Q: iTrade has notified me that I must apply for a TIN Number from USA if I trade PTB's or own them. Problem is I have no way of identifying if the stock is a PTP or not. The way I read it that would be all US stocks and the site they send me to (https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayer-identificaion-numbers-tin) basically says you need to become a US citizen. I run 3 accounts in in USD, Cash, RIIF ant TFSA. Do I have to abandon US investing??

Q: Is there any particular reason for QCOM’s sudden momentum over the past few weeks. I didn’t think its business was specifically in the AI chips. Just wondering if it’s just rallying with the the general rise in the AI-related space. Thanks

Q: With US inflationary concerns (hopefully) receding and the Fed finally pausing on US interest rate hikes (again hopefully) I'm hopeful the US market strength will broaden from some of the mega cap names like NVDA down to more mid-cap opportunities. Are there any mid ($2.5-20bn market cap) names you like currently/would suggest? (US or Canadian)

Q: I Just received a Notice of Pendency and Proposed Partial Settlement of Class Action for shareholder of Bioverative (Biogen spin off). I had 83 shares of BIVV. Can you please explain 1) is this a "legitimate" lawsuit and what exactly is the lawsuit about 2) reading the material i have a hard time understanding if I am automatically part of the potential settlement or do I need to do anything to participate? I never filled anything out so was surprised to see this arrive in the mail and finally 3) if I need to do anything is it worth my time and energy and if so, that action do I need to take.

Thank you for your guidance
Scott

Q: Hi

Can I have your opinion on shippers such as DSX and FRO and those juicy dividends at least for the next year. Longer term I know these can be risky.

Is there a best of breed shipper you would be comfortable recommending?

Thanks.
