Q: Hello, Happy New Year. What are your thoughts on ALGN? I am down by 50% on this investement from a 40% profit not long ago..I could hold this for the long term or move on to something like JPM(sector not a concern) and this is held in a registered account. Thanks.

Q: Conservative, retired investor who loves dividends. I am normally a buy and hold investor, who trims-adds around core positions. I have a 3% position in ZWE. I've owned it since Oct '17 and am down 8%, including the dividends. So capturing some capital losses is an option.

Two questions...#1 is regarding the currency hedge. Normally I like the hedge product, since it takes some of the risk out of the investment. Your thoughts of keeping ZWE vs switching to an unhedged version, based on your "currency" crystal ball?

#2 is regarding the prospects for securities within ZWE and the current turmoil in the EU (Brexit, etc.). Has the market already priced in a lot of this turmoil? Should I consider adding or should I accept this is one of those investments that just did not work out and take my losses?

Thanks...Steve

Q: Is this Stock ever going to go up in price , I have had this stock for a very long time their seams to be all kinds of reasons it is not move a great amount is this a dead horse .

Q: In view of today’s PR, do you think they take 10m, or go to trial ? If a new trial moves forward, this could drag 2 + years and no guarantee they would get more money, do I read this right ? The stock is down today, so investors did not like the PR.
What’s your take on it ?
Thanks

Q: Is there any news today on LB. The stock is up and on BIG volume?

Q: I like Morguard's distribution, at over 8%. It seems to be fairing well lately, especially in comparison to almost everyone else (CAR and IIP.UN, your preferences in REITs are down 5-6% while MRT is up 7.82%). What do you think of it, and its prospects? Is the distribution safe? Is MRT likely to be needing cash soon? It's up strongly on a strongly down day, which is one of the things I look for in 'safer' stocks.

Q: Happy New Year to all
Is it possible that TSGI could double in a year? And GC as well? Or are your comments about them being favorites saying that growth is there but relative only to the volatility and weakness of other stocks.?? I realise this is a tough call...
Thank you

Q: I'm considering buying HSPX. Doing my research I understand that their strategy is to write out of the money calls which if I'm not mistaken gives more upside to a covered call ETF. Is this both true and a correct assumption ? And also my TD Waterhouse quote shows a yield of 9.5% but when checking various other sites I see from 5% to 7%. What is the real annual yield ? And what is your opinion on this ETF in general ? Thanks Garth.

Q: Hi Group - assuming this market stays choppy and unpredictable it appears the the tech sector may be a good start to generating some cash (I have profits in CSU + DSG + a loss in FB - My question is do I sell now hoping to buy back later a lower price - presently I only have 5% cash in a portfolio worth $1.2 million and am feeling very vulnerable to losing more (presently I am down 18% overall. Is it too late to preserve cash or?

Q: I have 11% ZLU, 19% CDZ, 50% SDY, !% VWO, 15% VEA and 3% CGL in a RIF. I need to sell $12K from a RIF. Is there something you would recommend selling, or just move in kind?

Q: I am mid 60's retired for 10 years and living off our diminishing nest egg. We each about $20k of room in our TFSA's and my question is. Should we transfer $40k out of an RRSP into our TFSA's at this time. We will need the funds to live on over the next year so given we will have to pay the tax anyway and markets are low at this time when a recovery takes place we may save the tax on any capital gains. sage advice please.

Q: Good morning Everyone at 5i! ABM Industries (US) came across my computer screen and I was wondering what you thought of it as a long term, steady , slow growth , good value ,dividend paying stock worthy of investing in? Cheers, Tamara

Q: Hi Guys. BNP Paribas
I think its one of Frances largest publicly traded banks. It has a pretty good track record of being profitable, has a pretty broad product line, Insurance, wealth management etc, pays a good dividend, looks reasonably valued.
Would you feel this is a safe investment at this price for a long term hold, and is there a risk of it getting hammered even more like the U.S. banks did in 2008.
thanks Gord
