: I am looking at these two companies (one or both) for my TFSA which I use for my more aggressive investments. I believe the sport gambling and the e-gaming sectors offer explosive growth but there of course will be winners and losers. They both have big name backers.
Your opinion ( financial strength, management, etc. )of these two would be appreciated. Do you like either or both? Any other favourite Canadian alternatives ? Thanks
Derek

Q: Would you consider DIV a solid play as we progress through vaccine talks for a recovery?

Q: I am in my early 80's ,have large capital gains and plan to stay invested in equities as my parents lived to over be over 100.
I believe that the capital gains inclusion rate will be increased to 75% as early as December 31,2021 which is 50 years since the capital gains tax originated.
As a result I intend to begin selling the equities with the largest gains with a view of buying a portion of them back after leaving enough in cash to cover the tax.
Can I repurchase the same day or do I have to wait until after the date of settlement?

Q: Is ATS Automation a good long term hold?

Q: Is there a great deal of difference between ayx and pltr in terms of what they do?
How much does ayx deserve to be in the penalty box for their recent results/outlook? You seem to have cooled off on this name considering recent answers.
Thanks

Q: Hello Folks:
I owned Costco for a number of years, however moved into Loblaw as Costco has become so expensive. Costco continues moving higher while Loblaw remains stagnant. Is it unreasonable to switch back to Costco, or are there better options?
Thank you for your good service!

Q: What is your opinion of ARK Innovation ETF. Is now a good entry point if you think it is a good investment

Q: I sold a put, $44.00 strike price, expires April 16, 2021. Was wondering how WFT takeover will affect my option?

Q: What do you think of Metro now and what do you think about the results just announced?

Q: I’m looking for a low fee ETF for emerging markets, but which excludes China. Can you offer any suggestions? Thanks!

Q: What can we expect from real matters.Thanks

Q: I own a full position in FTNT and in RPD in a registered account. The holding is for 10 years +++ Would you be inclined to switch one of the two for CRWD , which one and why? There would be no fees associate to the trade (no tax implication and trading fees are not significative relative to the size of the position)
if not, why?

Q: What is your opinion of this ETF is the hype of its expected growth over rated? Cheers

Q: Guest on BNN yesterday did not having anything nice to day about KXS while 5iresearch likes it a lot. Would it be a good time to buy back shares I sold o er $200, or buy GSY which I have hesitated for a long time?

Q: Would like your opinion for 3 Can and 3 US value stocks with a decent dividend which might have some growth in the next 3 years.
Thanks
Jeff

Q: With the increase in price of KXS,DSG, SHOP, REAL and LSPD I now have a total of 23% of my portfolio in these shares. I have taken profits and reduced my position each of them. The only concerns I have going forward is with KXS and DSG. Ross Healy on BNN did not have a very Rosie picture for KXS. I know that different views is what makes a market. You continue to be much more positive on KXS and continue to recommend it. DSG andKXS are somewhat similar. I respect your opinion, would you recommend selling either one? If so which? I view many of these guest as having a person interest in recommendations. I always take them with a grain of salt. I have seen this in my previous life while working for a major investment firm.

Q: Hi guys

I have been looking at Jamieson for a while as I like their products. Just wondering the amount of insider ownership is, what your opinion of their management team is, and at this price ($34.81) point, given their expected growth, whether you see this as a decent entry point.

Thanks so much

Stuart

Q: Peter was on BNN and recommended above two stocks. I am planning to invest these two stocks. Should I step in with full position at this price?

Thanks,

Q: This question is about MTRX or Loop Insights on the TSXV. It doesn't seem to be in your system when I entered the ticker.

Loop Insights is getting a lot of chatter amongst the self-directed crowd on Reddit and the stock price is rocketing up accordingly.

Is this company legitimate? Is there great potential here? Or is the stock price a pump?
