Q: Background: I owned HOT.UN in my TFSA for the dividend in USD. but then my bank converted the dollars to Cdn (no choice there unless I held it in a USD account apparently) and then there was about 30% tax removed from the dividend as well.
Question: Is this normally what happens? Very confused as American Hotels is Canadian or so I thought.

Q: I have 2 transportation stocks CP and AC, up 30% and 48% respectively in a very short time. Now they represent 5% each of my diversified portfolio.
Both were an opportunistic purchase since I had no transportation stocks. Do you think I should sell them or there is more upside potential? Industry consolidation in case of CP and AC increasing its cash flow, lowering debt, perhaps paying a dividend (don't sell your winners philosophy)?

Q: In an otherwise well balanced portfolio,and knowing that they are in different sectors, which of the two stocks do you feel has the better
possibility for growth over the next eighteen months to two years. Dividends are not an issue.Their Market Cap, P/E ratio, REO, and price appreciation over the last one year appear to be similar. Thank you for your opinion. Ian

Q: I read with interest a recent answer that split the 5iR balance portfolio into 3 ‘buckets”. My wife has a RRSP and a regular account….and both of these “buckets” hold 5iR income portfolio positions...and will be adding to it. From risk and diversification reasons, I would be interested in your take on what a two way split of the 5iR income portfolio would be…….Thanks…….Tom

Q: I realize that you're not a huge fan of companies in the marijuana sector and probably don't pay much attention to stocks on the CSE but I'm interested in iAnthus Capital Holdings (C.IAN) which is involved in financing some of these companies (in the US). They recently arranged for an over subscribed $20 million in financing at $2.10, their CEO seems to be experienced and competent and they provided options for management that were $0.50 higher than the stock price was at the time (always a pleasant surprise with a microcap and demonstrating confidence in the business). I would appreciate your perspective and as always, keep up the great work.

Considering the protectionist rhetoric from the Whitehouse, are energy service companies safe. Should we focus on companies working in the USA or elsewhere?
