Q: You’ve picked and stuck with some real winners in the past. You were upbeat on nividia well before it jumped in price as an example! Do you think BN will be a longer term winner? You likely address this in a prior question (in which case please feel free to direct me to your answer), but I am wondering if can briefly give me your top reasons why one may want to buy and hold BN. Thanks.

Q: Re: DRIP's. I have accounts held with different companies. Over the years I have noted that the proceeds from the DRIP's arrive in my account at different times in relation to the release of the dividend itself. One company is very prompt in its delivery whilst another often takes 7-10 days. Is there an advantage to the second company? Are there any rules governing the payment of DRIP's?

I like the changes that you are making to question time.

Q: What would you recommend for an ETF that holds a broad base of US stocks (such as S&P 500) but is sold in CDN dollars, non-hedged. Also, a similar ETF that is priced in USD. Thanks

Q: Can I get your thoughts on the recent earnings? I don't see any comments on it yet.

Also I see previously you replied on Oct 3rd "No dividend is ever guaranteed, but BCE has a very solid record. 12-month payout ratio is less than 50% on operating cash flow."

Can you provide me some insight on why you referenced operating cash flow and not (levered) free cash flow? Is this because BCE has a capex intensive business at times and its free cash flow can vary significantly quarter to quarter and year to year or are there other reasons? Thanks

Q: I was just wondering if I should sell ATZ at a loss in TFSA and re-buy in RESP. Would transfer In Kind work better? Would the Average Cost in RESP be the same as in TFSA if shares were transferred In Kind?

Q: Retired DIY investor. I find that I’m overweight in Tech stocks having AMZN, AAPL, GOOG, and MSFT and on the Cdn side CSU and SHOP. Meanwhile I have no healthcare stocks. I’m considering selling Apple and rotating into ABBV, MDT, or ZBH.
Could I have your opinion on this move? Many thanks.

Q: I'm looking to invest $60,000 for a minimum of 5 years. This money will be used towards a downpayment for a house. Can you please comment on a split of 50% SPY and 50% quality stocks, such as GOOG, MSFT, SLF, ATD, BN. Also can you please suggest some additional stock ideas that are fairly conservative for a 5 year hold. Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i
I must have missed some changes to your site recently. I see the “heart” is gone and some kind of counter and another symbol have been added.
Could you please explain the changes or point me to an explanation within the site.
Thank you
Dave
