Q: Regarding Sanjay's question about moving a Canadian stock to the U.S. side in order to keep the dividend in U.S. $, is this the only way to go about it? And if one wants to sell the stock later in CDN $, then have it moved back? Or would you just specify the currency on the trade order (or would that incur FEX fees)?

Q: You have noted that sector weakness is a factor in the decline in this equity due to long term factors weakening the oil price. Two questions - I) how much of our sector weakness is due to the price differential suffered by Canadian operators from the inability to get their product to world markets, and ii) while in the long run oil pricing may weaken for the reasons stated, the current situation - both short and medium term - appear likely to support the price of oil, perhaps as a minimum, Can you comment please.
Q: Hi, I have opened an RESP account with 5K for initial deposit, and will also be contributing $150 on a monthly basis. I don't plan to do a withdraw from this account for about 10 years.

Q: Canada Goose has been criticized for its use of down, fur and wool by PETA and other sources, and there are lots of questions on the internet about their treatment of animals. Do you consider their transparency standard for ethical sourcing and use of the products "ethical enough" to withstand any public concerns and ad campaigns against it? If so, do you still consider it is a good buy at $65? They are opening 6 new stores this fall so they must feel confident. Thanks for your valued opinion on this.

Q: Good morning - I have watched CIBC with interest recently as I am a long term investor and have positions with most of the Canadian banks. Earlier this week, analysts were forecasting muted returns for CIBC and indeed this turned out to be accurate. The bank narrowly missed projections and offered a downbeat view of the rest of the year. No surprised there.
What perplexes me is why the shares went up the day before the earnings report then dropped so dramatically yesterday. This, in spite of the fact the news was not unexpected. Yes, growth is going to be modest but who exactly was buying the day before and who was rushing to sell yesterday? Surely it's not small investors like me who are likely more prone to panic but if it's institutional money managers why the rush of selling? Surely they could read the obvious tea leaves. Is this program trading or just one of those mysteries of market life?

Q: Hi Peter
every quarter they highlight growing sales and EBITDA, but it never translates to the bottom line
profit is flat
what is wrong with the company, that growth never comes out the bottom line?
also with 59% of revenue from the USA, why does it need to have currency hedges to protect itself from rising material costs priced in US dollars? --that should be a natural hedge
most quarters (except last one) those hedges are a drag on profits
and now they hedge interest rates too !!

Related to that, the effects on BCE and RCI.b relative to Telus (ie which of the three will fare the best)? Thx!!

Q: Dear 5i
My wife contributed $5000 to her TFSA 2009 , 2010 and 2011 totalling $15000 . Two years later it was necessary for her to withdraw the total amount leaving a balance in her TFSA of $0 .
In 2018 we calculated that from 2009-2018 her total allowable contributions totals ~$57500 . As such she puts this much into her TFSA in a lump some in 2018 .
CRA informs her that her contribution room Jan 1/18 is only $50300 and as such says she has over contributed by roughly$6900 . Does this sound right to you or have we somehow miscalculated .
Thanks
Bill

Q: These three companies are a part of balanced equity model portfolio as of last report. All three are down somewhere in the range of 15-20% since April 30. Do you still like/recommend them (i.e. are they still a "buy") or there is a change in your views and you are going to dump them and replace in BE portfolio?
