Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have held Alaris pre conversion for some time now in a taxable account . Since the conversion to a UN , now tax wise I am wondering whether it makes sense to even hold it in a taxable account. I am considering selling for those reasons.
Could I ask for your opinions in regards to AD.UN specific composition for Canadian income tax purposes?
Thanks

Q: In non-registered account we had huge gains in solid dividend payers (ENB, SLF,CNR,FTS) and last year against tax-loss selling was able to reduce weight in portfolio to approximately 4% each. Donated some shares to charities and also gifted some to son (still had to pay capital gains but didn't hurt as much because benefit is still in the family). New money has been going to growth securities and thanks to your advise in time we may have huge capital gains again. Are there other strategies for dealing with this happy problem?

Q: Morning

I have funds in my TFSA and am interested in investing in one of the three stocks listed. Would appreciate your thoughts on rating the growth and risk of each and whether you feel there is a better growth alternative.

Q: Thank you for . I do not normally place much importance on insider selling. However, I see that insiders have been selling a lot of CRM, including sales by Mr. Benihoff . The stream of insider sales reports seems never-ending. Granted, the above is not uncommon and could be due to grant/redemption of options. But the sales seem to have been non-stop lately. Is this something on which one should place any weight to when thinking about one's own thoughts of trimming CRM?

Q: This is my margin portfolio, all position weightings are between 3%-5%.

The projected yield is 3.31% with a 3-5 year hold.

I realize 24 positions is a bit overkill but I can't seem to choose which to remove, which would you recommend?

What positions would you add to the portfolio?

Take as many credits as needed.

Thanks for the great service

Q: I had a portfolio review many years ago when you did them individually, personally by human! At the time your suggestions were right on and cleaned up my ETF's. Now I have over ten and according to your metrics it should not be so. Given those above, is there anything that is not required? I am up 25%- 150% on all of them. I am happy with all of them. I have a balanced portfolio in all 11 sectors with 44 stocks all doing quite nicely thank you. Following the income portfolio with some of my own additions from 15 years ago. I do not see any major conflicts.I am s a buy and hold dividend investor with some growth ( lightspeed, Leon's).
Thank you for your million dollar service!

Q: Further to your comments today about Superior, could you also provide the payout percentage and if you consider it a buy today as a new position. This would be more for income than growth. A couple other questions: where does most of their propane go - residential or commercial? How does propane fit into the current "green" initiatives relative to other hydrocarbons?
Thank-you
