Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi Peter & team,
Quote from your answers to CPD
"We would be 'OK' with CPD for safe income. However for any strategy or fund that requires systematic withdrawals, such as an RRIF, we would not suggest it as a great ETF in which to initiate a position."

Please explain your position, thanks. In our case, the withdrawal will be equal to minimum

Q: My advisor recommended Fidelity Northstar Fund for some international exposure in my RSP account. Although it does not distribute a dividend, it has shown good growth for 5 (17.19%) and 10 (8.55%) years. I am not sure if you have to hold it for a minimum period of time. Your thoughts please. I am not sure if the net costs to me are worthy of holding this fund in my RSP and I also wonder if you advise foreign content in a CDN RSP

Q: Team:

What does Valeant do?
Research. Little or none.
Piles on massive amounts of debt to buy companies. Raises prices.
May or not be stuffing the channel to record higher sales.
Accounting is probably aggressive.
Been around for 49 years seen this story before.
The debt or the deception will get them in the end.
Reading your answers you do not seem to have the same level of concern.
One of the earlier questions got this right.
PANIC.

Q: Greetings: Here is summary of TSX stocks, showing current dividend yield and the next ex-dividend date. I spot checked a few stocks and guess that the yield data may be a few days behind, but it's a good summary. One can download the list Excel and then sort it on the yield column. A staring point for further analysis. http://dividendhistory.org/tsx/

Q: In reference to your answer to Bruce about Shaw Communications. You indicated that it is owned largely by Rogers Communications. I thought it was owned by the SHAW family, thus the dual class share structure. Are you saying that Rogers is a major shareholder and what percentage do they hold? Can you clarify this please?
