Investment Q&A

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

Q: Just to follow up my previous question on market makers, would an iceberg order be a way around? BTW I don't do big orders, just smallish board lots, so the m.m. must think that's worthwhile for him too.

Q: I have Level 2 trading access on Toronto so I can see where the orders stack up. I want to know how what is probably the market maker, in this case National Bank Financial, sees my order coming in and jumps ahead to be first in line?
Is there a way around this annoying practice?

Q: its very interesting that tsgi is merging with this flutter group at about 28. a share.
i sold my tsgi shares over a year ago.
but really this is a horrible deal, what about all the shareholders who bought between 28 and 50 that are still holding it.
its really only a good deal if you bought at 19-20 and i am not sure there are many of those.
even your portfolio exited long ago.i get it we were all in early with amaya but still this deal stinks.

Q: You've commented favourably about LIF several times earlier this year. Since then it's dropped like a stone. Given it's record of conservative management would you still recommend it? Do you see these moves as reactions (or over reactions)to events in China as well as their trade situation with the US? My understanding is that they produce high quality pellets that command a higher price on the market. This may insulate them somewhat from global events but there may also be material supply problems like Vale resuming production in Brazil.
I'd be interested to hear your take on this. I like the way you stand by your recommendations if you still believe in them or kick them to the curb in a second if you don't.

Q: Good afternoon,

I need to diversified investments from the Finance sector, which I am little bit over expose. I have no investment in the Material sector. This is in my RRSP Portfolio and the investment will not exceed 5% of my total portfolio. I am a long term investor and looking mainly for income. Which of these two companies do you recommend Chemtrade or Labrador Iron Ore?

Thank you.

Q: Dear 5i,
I am interested in speculating on this company with $1,000 to $2,000 which I am prepared to lose. Should I purchase this in my TFSA or NonReg account so I can use the tax loss if necessary? Can you explain your rationale for choosing one account over the other. I purchased Prometics awhile back and it did not turn out well. Would you say "ATE" has the same risk level as PLI?

thanks

Q: While the conversion may improve marketability and market value, won't it reduce distributions by virtue of tax at the issuer level? As a retiree holding in a RRIF and relying on cash distributions, I am concerned. By reason of tax, is the following statement correct (which you quoted): "it will not result in any underlying change to aggregate cash flows"?

Q: Hi 5i
Recently sept 17/2019 NMX announced a court application for discharge of security securing $350M senior secured bonds...later sept 25/2019 they announced that they had received notice from Nordic Trustee AS regarding the $350M senior secured bonds and the passing of a bond holder resolution to refrain from the bond prepayment. Could you briefly explain what all this means and is this a negative for the stock or not? Does this affect the hopefully eventual completion/financing of the project?
Thx as usual for your help.
