Investment Q&A

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

Q: I just received a notification of a class action suit and it advises that you must opt out by March 25, 2020 which date has come and gone.
I guess I have no choice now .. I am part of the class action. Will this create a problem for me .. what should I do? I have been involved in stocks as part of a class action. The forms and info requiredwere very time-consuming and received pennies on the dollar for it.
AYX, AMD, NVDA, TTD, FIVN, and CRM. What type of ETFs would have these type of stocks in them? I was with Dundee Private Vestors for a very long time one of their very top picks was the Sprott Growth Fund which I did well by .. manager Peter Hodson. Thanks Dennis

Q: Hello, you say that in a RRSP or RIF both BIP.UN and BIPC are economically equivalent. When one looks at the company profile of both, only BIP.UN shows a dividend yield of 5.1%. The company profile of BIPC does not show any dividend. Is it because BIPC is a new company that has just been listed? Will the dividend of BIPC be the exact same of BIP.UN? Regards, Gervais

Q: I am a Canadian and have built up a good position in BPY.UN during this sell-off. Their website says their distributions are to dividends but Flow Thru (income) and taxed in the hands of shareholders.

They supposedly issue T5013s.

Is it better to hold in RRSP/TFSA or non-registered?

If I am borrowing to invest in a non-registered, do you think the interest can be written off taxes like buying other securities can be?

Thank you
Bruce

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

As luck would have it after being under water for two years on GILD I dumped it at $63.

It’s gone straight since then mostly because of a possible covid vaccine . I note you like it and while I obviously hope they or someone has a vaccine soon , I wonder about your thoughts for it going forward if they do not come up with a vaccine for covid .

Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: I was involved in the Tech crash, the Financial crash and now the the Covid crash. I learned to have good quality stocks, be patient, and the stock market will be higher after this ends than before this crisis started - believe in capitalism. I also would like to thank you and your team for giving investors sound, well thought out and realistic advice. Give knowledge to others that you would give yourself and use knowledge NOT emotion. Take care and stay healthy.

Q: I'm trying to decide what to do with TSGI in one account. I'm holding 1000 shares (-12% @$35.43) which comprises 4.4% of my main account. Given the large amount I hold, the commission to sell on the London Exchange is immaterial so I thought I'd probably hold for the Flutter shares. However, with the move up today I'm wondering if I should sell and move on. If there is reasonable/substantial future upside I'd hold. My time horizon is likely 2-3 years, maybe longer. Sell or Hold?

Is it really possible for the product they are referring to

to reward investors regardless of market conditions?
