Q: Greetings:
As always it is known that you are not tax consultants, but please tell me what you know about a Section 51 election, and when it might be best to make use of it, as well as what CRA form number would be required?
Q: Please help me understand:
TD has announced a) share repurchase intention for 2022, and b) the Jan 31 2022 dividend DRIP shares will be issued from treasury.
These two would seem to be at odds with each other (despite the, presumably, much smaller quantum of the DRIP treasury shares relative to the repurchase plan)?
Q: My 20 year old grandson is about to step into the investing world. His plan is long term but his portfolio will be small to start. Can you suggest a starting point? I can teach him all the lessons you have taught me since 2013 but we just need a starting point.
Q: Finning has dropped a fair amount lately and down near 15% from where I purchased. I believe that the CEO announced a temporary leave for health reasons. Would you continue to hold FTT or is there another industrial sector client you'd suggest?
Q: Hi 5i,
What is your opinion on Alimentation vs. Parkland? Over the last couple years I’ve held in the hopes it might turn out to be a ‘baby ATD.B’. Is this a case where an investor should pay up for the quality proven business?
Q: When I look at the long term chart for this ETF it seems since the pandemic began (and after that initial drop) that the the share price has been on a steeper upwards trajectory than it ever was historically? It also looks as if the volume has been a bit higher than before. Is there a simple explanation that is obvious to everyone but me? Is it a few of the top 10 underlying securities that are driving the whole behaviour, or has owning the ETF become that much more attractive in the face of single company risk since the pandemic began? I always appreciate your insight, thanks.
Q: Hi. Our19 year old granddaughter has received a small 5k inheritance. We would like to start her on her way to portfolio construction. Please advise your best suggestions.
Have thought of VGT or some combination of stocks at present lows. Thanks
Q: I have my RRSP with a full service broker - Canadian dollar & $US account - If I bought a stock on the TSE in canadian dollars and that stock pays it's dividends in $US - is it possible (to save any conversion fees) to have the dividends transferred to my $US RRSP? If YES - is there any cost of any kind to be expected?
Q: Hi Peter/Ryan, I bought LSPD in my RRSP 200 shares at an adjusted cost of 26.0. Its now 11% of the portfolio would it be wise to sell half of this now even though it's down at this level. I did'n t sell at 150. but hind site and all, that's done. Would you sell. Thanks
