Q: A question about Purpose ETF (ex; PDF); in particular the corporate class funds. The implication is that even highly taxed interest income (or foreign dividend) can be distributed as a capital gain (less tax). I was under the impression that this would change and be now off limits ?
Thanks

Q: Hello Peter and team;

In the Globe & Mail today, under the heading of Stock Analysis, they did some number crunching on some U.S. Insurance Companies.

In my U.S. portfolio i am looking to add a U.S. Insurance company. Out of the 4 companies they highlighted, which one would you recommend for growth, and value?

Thanks

Q: First best to the season to you.

I was wondering about your general thoughts on Shaw, now that the Wind purchase had rattled the stock price. Is this good for Shaw in the future, and is the current price one to consider it a buy now?
Is the duel stock structure a big hindrance to the growth of the stock price?
As always, thanks..

Just wondering if this fund is more favorable during current market conditions this past year(flat)? How would it perform in a very bullish (interest rates rising) market? I'm considering it for a long term hold and for it's distributions. I look forward to your comments, Thank you.

Q: Do you think it is worth the risk to buy any dividend paying energy stocks at this time. Would need to have a good balance sheet and have potential for some significant upside to offset the risk. Please list the equities in order that you would acquire? Would you buy a full or part position
Wish the 51 research team a merry Christmas and a healthy and happy 2016
Thanks for your service David

Q: I'm confused by the latest report. CXI has had pending approval for a Schedule 1 Bank since before your first report Dec.1, 2014. If OSFI is doing the approving and now with a new Federal Govt. the process could take longer are you saying that this is somehow a political decision and not a bureaucratic one? What is the normal length of time for approval and if it has stretched on this long does that increase prospects for denial? It seems to me the takeover of CFF Bank by HCG in Oct. has been a huge ho-hum with stock down 20% since, so just how much upside has CXI vs. the potential further downside? Thanks, J.

Q: Hello, my friend is starting a tfsa with about $6000. Low tolerance to risk but long term horizon (in her 20s) She was asking me advice and i wanted to run my thoughts by you : 35% zcs, 40% cdz and 25% xei. Is it sound advice ? Is it worthwhile to split the equity portion between those 2 given the amount invested ? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks

Q: What are your thoughts on the recent financing? I have heard it stated that it is an unwelcome development because the 20% Chinese ownership and 2 Board seats will give them an effective veto over a possible buyout and limit the upside. On the other hand, they will have enough money for several years of drilling, and possibly minimized dilution as much as possible, given the state of the uranium market. Would you buy at this price? Thanks.
