Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Peter
What do you think of the new equal weight European ETF ."EQE"
Looks like Europe's version of the U.S. S&P 500 ETF "SPY"
Best time to buy is when it's low.... Europe will eventually start growing again.

Q: I have an existing bond allocation in ZAG in registered accounts. However, in order to maintain an appropriate asset allocation I need to start holding fixed income in a corporate cash account. Do you have any concerns using HBB for this purpose (e.g. size, liquidity, etc)?

Q: Good Morning

According to my broker's website IPL insiders performed the following transactions on December 31, 2018:

NATURE OF TRANSACTION SECURITY PRICE
Rights Exercise Rights Restricted Share Units $19.18

Over 140,000 share units were involved

Can you please explain as to what these transactions are all about ? Are they rights not exercised? Further are these transactions positive with respect to the activities of the insiders?

In general what is your opinion with respect to the activities of the IPL insiders?
Thank you as always for your insight.

Q: Follow up.....is it better to just sell and wait to re-enter when things get better? Are you planning in taking it out of the portfolio?
Thx!

Q: Hi guys
I have held Lassonde for a long time and done very well, but the past year has not been kind to the stock price. And then there is this recent profit warning. I have not issue being patient if this is a blip but wonder whether this is the start of a trend with trade issues and people turning away from fruit juices. Your thoughts on this profit warning and this company going forward. By the way thank you so very much for bringing CSU to my attention as it has gone up exponentially since your recommendation many years ago. I harvested a bit of my profits today to bring the holding back to 5%.
Thanks
Stuart

Q: Do you see any reason for the large decrease in share

price for Reliq after naming an advisory board ?

Q: With recent happenings on ATZ would you consider this a buy, sell, or hold point now?? It would seem that company fundamentals are still good so would you expect share value to bounce back and even improve since ATZ is buying back many of their own shares??

Q: Hi Team,

Could I have your opinion on why GUD has been down lately?
Is it based on a news or data ? or just a sentiment? Is it a good time to buy?

Q: My last Crius Energy dividend was paid January 15th for shares recorded on Dec. 31. Will the final June 17 dividend be for five months to May 31 ( unless the deal closes earlier)?.
Today's bump was a nice surprise. If the other bidder folds, is there a chance the price will revert to $7.57 or is $8.80 a solid bid?
Thanks.

Q: Is viavi, the old JDSU, at the forefront of 5G? Lots of good news from the company and the stock hit a new high today. When they split into two companies, Lumentum did great but Viavi went nowhere. How are they positioned now?

Q: Are the two companies competing against each other ? Which of the two do you prefer for stability and growth?

Q: Hi team,

This is my first non-tech question in quite a while. I try to balance my tech stocks with some names in other sectors. CF came to my attention today from a TD report. It is on one of my watch lists but I haven’t followed it closely in a couple of years. TD gives it a Buy, Higher Risk rating with a target of $9.50 although I don’t find target prices very meaningful. Part of their rationale is CF’s recent purchase of U.S.-based advisory firm Petsky Prunier, who focus on mid-market segments and have a growing presence in the cannabis space for IPOs and mergers in the U.S. CF itself seems to have a strong presence in cannabis deals in Canada and potentially internationally. The cannabis segment is here to stay, regardless of the high valuations. I am not a weed guy as such, but if CF can continue to grab a good chuck of these deals, it may bode well for it.

What are the pros and cons of an investment in CF at this time? I notice you gave it a B- in your Company report last August, which is not a strong grade, but perhaps things have changed.

Thanks again.
Dave
