Investment Q&A

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

Q: I hope I didn't misunderstand a recent response from your team on this ATD.B. Would you be saying that without an acquisition there is little growth for this stock? Assuming no acquisition taking place in the next couple of years, would you still invest in this company?

One other question. Do you see them dramatically increasing their dividend as the company matures in the future?

Thanks.

Q: I am trying to learn how to sell losers but it is complicated. Having held BYDDY for a few years I finally sold it just before it shot up this summer (whine). I plan to sell Western Forest Products at a big loss and reinvest the funds. Will you recommend a stock or two for the funds; I'm considering WELL or REAL or both, as I have partial positions in both? Thanks, Cathy

Q: Hi, I have a question about Blackberry. The company seems to have multiple decent software, but the problem seems to be in the sale departement. The newly president is a software sales specialist, and right now he seems to build a new sales team. Do you think he can be the missing part to see high growth sales again for Blackberry ?

Q: Do you think Tech my trade sideways for a while as the valuations may have to catch up? I am overweight Tech still and i am finding it hard to sell some of the stocks that have been good to me. Which sectors might you overweight or lean to now with the news that some vaccines may be out in the next 3-6 months?
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i, please advise on the following:
Q1 - What are the pros and cons of purchasing US ETF on the US exchange (VTI) vs buying on TSX (VUN) other than lower fees?
Q2 - Pros and Cons of buying hedged ETF vs. non-hedged.
Q3 - My daughter has her ESPP in a non-registered plan with a large US company. She is wondering if it makes sense to sell the shares and repurchase from her TFSA. The idea is to pay a smaller capital gains tax now and accrue future gains tax free. Going forward, she would sell each addition (2x/yr) and repurchase from her TFSA within days (assuming each sale generates a gain, the shift in price between sell date and repurchase date is minimal and she has complied with the holding period). Your thoughts?

Thanks very much,
Rosemin

Q: Thanks for the quick answer, in which you say there are 2 analysts covering Leon's with an average target price of $22.50.

When I go to the Company Profile page, it shows 1 analyst with a target of $17.00. Does the data base manager that feeds you your data need to update this? It has been like this for several months.

You also mention a special dividend...when is the date of record to be eligible for this?

Thanks again...Steve

Q: Good day,
I have built my daughter's RRSP with your wise direction. She is up 15 to 25% on BAM;EMA;FTS;L;OTEX;RY; BEP and RBF 1030.(My choice) Wonderful. Thank you. We are down in descending order on ENB;CSH;BCE and MFC.

Overweight in Utilities and Financials but okay with that.

Would you add to the latter group? Add any new ones.

Looking forward to Peter on BBN Tuesday.

Long term 25 years+. Many thanks!
