Investment Q&A

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

Q: With the fall of DR, particularly for income investors, the question is what to do. Michael posed this earlier. What would you advise? You had responded that there is better places to put capital, but such a decline has eroded that capital and reinvesting the reduced amount does not produce much.
How would you advise an investor at this point? Sell, and crystalize the loss and reinvest what little remains? Hold on and wait for a bounce? Settle in for a long wait?
Ideally, investors would have sold before now. I do not see any such advice within your answers, DR was always described as a solid hold and waiting out several quarters was recently recommended.

Q: So, results released and not pretty. I took a small position in this April 2018 (1.75% of Non-Reg Acc) and have been watching slow decline ever since. With today's bad news stock is down to new 52-week low. Question is, should I hold on, bail, or "double-down"? The Board seems to taking corrective action; the dividend has been cut and is now quarterly. I can afford to wait in the area of 5 years. But, I'm not getting as paid as much to wait today as I was yesterday. Thoughts?
Thank you, as always. Michael

Q: I am little confused with your answer to Jerry regarding dividend from US Companies. It seems to me that Dividends from US stocks are reported as forigan income which is taxed similar to interest with no dividend tax credit. Could you please elaborate further on this? Thanks

Q: Hi, Equitable Group has been on a tear and Home Capital is close. Today's results were excellent and EQB has committed to increasing dividends 20-25% every year for next 5 years. Stabilizing housing/mortgage market and improving sentiment has been the primary reason helping this meteoric rise.
What is your opinion on this sector and would you support starting a position in either of these companies for a 5 year hold. If so, which one would you prefer, in terms of Valuation, ROC and Growth prospects? Thanks

Q: Hi guys, could you please give the recent short positions on EIF?
The company as you spoke to, flagged their Q3 earnings(to be released after close Thursday). Is the reason for this notice to provide transparency and therefore I still confidence?
The share price has run up considerably since their share issue, buy on rumours sell on news?
Cheers, have a good un.

Q: I understand that dividends on US-listed ETFs that hold US stocks, if held in a taxable account, are taxed as interest income. Would the same hold for individual US stocks?
Thank you
