Investment Q&A

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

Q: I suppose you are now used to your subscribers thinking you have the answer to absolutely everything financial and often otherwise. It's partially your own fault because you do such a good job of replying to the questions. So let me join the club of way-out speculators seeking your views on this headline in the Financail Post today:

CRTC expands ruling to allow smaller internet providers access to Bell and Telus fibre networks

Can you put your gage on this throbbing issue and speculate on the financial impact on the two internet service providers?

Many thanks.

Q: I was on the verge of selling CAE until seeing that it had taken a recent jump in price in the last couple of days.

Could this mean the company's promise is finally coming to some fruition?

Would you recommend continuing with selling it as part of a portfolio clean-up or waiting and seeing if there is renewed hope on the horizon for this company?

Thanks as always.

Q: Hello 5i,

We sold two stocks that had were poor performers but they improved in the past few months in our RRSP. Can you rank the following stocks to purchase if we were to initiate a 1/4 position today for a 5-year hold? Our intention is to start 2 or 3 positions to see where they go, and add funds to the best two over time.
Would the ranking be the same for a TFSA or non-reg account?

Thank you
D&J

Q: Hello 5i Team

1 - HBB

Global X's webpage for Global X Canadian Select Universe Bond Index Corporate Class ETF (HBB) lists the following fees:

Management Fee - 0.09 % + applicable sales tax
Management Expense Ratio - 0.10 %
Trading Expense Ratio - 0.15 %
Swap Fee - No more than 0.15 %

Therefore are the maximum total fees that I would pay for HBB as follows:

Management Expense Ratio + Trading Expense Ratio + Swap Fee

0.10 % + 0.15 % + 0.15 % = 0.40 %

2 - HSAV

As HSAV is also a corporate class fund why would Global X not list a swap fee for HSAV?

Thanks
