Q: Hi, my kids are 12 and 14. They are both avid savers and my wife and I regularly talk to them about investing and long term planning. Recently they have both read “The Richest Man in Babylon”. This has gotten them excited to really start investing. What do you see as the easiest and most effective way for minors to hold stocks? They’re RESPs are already filled and invested every year so that’s not an option for more.

Thanks

Q: On March 15 Shopify had a huge surge up to 5,849,405 shares traded. For 30 days around this date the shares traded ranged between a guess of about 300,000 and 400,000. I am curious about the 15th. was this institutional buying. I also wonder why such a huge buy did not seem to effect the market price.
Trying to understand these things, Thank you for your insight every day.

Q: Let's assume a recession is in the near future (so-called indicated by the inverted yield curve ..well maybe..)...which one of these two portfolios would fair better in your opinion and why. It's been awhile since we've been in one and I cant remember how these sectors acted back then .Not worried about concentration as either group would only make of a small portion of the overall equity/fixed income holdings..
#1 holds utilities ,industrials ,financials and energy stocks.
#2 holds consumer cyclicals , healthcare , tech , basic materials stocks.
Preservation of capital and income are main concerns.

Q: Crius shareholders have agreed to the takeover offer. The current market price is only slightly less than the takeover price. Since Crius went ex-dividend on March 25 is there any reason to hang on to the stock until the actual takeover date? Is there another dividend on closing?
