Investment Q&A

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

Q: Peter,

There seems to be some love returning to the beleagured Canadian small/micro cap stocks. Given how much they have declined, it looks like there is decent upside if the recovery continues.

On this note, do you see STC as a name that has not yet joined the party (with PAY, NVEI, LSPD, DTOL, DCBO, etc., already on the move) and has some decent potential here?

What would be your top three picks in this space at this time?

Thanks for your outstanding service,

David

Q: Peter; The perennial “ bear”, aka Rosenberg, basically just trashed the BOC last rate bump, saying the 2% level , they want is there. Could you comment on whether you agree or don’t and why ? Thanks.

Q: These covered call, leveraged ETFs seem to be very popular right now. Fees seem to be high in general on these funds, 2-2.5%. Horizon just introduced a suite of ETFs including the above 2 which I am interested in. They are funds of their own funds and usually products like this waive the management fee of the underlying fund. Do you know if this is the case for these 2?
I’m hoping Horizons large scale will allow them to keep their fees under control.

Q: After reading your past replies to questions regarding STM, I wonder if you can update your opinion based on news and events since your replies in March and May? The price is higher now but have you also seen increased reasons for investors to look at this? Would it be a worthy buy today or something to wait on and buy only in the event of a pullback?

Assuming you like it, could you compare and contrast the risk and reward between this and something like SMCI? Which would you expect to do better and why?

Thanks

Q: Hi All at 5i! I own both of these stocks and now having broken even I would like to sell them. Do you think they have strong potential growth?? If so I may reconsider. If not, could you suggest some good solid US alternatives … not necessarily proxies.
Thank you,
Tamara

Q: If you had to invest today with a 3 - 5 year horizon in the consumer discretionary space which one are you taking? Its also ok to say either or if that how you feel - I can buy both.

I just need a little more weighting in this sector and am waiting for your response!

Thanks for the many years of guidance! Member since the beginning!
