Investment Q&A

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

Q: Can you comment on latest press release regarding the Valory option to purchase Summit Coal Inc. From Maxim. It looks like a fantastic deal and a great cash injection for the company. Also can you comment on AI power play opportunity and Alberta jurisdiction opportunities. It looks like a good risk/reward proposition. Maxim Management also looks solid. Am I missing anything.

Q: I purchased these 4-6 months ago thinking I should diversify away from stocks and equity based ETF's. All 3 of them are down (from 3.5% to 8%). While they all pay a healthy dividend (~8% to ~ 18%), I am wondering if I should continue to hold. Can you tell me what it will take to get them improving in value (identify for each). And the likelihood of an improvement in value in the next 6-12 months. As well, if you recommend selling and moving on, in what order would you sell?

Q: You recently answered a question on selling covered call options. Most of the options you sell, I believe you said went out about a month. I imagine these are on volatile stocks. But you said options can be sold on longer time frames. Just wondering which stocks would go with which timeframe. More stable stocks with longer time frames? Just to get an idea, how would stocks such as Google or General Motors fit into an options selling strategy?
Thanks

Q: Hi 5I Team,

What are your thoughts at this time on International Petroleum? With its sustained share buyback program the outstanding float is being constantly reduced. Would this factor make it a compelling investment?

Thanks

Q: Hello,

Given the current price levels of both MRNA and PFE would this be a good time to take position in either one of those? If so which one would you recommend.

Thank you!

Q: I have CAD to invest in Canadian-dollar denominated ETFs: (1) Canadian stocks - VGG. XIU XIC XDIV; (2) US ETFs in CAD FX - HXS ZUQ ZMID and ZBK and (3) - EU ETF - HXX. How to go about assessing one against the other. Is there a better ETF in each group you would prefer? Would appreciate guidance on which ones are keepers for long-term hold? How would you evaluate them?
