Q: Are there any differences with owning US stocks in a Canadian account vs a dedicated US account?
Q: Dear 5i
I just want to verify with you when you generally recommend a max amt of 5% in any one stock you mean 5% of the total of all individual stocks held plus cash held right ?
You generally don't include ETF`s of stocks such as ZDM,ZWH,VFV,and VGG of which i own .I`m including the cash component because of the intent to eventually use that cash to buy more stock .
I just want to be sure I'm understanding this correctly and not unintentionally investing far more in one stock then what i should be .
Thanks

Q: Hi team,
I saw a comment earlier today about increasing your U.S. coverage, that I would also like to endorse. I realize that staffing and resources and the sheer breadth of the U.S. markets are significant constraints. Even though you do not officially cover the U.S., your comments are spot on. I discovered BOX from your comments; SQ as well if I recall. I am moving more and more funds to the U.S. these days, mainly for tech, some financials. Tech is a long term secular theme that will be here long after we are all gone. The TSX is such a narrow index; financials, oil and gas and materials. Perhaps you could consider venturing into the U.S. on a sector basis, where the TSX is weak, such as tech. Maybe add in consumer and financials.
I for one would be willing to pay a significantly higher annual subscription for U.S. coverage, just for certain sectors if necessary. I have subscribed in the past to several other investment services that were much higher in price and much inferior in service to yours.
Thanks for your consideration and as always, I appreciate the service.
That’s my 2 cents worth (in U.S., not Cdn).

Q: After a poor quarter, or other "bad" news announcement that causes a stock to sell off, how long typically does it take the security to find its new price level and stabilize (how long does it normally take for selling exhaustion to take effect)? What indicators can one use to see when this new price level has been achieved? Volume? Price stabilizes for x number of days? Thanks!
Q: I understand that many former technology companies such as Google are being re-classified as Communications Sector. These companies are widely held in many ETF's and Index funds. This ultimately changes the ETF and Index components and may generate unplanned capital gains or losses.
Is this correct and in your opinion does it happen often?
thanks

Q: Regarding questions on SIS and other companies that announce earnings release dates. Some announcements are made before the market opens while others are after market close. Do you think there is a tendency to announce after market close if results aren't stellar and to force share holders to sleep on it rather than announcing before market open and having a knee jerk panic sell off? Although some may worry until market opens in the morning and selling could be just as bad. Have you ever pondered release time frame versus good/bad results?
Thanks
Dave

Q: Hi 5i,
This is a general question but I listed Tesla as an example. I am curious about the influence of shorts on a company's stock movement. I have a friend who says that the price of, say Tesla, is held back by a large number of outstanding short positions. And, ... if the shorts start to be removed, Tesla stock will take off. My own belief is that there are many significant factors on what a stock moves up or down, and I would say, shorts play only a minor role in the price movement. So my question, how significant are the short positions in price movement ?

Q: Hello Peter/Ryan,
I listed many names on the list in one question in order for other members benefiting from your advises as well. Feel free to deduct as many credits if it needs to be.
4-part questions:
1) Market rotation: Many solid consumer staples and industrial stocks went down significantly, what do you think of their directions in the next two years (I will get pay to wait if buy now) and what causing this downturn?
2) I list them in pair for long term hold over 5 years (pleas suggest a name that you like better)
FLR (Fluor-US) Industrials versus VEOEY/VEOEF (Veolia Env. ADR French) Environment-Water Treatment
DANONE ADR (French) versus Saputo
MDLZ (Mondelez -US) versus HSY (Hershey-US)/NSRGY (Nestle-CH Swiss co.)
KHC (Kraft Heinz-US) versus UL (unilever- UK)
PEP (Pepsi) versus KO (Coca cola)
3) Large international companies listed on US-OTC (over the counter) market instead of NYSE or NASDAQ to lower the listing cost and regulatory complexity of a stock exchange listing.
What to choose and ADR stock ticker ending with a Y (sponsored by a US Bank) or with a F (unsponsored) ? Why such a large price difference between them? In case of unsponsored ADR, how safe will it be time to sell the stock and time to get for the dividend declared.
In this case 52 weeks Low-High Veolia -VEOEY= 20.22 to 26.40 versus VEOEF = 19.50 to 26 (almost same dividend 1.03 versus 1.04)
4) Tax withholding:
Inside RRSP: none on US-UK co. shares and mostly 15% on European co. shares (anyway to get this back?)
Inside: TFSA: 15% in most cases (anyway to get this back)
Outside in investment account.
Thank you!

Q: Hi Peter, I am just wondering what the difference is between accounts payable vs. accounts receivable? Do they play a big role when you evaluate a company? What are the key things to look out (to exceed or not to exceed others) for each? Thanks!
