Investment Q&A

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

Q: Every so often I accumulate some bad apples but I have far more "winners" that you have brought to my attention than the odd bad apple. When you start noticing these bad apples in your watch list would you not be better off getting rid of them because there are so many good ones you can replace them with? It seems these type of stocks never recover to any degree. Your opinion would be valuable. Thank you.

Q: What are your thoughts about the CDR's offered by CIBC. Are these more or less the same as owning the actual stocks? What is the good and the bad investing in these CDR's? Is this a good way to own US stocks without purchasing these high priced stocks. Will owning these CDR's result in the same returns as the underlying securities. What about the dividends are they payable the same as the actual stock and if so how are they treated for withholding and tax? Anything you can share would be appreciated. Thank you.

Bellow is a list of the CDR's offered by CIBC through the NEO exchange.

Q: I want to put money into TFSA's in the New Year. Thinking of transferring shares of BEP.UN from open account to TFSA's since they do not receive the dividend tax credit - but wondering if this is a good idea or bad for taxes?
It will trigger capital gains - but any stocks transferred from open to TFSA will do the same.

Q: Recently I sold units in FID6000 in my grandson's RESP because of its poor year to date performance and high MER. We did book an overall gain of 130% over a 3 year period. The RESP account owns a variety of income producing positions. that have modest gains. I am looking to invest in something growth oriented, with maybe a 3 to 5 year horizon ahead. I am considering splitting between one or two ETFs listed above and possibly TOI. Do you expect further growth from TOI?. Opinions on ETF's please. Moderate risk OK. Canadian currency only account.

Q: Hi Peter,

ROKU had plummeted after hours. On looking at the earnings, I was surprised that its not as bad at the market is making it out to be.

For one, all key metrics like streaming hours, active accounts and ARPU were all up YOY. So was the Revenue , EBITA and EPS.

It seems the issue is that they missed on revenue when compared to what analysts had forecasted and guided lower for next quarter. From the accounting knowledge I possess, ROKU hardly seems to me like a company that is not growing unless I have become "rusty".
Your brief overview will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
