Investment Q&A

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

Q: ETF Short list: - - I have been wandering through considerable posts on ETF's here and in other areas online for some weeks now, and trying to formulate a clear short list of best in class ETF's, but more specifically, the BEST TIME/SCENARIO to move INTO and OUT of each one of them for income, growth and security of capital. There are so many market areas they cover and such diverse offerings that a concise summary would be very helpful. Does anyone have anything like this already that they would be willing to share? Thanks in advance.

Q: What is your opinion on TS.B (Torstar) It pays a very hefty dividend of almost 10% which is not always good. Seems to be in a dying industry but Fairfax bought into it a while back.

Thanks as always.

Q: Hi to everyone at 5i

I must echo everyone else's sentiments as to the incredible value of this service.

I particularly like the idea of investing in infrastructure assets that are located not only in Canada but elsewhere around the globe. I have been researching both BIP.UN and BGI.UN; my understanding is that BIP.UN directly owns infrastructure assets whereas BGI.UN invests in publicly traded global companies that hold such assets

Would you prefer to own the assets directly or indirectly? Or would it be wise to diversify with a position in each. I have no particular investments of this type except for a small position in Altagas and I have a long-term hold objective.

Thank you.

Q: Can you please give your opinion on Dundee International REIT (TSX: DI.UN)?

Do you see any major risks out there? In particular, how do you feel about the interest rate risks and the foreign exchange risks given that almost 100% of their portfolio is based in Germany which is Euro-denominated?

Q: BBD.A Bombardier I know you are not particular about this stock (tried looking up past comments BBD.A but search was empty -- not sure why). But looking at various parts of the air industry it seems everything has been on a tear. Cyclically speaking do think this an interesting time for air industry? If so, why would BBD.A be the one to avoid?

Q: Hi Peter, I have set aside a downpayment for a future home purchase in the next 6-12 months, and rather than earning 1% in a 'high interest' savings account, what would you recommend I do with the cash? Obviously I would want this cash to be safe, but at the same time earn a higher return than simply parking it in a savings account. Thanks

Q: Hi,

Do you think the hype around 3D companies is justified. Are companies DDD and SSYS good buys even at these inflated P/E multiples. What do you think about this industry 2 years down the road. Thanks

Q: Hi guys. I know so little about individual US stocks I've pretty much decided to go with ETFs. Along with an S&P ETF, which sectors do you think I should look at for the near future? I currently own RHS, IHI, and XTN.
