Investment Q&A

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

Q: In response to a recent question on BIP.UN, you mentioned it is best in a RRSP or non-registered rather than a TFSA. Is that the same with BAM.A:CA and BRF.PR.E:CA as well? Is the RRSP the best account tax wise? I understand this is true for all US Dividend paying stocks and US Reits, but is it also the same for any TSX listed stocks that make income outside of Canada? Then for TFSA accounts, are they best for Canadian and US growth Stocks, and Canadian Reits?
Thank you!

Q: Hi 5i team,
I just read a comment from a subscriber stating that he only buys Canadian stocks and does not like reading the U.S. ones. Most of my portfolio is U.S. with a sprinkling of Canadian names. So, I read all the U.S. ones and just scan the Cdn names and read those of interest. From the questions, it appears that more and more subscribers have U.S. investments. I know your focus is a Canadian service, but you have given a wealth of valuable advice on U.S. stocks to all of us, so please keep us in mind in any future changes.
Thanks again for your insight, especially on the U.S. side.
Dave

Q: BNS is up AFTER they posted loss, increased reserve provisions etc., BUT it seems ALL the banks are up today even though news about their future is still pending!
Should we "read" that "birds of a feather" phenomenon is operating here and the market has decided to ignore the pending results of other bans and is into a full blown buy mode!
Do you think it is risky or reasonable response to the current situation and one can buy bank stocks now? I know your favorites are RY,BNS,TD.

Q: Peter; CBC has just reported on a investigation by the armed fire es into LTC facilities in Quebec and Ontario that is quite terrible. Your premier is going on air shortly - seems to me this could cause disruption in those stocks. Do,you think it is serious enough for them to do a “ takeover” of the offending facilities for a period of time? Thanks. Rod
