Investment Q&A

Q: What do you think of buying some of this in a non registered account for the tax benefits you could receive.
If I buy at the current price ~ $24. before ex-dividend on Jan 18th I get a U$12.00 dividend (about C$15.57). Assume the stock drops down to $10. and I sell the stock I break even on cost, but I get a dividend tax credit and a capital loss on the sale of the stock. Both are a tax advantage.
If I buy in a registered account, it is more of a gamble with no tax benefits. Looking at their other business lines I can't see anything that would make me interested in holding after the sale of the bike business.
Looks like 3 or more insiders hold about 6mm shares. Nice dividend for them.
I realize you can't be tax experts, but I thought it was an interesting option.
Would like to hear your comments.
Thanks

Q: What do you think of Playmaker as a micro-cap investment?

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

Why do tech stocks get hammered due to projected interest rate increases because “investors compare those earnings to what they can get on other investments”

Do stocks in other sectors not face the same competitive investments ?

Does this not hold true for many companies on other sectors ?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Hello 5i Team,
I have a mixed basket of ETFs across assets types (equity, bond, preferred, etc...) in my TFSA for income.

I was looking at the dividend growth over the past 5 years and noticed that many of the ETFs have had a negative growth. Namely, bond indexes (VAB,XHY, HYI, and ZEF) have trended downward as well as prefs, REITs and europe/emerging equities (CPD, XRE, and ZWE).

I was wondering why that is? Is it because of low interest rates over the years or rising debt levels(or something worse)?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: Hi Team,
Celh is in "free fall" this afternoon. I read rumours of a share issuing coming is this true? Is it time to panic sell or time to stop watching the markets for about 6 months? Thanks

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Here is a simple question... because I do not want to make a mistake. I have just received my annual withdrawal amount which is due on April 30. If I withdraw this amount from my RRIF account and transfer it to my cash account now... will it be automatically withdrawn again on April 30? I do not want to make a payment twice. Thanks!

Q: What do you think of CVO at this moment and what can we expect of this stock in the medium / long term? What would be a good entry point and do you think that it would be a good addition to a well diversified portfolio or if you prefer something else? Feel free to make any suggestion that you would think might be superior.

Q: I know you generally recommend 10% as a maximum weighting for the energy sector. However my weighting in my unregistered Canadian cash account is now 32% because I followed Eric Nuttall and got in early. I am reluctant to sell for two reasons. One, I would face very substantial capital gains taxes. Two, I believe there is considerable further upside. I am a senior and my question is: is there any practical way of protecting these gains apart from significant selling? I would appreciate Peter's advice.

Q: Hello 5i,

Q: I am a little overweight techs in a well diversified portfolio. Considering valuation contraction where do you see a new normal forward P.E. the S&P in 2022 and for those stocks highlighted?
Please provide forward P.E. and multiples for those that make profits and guestimate where the low end could be for the others.

Thanks

Q: What are your thoughts on this company? Dividend is around 7%. How safe do you feel it is. Possible higher risk precious metals hold that pays a dividend while waiting for stock prices to recover?

Q: The above is for a long term hold in a non registered account.

1.Please provide a break down of MER, AVERAGE TRADE VOLUME daily or monthly, Assets under management (is this the best indicator of safety)
2. Are they all tracking the nasdaq 100?
3. What are the differences between them? (I believe them to be unhedged purchased in Canadian dollars)
4. What should influence me to purchase one over another?

thanks

Q: I currently hold Starbucks in our dividend portfolio. Given the rise in wages and new union issues would you continue to hold? If not Starbucks, is there another stock in Consumer Discretionary that you prefer for dividend growth?

Q: If you had a well balanced portfolio and were looking to add some medium to small sized companies that were involved in industrial activity of various types, how would you feel about each of these companies on a scale of 1 to 10, with a 10 being a stock you definitely want to add right now, a 1 being a stock you have absolutely no interest in, and a 5 being a stock you thought was not bad, but not good enough to want to buy it. Say you have a risk tolerance of about a 7, with 10 being high and 1 being low. Looking for long term total return. ANRG, DIR.UN, FTT, GDI, HDI, ITP, NOA, XTC.
