Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: If considering buying a stock such as CSU, which is obviously very expensive, if due to portfolio sizing etc, the number of shares you should purchase is say 5-10, is that a sign that you should be investing in ETF rather than shares, due to the commission per share etc, or just consider the underlying $ value of the investment and no worries.

Q: Can you provide any information on Cielo Waste Solutions? Would this be investible or is it a high risk/stay away from stock?

Q: A question about the casino company Game Host. My father's sold his Cineplex position and his looking for another stock with (1) a high yield (2) a monthly dividend. His bonds are not paying enough. With oil back over 60$, do you think that Game Host properties should see better traffic soon? We don't hope for capital appreciation, but want a balance sheet that has more chance to improve than weaken. Thank you!

Q: I own SDY in New York: an ETF that holds companies that buy back their shares. This ETF has done very well. I found the TSX index on companies trading on the TSX that buy back shares - the symbol is TXBB and this index has substantial outperformed the TSX over the past 10 years. But TXBB only lists the 50 companies with the highest buy backs. Where can I find a complete list of all companies trading on the TSX that buy back shares? Also, is there an EFT equivalent to SDY that holds companies trading on the TSX that buy back shares?
Thanks
Michael

Q: This is a question about stop loss as a tool.
When you look at bid ask just before the open sometimes you see a bid way below the last trade the day before. Sometimes the last trade the day before may be 90 and the morning premarket bid ask 70 / 91
If I had a 85 stop loss , even though the bid is unrealistic would I be sold out at 85
Thanks
And best of the holiday season to all of 5i and your family

Q: Looking at one/both of these for a TFSA. Could you comment on their competitive advantage - if any. Other issues that would concern you ? If you were to put a 5i rating on them for the Growth Portfolio, can you take a stab at what that might be ?
The 3 smallest positions in my TFSA are MCR, PHO, and LSPD, (I also hold a full position in Shop) . Would increasing those be preferable ?
