Q: Given a 15% withholding fee for US investments, which S&P based index fund would be the most favourable to hold in a RRSP in Canada. Either HXS, VFV, XSP, ZSP to reduce the yield drag on non-recoverable withheld taxes. Of course HXS has none withheld to date but does have a pending distribution perhaps at year end.

Q: 5-I,
I own CPD plus 5 individual rate reset preferred shares with reset dates ranging from 2020 to 2022. . When I look at the gains / losses I see CPD has been hit much more than any of the individual items over the past year. My question relates to how the NAV is determined with CPD. Is it very similar to that of a mutual fund , ie if many sales orders are received the ETF needs to liquidate, thus causing a drop in NAV? Any other thoughts why such a large performance difference between CPD and individual preferred shares ?
Thank you,
Paul

Q: Back in July, David was asking about CSAV to park emergency fund money in and you seemed to like PSA more because of the liquidity of a larger fund.
It looks like CSAV now has around $300M in assets. Is that large enough to remove any concerns about liquidity? CSAV has a slightly lower MER but their monthly payout seems to fluctuate more so I'm not sure which to choose for emergency funds.
Thanks

Q: At what point do you sell the stock or double up on your share count. The ‘fundamentals haven’t changed’,only peoples perception on its stock price has changed and I have a 5 year hold. I have contemplated waiting for another sharp drop and buy additional shares - like double my present position. OR I thought that if the stock hit the 200 day moving average I would sell. FYI - I bought the stock at $40 ish and sold at $80 ish. Bought again at $100 ish and sold at $150 ish. Finally I bought it again at $180 ish and still own the stock. Like all of us I have owned stocks that went up and down dramatically only to hold on to long, ie Valient.

Q: Hi,
Down, down, down. I realize this was (is) overvalued and a growth play and there is sector rotation out of growth stocks. Where might you expect this to bottom out at?

Q: 1. I hold Methanex shares and bought them at 90 CAD.
I like the company fundamentals and also the fact that they recently buy back their shares. As I have some capital gains up to date, I want to know if you would recommend me taking half a position and taking advantage of the tax loss and buy k back after 30 days at the current lower price or I don't do nothing and wait for the stock to go back up?
2. Is there a co-relation with lower interest and preferred shares and bank stocks not performing well ? I own ZHP and the stock has been trading sideways for some time.
