Q: I recently purchased FTN .to (Financial Split Shares Corp) as the NAV dropped below $15.00, the dividend was cancelled, and the share price dropped to $3.50 The NAV was $14.45 at Dec 31. Since Jan 2 the US and Canadian bank stocks have started a bit of a recovery and it seems like it wont take too much to regain the $15.00 NAV and dividend reinstatement.
What is your outlook for Canadian and US banks for the coming year and am I treading on thin ice here?? I know you aren't a particular fan of split shares, but it seems like there would be some nice capital gains and dividend if the NAV does go back over $15.
Thank you so much for your valued opinion.

Q: Hi,

I'm looking for two good dividend payers, with some growth, and minimal volatility over the next 2 years. If they perform, I'd prefer to hold them long term. What to do you recommend and why? I already own AQN. If theres a better choice I haven't mentioned, pease do.

Q: Hi there,

For real estate exposure in the US i have held AMT for 10 years at about a 2% position. With the 5G rollout i beleive these tower services will become significantly more profitable as they sell 'extra space on the existing infrastructure. Your thoughts on this theme and if you were going to add would you add to AMT or CCI. AMT has performed better but has a lower yield. As well, CCI had lower earnings last quarter while AMTs earnings have been growing consistently. I am approaching retirement (next 5 years) so i like a decent dividend with a bit of growth. Thanks for all you do!

Q: Hi team,

I had a position in ATVI in the fall and took a loss on it. If I recall on the last Q, it had weaker guidance than expected and was taking a hit from Fortnite hooking a lot of gamers. I have not heard much recent news other than NFLX and SQ each poaching a top executive from ATVI. They were recently replaced internally today. Gee, I am not saying much positive about it. It seems to have recently bottomed around $45 or so on a technical basis and may be breaking out again. I think the gaming market has a lot of growth ahead of it and ATVI is a major player. What are your thoughts at this point on ATVI or would others in the space be a better pick?

Thanks again,
Dave

Q: I hold a substantial position in VEE as part of my international allocation. While it is priced and trades in Canadian dollars, its core holding is VWO which trades in US dollars. I already have enough US dollar exposure, and welcome the added diversification between the Canadian dollar and local emerging market currencies. However, adding VWO into the mix has me confused as to how F/X exchange rates will affect the performance of VEE. Will any F/X impact to VEE be limited to the relative exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and emerging markets, or does the US dollar somehow play into this?
