Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello Peter / Ryan
Generally speaking, is there anything out there that really worries you about the way the economy is currently or where it is headed ? On the whole, you seem optimistic / upbeat and I'm wondering what it takes to shake you up and make you nervous. Just curious.

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
I am interested in purchasing the Vanguard Global Active ETF's, VLQ, VMO, VVO and VVL but, I am concerned with the low average trading volumes. I calculated the average daily trading volumes to range between approx. 500 [VLQ] to 5,000 shares[VVL]. I would like to purchase/sell at least 100 shares at a time to justify the 9.95 commission. Will I likely be influencing the stock price because of the low volumes? Is the Vanguard Canada published Premium/Discount data for these ETF's in line with most commonly traded ETF's?

Thanks

Q: I have read all of the answers regarding Namaste and it does not seem that you find it very attractive;however, given the latest announcements on the medical and the recreational side, do you now feel it has good potential from here. The company seems to be landing good agreements for distribution and their medical side seems interesting. My only concern is what stops the big players from replicating their model? Thanks

Q: I am adjusting my portfolio and would like your guidance in deciding how much to allocate to each sector in this environment. My portfolio would be aggressive growth and I have no need to withdraw in the foreseeable future.

Q: Thinking of selling altagas. Concerned about dividend at 2.19 or about 9% with earnings at about .89 for 2018 and about 1.30 projected 2019.
Hear not favorable comments on BNN but read what I believe favorable as investment with you.
Can't see dividend remaining sustainable. What am I missing is this worth hanging on. Appreciate your comments. Thanks

Q: There is only cash available in a LIRA, aka no cash in a non-registered account or TFSA.
At the same time, I would like to invest in three new positions - MG, TFII and WSP for a balanced portfolio. I have read in the past 5iR thought it preferable to hold MG in a non-registered account because of the cyclicality of the business but that if held in a registered account, then might want to trade around the cycles. I would like your take of holding these three companies in a LIRA that will start to be drawn down in about 2 years but will span, hopefully with good ageing, many years.....Thanks....Tom
