Investment Q&A

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

Q: In regards to an earlier answer, which stock(s) do you believe is a better alternative than SIS? Same sector or otherwise? Risk is not an issue.

Thanks for your service.

Q: My TFSA holdings are AC, ( even), EGLX ( up), and WELL ( down) in roughly equal amounts , and wish to add another stock having the same weighting. I am looking at the 3 stocks highlighted. My TFSA obviously leans toward riskier growth / special circumstances stocks. I am looking at the three stocks listed above but would consider any of those listed in your growth portfolio. Would you buy any of these three or what other from your portfolio ? Thanks. Derek

Q: Hello 5i,

I purchased these four funds in an income account in the summer/fall of last year. To date ZRE and CPD have hung in there, while the other two are slightly down overall including divs. Are these funds behaving the way you would expect for an income investor?

Q: I've held a DRIP (in BNS) for about twenty years. It used to be run by the company itself but now is run by Computershare. I liked it in the days when discount brokers could do dividend reinvestments, but that advantage is gone (except for the fractional shares). Also it used to offer a 10% discount on reinvested dividends but no longer does. I am wondering if it is worth keeping the shares in this account, with the main benefits gone and the drawbacks of only being able to buy/sell at month's end still in place, or if I should have them transfered to my unregistered discount brokerage (assuming I can do an in-kind transfer). What do you think?

Q: Would appreciate your guidance on capital gains reporting to CRA when a US stock in a USD trading account is sold - where does one obtain the relevant USD to CAD conversion rate if that is not provided on tax slips/statements?
Thank you.
