Investment Q&A

Q: I would like to purchase one of these for an aggressive growth account for the next 5+ years. How would you order them best to worst? Thanks.

Q: With reference to Andrea's question on transfer-in-kind of stock to TFSA,

Q: Hello, What major company would you suggest the produces iron? Seeing as the war in Ukraine is reducing the supply from the side of the world. Other than Brazil, is there a major player in North America you would recommend and why? Thanks

Q: The answer here might be obvious, but I'll ask the question nevertheless. Is there a CRA weasel rule that discourages selling a stock at a profit inside a TFSA and then immediately buying the same stock in an unregistered account?

Q: Hello,

Given the Core Scientific bankruptcy filing, can you comment on Riot's financials to weather the crypto winter.

Thank you!

Q: With the high yield of BAM I was planning to hold it in my cash account, yet today in a response to Jim you recommend it be held in a registered account. I am curious about your rationale for that recommendation. Do you know if the distribution will be a pure dividend? Thank you as always.

Q: In a slowdown, would you swap WSP for TFI?

Q: In your response to Randy about converting BNRE to BN you stated

"Under the structure, there is really only an advantage if the price of BNRE is higher than the price of BN and one wants to sell (and get the higher price). Right now there is a 20c difference, not really material enough to make a switch. Dividends and economic exposure are equivalent."

I would have thought that you would only want to convert BNRE to BN if BRNE was tradng LOWER than BN not HIGHER, thus trading a less valuable stock up to a more valuable stock. What am I missing?

Thanks

Q: What is going on with AAV and DVN recently. Both are dropping at a greater rate than other gas & oil stocks. Would you hold or sell? Would there be 2 or 3 others that might be more solid alternates?

Q: Hello, Whats your view on this company and is it investible at the present time? The charts over a yr seem to show a downwards trend and yet the company seems to be in the right space.

Q: Good evening,

RNW is down significantly in recent weeks. NWH.UN down as well - just not as much.
In November you suggested NWH.UN was still a hold.
What are your thoughts on these two at this moment in time specially wrt income.

Thanks very much.

Q: Hi, Can I get your analysis of this company and why the share price seems to be on a downwards trend. Is it worth getting into?

Thx

Q: Hello 5i Team

I previously owned TransAlta (TA), when they cut the dividend in 2015/2016 and took the capital loss at the time.

I have owned RNW since 2015, so I currently have a small capital gain.

Upon RNW and TA news release on December 15, it appears the future for RNW is not great and several analysts have stated the best course of action would be for TA to take RNW private (similar to what Enbridge did with Enbridge Income Fund in 2018). Otherwise they indicated no dividend growth and a potential future cut in RNW dividend.

Questions are:

1 - Would it make sense to sell my RNW shares and purchase TA shares (essentially trading dividend income for future stock growth).

2 - Consider the RNW and TA not buyable and finally sell out RNW and buy something else. Any suggestions?

3 - Where does Brookfield fit in with Trans Alta, as they previously made a deal in 2018/2109 for a future purchase of TA hydro assets?

Thanks for all the information in the Q&A portion of 5i.

Q: Could you please give your updated opinion and future prospects for this company. Is it a sell or continue to hold. Dividend is attractive. Is it sustainable? Is it worth buying back in 30 days if sold for tax loss harvesting.
Thanks
