Investment Q&A

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

Q: Based on Moez's comments this morning, what are 3 Canadian and 3 US names you would be keen to add to on this sell-off now and/or if it extends lower?

Q: I am largely an income investor and hold the above stocks for their dividends. I am concerned that some of them may have high levels of debt and will be negatively impacted by higher interest rates. Can you advise which are the most and least indebted companies, and whether higher interest charges could threaten their dividends? Thanks.

Q: Hi,

I've got about 6k in my kids' RESP and would like to take advantage of the current market conditions to deploy the cash.

The RESP currently holds BAM (@13%), Sentry US Growth Mutual fund (@ 38%), Invesco Global fund (@30%) with cash making up the difference (@ 20%).

I'd like to add a tech position and would like your opinion on whether to buy a hedged ETF or un-hedged - specifically XQQ or QQQ, or other? This account is a buy and hold with a long term (10 yr +) horizon.

Thx.

Q: Hello 5i Team,

For international emerging market exposure, I hold some funds in the Ishares India Index ETF, which has been brutalized of late, (along with other emerging market equities). I'm slightly above water on this holding at the moment, but the trend line is down. Do you think there is decent chance of recovery in the medium term, or is it time to bail. Thanks.

Brad

Q: It seems like FLOT, MFT have not seen the dramatic price drop as XBB and CBO even though XBB and CBO have the lower yield. Could you comment as to why? For new money in the present market what would you suggest? Thanks for your service.

Q: Does Horizons or similar company have a tax deferred ETF that would be similar to VGG. I understand HXS does for US exposure, though I am interested in one that focuses on dividends which are only taxed as capital gains once the stock is sold. Thank you for your service.

Q: Do you see any bargains in mid-large cap US company. This is for my mother who's 60 and will need to start using her money in 10 years. No tech names (already 20%), maybe more in finance, healthcare, consumers disc. or industrials.
I was thinking of Visa/ MasterCard as an example.
She sold 20% of her portfolio this summer to have cash on hands for a pullback, would you start using it ?
