Investment Q&A

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

Q: Just wondering if the next step in website improvements would be to post the real time share prices for stocks in our watchlist much the same as the globe investor website. I have used this site for many years for this purpose however over time they have reduced the amount of information you can get on any particular company. I would much rather pay you the fee as your service is far superior to the information that they offer.

Thanks

Q: I received e-mails offering me two Preferred Shares: Pembina Pipeline Corp. 5.75% Rate Reset Preferred Shares Class A, Series 13; and, Brookfield Office Properties Inc. 6.00% Minimum Rate Reset Class AAA Preference Shares, Series CC. They both have juicy yields and are tempting to purchase for income. The high yields are the upside, I would appreciate it if you could provide me with the downside to buying these shares in an income portfolio. Would it be best to simply buy CPD? Thank you.

Q: Hello Peter and 5i:
NXE (Uranium exploration and development) has had a nice rise in the last few months, with a reasonably smooth equity curve. I purchased some this morning and a few hours later - Ouch! it was hit by a ?bad drilling report and the price dropped over 8% for the day! Is this a buy, hold, or sell? Your comments will be appreciated!

Thanks!
Ken from Ottawa

Q: Hi all at 5i! Could you please explain to me the concept of " dumb money"? I gather it refers to us retail investors...the ones that are not large enough to influence the markets and have no insider information to get ahead of the game. There has been a lot of commentary from some investment companies and bearish investment advisors , that the smart money is leaving stocks and the dumb money is piling in. I guess that is me since I am selectively adding stocks. Again, is this concept of dumb money fear mongering or just a label given to us little guys by some financial smarty pants? Do you agree ,that as little guys,we should just stick to our investment plans and ignore the negative labelling. Your thoughts on the matter would be welcomed. Cheers, Tamara
