Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
I have a bit of cash in an account that very closely tracks the "Balanced Equity Portfolio". My weightings in GUD and CLS are a bit light now due to their share's pulling back. Both stocks look cheap to me and tax loss selling season is likely helping to suppress them. I would appreciate your opinion of adding to these two names. Thank you for your sage advice. DL

Q: Regarding Sprott Asset management inc purchasing CEF.A and common shares. A quick reading of the plan of arrangement seems to indicate that in the default option (do nothing) CEF.A units will be converted to trust units of the new entity (SII ?) on a one to one basis, and that no payment will be made to CEF.A units owners. Is this a correct interpretation ?

Q: A Money Saver Magazine had a interesting article (Richard Morrison, July August 2017) regarding that you should invest in places that you would be willing to live and places with low corruption. Denmark #1, New Zealand, Singapore,Sweden and Switzerland were among countries with the higher scores ahead of Canada #8 and the United States #18. Dividend yields are over 4% on the New Zealand and Switzerland etfs and company holding appear solid.

Are there any countries around the world that you are most bullish on and would you comfortable investing in the above etfs say 10-20% of a portfolio of a 30 something year old?
