Investment Q&A

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

Q: What is the reason why DDC has fallen from $24 to $15.40 in 3 months. With the dividend of over 3% and possible recovery in the share price, would this not be a good investment for a 3-4 yr. time frame? What makes the price of diamonds go up?

What should be my strategy here. Should I bail out on these 3, take the hit and invest in some healthcare or technology stock or shoudl I keep holding on and expect they will recover sometime. Please advise.

Q: Douglas Porter suggests (see quote below) that the very weak dollar will cause inflation to rise and consumer spending to fall. In terms of those 2 themes, I am wondering which of the 5i stable of equities you expect to benefit most and least. A couple of examples would be a great help.
Many Thanks
Mike

“As opposed to the somewhat mixed picture for business, there is no ambiguity about how a weaker currency affects Canadian consumers — it is bad news, period,” he says.

“Ironically, a weak currency is probably a bigger risk to Canadian consumers than the perennial bogeyman of record household debt.”

Q: Good day! You are often asked for the names of Canadian stocks that have US exposure so we can take advantage of the US growth/strength but with a Canadian stock...such as BIN & Stella Jones. I wonder if you might be able to provide the names of a few stocks that you like that would provide exposure to Europe. I can think of Dream Global as an example.
Thank you!
