Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am thinking about parking some cash in one or both of these ETF's (perhaps a 50/50 split) for the next 12 months. I understand that rate increases could adversely impact the unit price but given that rates are not expected to increase in Canada anytime soon and these are Canadian corporate bond funds not American would there be any impact from a US rate hike? If so, why? Secondly, what do you think of the downside risk and is there a better option you would suggest.
Thank you

Q: I have notice there is 2 to 3 times volume last week. Is there any news or is it because of interest rate. Will there be any impact if interest rate goes up. Do you think it is time to sell and move to SIA. I am holding both - Csh.un - 5% and Sia - 1%

Thanks a lot

Q: I have 4 companies that make up a significant part of my portfolio (HCG, GIL, ATD.B, SJ). With the exception of HCG I have been trying to sell them at or near 52 week highs. I have been trying to sell them since the beginning of the year and so far I have been unsuccessful. What makes these trades difficult for me is that I would be buying all these companies if I did not own them already. My question is do you use the same approach when selling for portfolio allocation reasons versus fundamental reasons?

Q: After buying CCL.B at $98 less than two years ago, I've just sold off my small position, figuring -- based on my very amateurish technical analysis skills -- that it's in a range of between $180 and $235. I'd like to buy it back again later in the summer. Would you agree or disagree with my thesis, and if you agree, at what price would you put in a standing order? Also, my concern about CCL.B at $235 was the 25 PE multiple my Investorline account shows. I know you like to say "pay up for good companies," but a 25 PE for a label maker?
