Investment Q&A

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

Q: Peter and Co, thanks for the exceptional service.
My question is off topic in some ways but it may have implications for one of Peter's favourite stocks, BNS.
Reuters has reported that in Germany, the UK and the USA there are ongoing investigations into the suspected manipulation of the benchmark pricing of gold and silver. This investigation comes on the heels of the LIBOR price-fixing scandal. The Bank of Nova Scotia-ScotiaMocatta is one of the five banks that are involved in the twice-a-day price fixing for gold.
If there is found to be manipulation in the gold price-fixing, how significant would this be for BNS if ScotiMocotta is implicated?
Thanks.

Q: I was thinking of buying td on the US side. In a previous Q/A you said the price would adjust. I am not sure I understand this. If the Canadian $ drops to say .90 cents would that not make an increase of 4% or so on the difference in the dollar plus being paid in US dollars in the dividend?
Also what are your thoughts on the dividend stock split?
Thank you for your assistance and clarification.

Q: I have held Firm Capital (FC) for a couple years, and am now down on stock price after, unfortunately, adding more last spring. I am considering using this for a tax loss. I might replace it with MCAN (MKP), which appears to be a fairly similar company with a similar yield. How would you rate MKP v FC? Alternatively, do you think it is better to sell FC and move the funds to a different sector? FC is about 2% of my portfolio, and I am retired and invest for income. Thank-you.
