Investment Q&A

Q: Could you recommend one or two rate reset preferreds that are significantly "underwater" but whose company prospects are reasonably good. As an example CPX.PR.E traded at $13 a couple of years ago and is now north of $23.
Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i - I dont have much exposure to materials in my portfolio. Should I add to my 2% position in WEF or is there another stock you prefer at the moment? Thanks, Neil

Q: Good morning,

I have questions regarding the taxation of foreign dividends. I know that for US dividends, the 15 % tax does not apply for stocks held in a RRSP, but does so in a TSFA or regular account.

- What about non US stocks listed in the US? Are they simply treated as a US stock since they are listed in the US or do other rules apply depending on where the company is based? Good examples would be stocks like LYG (UK) or BABA (China).

- More generally, is the deduction applied automatically when the dividend is paid or does it have to be declared manually by the shareholder on its annual tax report?

I understand fiscal matters are not your specialization, but I figure you or other members might have had the same questions at some point.

Thank you!

Q: Not all that long ago this stock was in the mid 60's and just falls everyday, sometimes as much as 5% in one day. Do you still like this stock? Have you any idea what the problem is with it? On the Canadian side, seems like pretty well all of the Canadian stocks are falling. BBD.B went from $550 to $450 then back up to $525 and then back down to $445. Is this going to do what it did in the past, causing people who got involved with it to lose a bundle? Thanks, Dennis
