Investment Q&A

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

Q: The CEO/founder has applied to put all of his 52% ownership of the company up for sale. I understand insiders selling a part of their shares, but I've never come across selling all of them. My first thought is some company disaster, but I imagine, in that scenario, an insider would feed them slowly into the market to avoid suspicion. Your opinion please.

Q: Most of REITs are down sharply today, any particular reasons for that? Under current disinflationary backdrop, I think defensive sectors should be outperforming, so except REITs, any other recommendation to buy/hold for now? Thanks!

Q: Hi there,

Given the general long term trend of better managing our waste, i have been looking at this company to add to my us portfolio. I already own Waste Management which has been a very steady eddy over several years but understand it can be economically sensitive. What do you think of CVA and does it have the same economically sensitivity.

Thanks

Q: Just a comment. When I search questions on HUT (HUT8 the bitcoin minor). The horizons etf comes up instead. I think you might need to differentiate the symbols on these two.

Q: Hello,

A recent answer mentioned no-fee GIC's. I'm puzzled. We have several GIC's and with various companies. The yearly statements we now get from our advisor (statements that are supposed to be more transparent about fees) says every one pays a fee to our advisor. The GIC rates are net of these fees of course but, in my opinion, these are fees and all are pretty big percentages when compared against the net GIC pay-out. Your thoughts? Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i team, thanks for your information on beating estimates or not . I just want to see how volatile the short term price action is as it can move up or down in the 10, 15% range. How do you define profit taking as stock price drop ? Is there a maximum % drop before it is not profit taking ? Thanks.

Q: I currently owned both CM , TD and ZBK in a non rrsp account. I would like to sell CM. My total % holding in ZBK and TD are quite low . If I buy ZBK I still maintain the financial allocation but increase my US holding. I know I would lose the dividend that CM pay as ZBK is quite low, or would it be better to buy more TD and increase the weight of this stock.

Thanks

Q: High dividend stocks are getting hit today with exception of a couple of pipelines. Has something happened that the market now expects interest rates to move up?? Otherwise why are all these stocks being hit at the same time?
