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

Q: Just wondering if I should hold Vee, fez, and vxus inside a registered or non registered account. I thought I read somewhere that if held in a registered account, the withholding tax of 15% would apply (unlike us equities in a registered account), and there is no way to recoupe since it is in a registered account. What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks again for the great service.

Q: I own some stocks and ETF's in U.S. dollars. Are there any reasonable methods the retail investor can use to insure himself from a possible decline in the value of the U.S. dollar. This may involve options, hedging or possibly an ETF that tracks the U.S. dollar or other suggestions ?

Many Thanks

Paul

Q: Good Morning, Peter and Team,
I have ventured into the US with MU and GILD. MU lost its contract bid to Samsung recently to provide chips for Apple. GILD is facing more competition for its HIV drug than anticipated. Both stocks are still slightly up but the profit has declined over the past week or so.
In October, you stated that MU runs quickly when it hits a downturn. I am torn about selling on the news for these two companies, and would appreciate your advice on whether to hold or sell right now.
Thank you.

Q: I recently purchased Tesla in my TFSA with the intention of keeping it as a long term hold. I fully understand that it is richly priced and would likely be quite volatile, but the recent report from Bank of America forecasting a huge collapse in the share price has spooked me. It has me second guessing if I can stomach what could be a very wild ride. The shares are trading about where I purchased them and I am considering exiting even though it is only a very small portion of my overall portfolio. What is your view on Tesla today and what do think of the recent Bank of America report?

Q: Investors are loving Apple and neglecting Google these days. My position in Apple has doubled. It is still not overweight in the portfolio. Thinking of selling half of the Apple position to diversify into Google. Google has stalled lately and there is an expectation of a capital return program that may get the stock moving. Or just leave the Apple position alone?
