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

Q: These two companies will be sold in my RRSP (Valener) and Cash (Crius) accounts. I have held these stocks as income producers. What would be good replacement stock(s) for these when they are sold. For Crius, if you could, give me 4 or 5 stocks that could replace it for income. My portfolio is well diversified and I am looking for a 4-6% dividend paying stock. Thanks, as always, for the guidance.

Q: On my previous question on EQNR you stated that they had Debt at less than 1x cash flow, just curious at how you arrived at that value, as when i look at Morningstars info they show ttm free cash flow at 6.8 Billion and short and long term Debt around 25.7 Billion. I find this Debt/cash flow Ratio as one of the more useful metrics as it can give you an idea how fast companies can pay off Acquisitions, however few web sites report it, as well as yours when i search under companies
thanks Gord

Q: Clarification on my question --"whether it is best to convert money to the US and then buy stock or just buy stock and then convert to the USA stock". You say "that if one is buying a US stock there will be conversion at some point. Either C$ gets converted into US$ for the purchase, or US$ gets converted into C$ when the investor wants to withdraw Canadian cash from the account eventually."

There will be no conversion fees if I do below steps.
Example: I buy CSU on TSX Then move to USA Stock
When I decide to sell I move CSU from the USA to CDN and then sell.

Is this strategy will end up saving money or the best way to convert money from CDN to the USA or vice versa.

Thanks for the great service.

Q: Hello 5i;
I don't understand your reply to Hector's question today about "whether it is best to convert money to the US and then buy stock or just buy stock and then convert to the USA stock". You say "........there will be no difference". If he converts cash, he will be paying a FX fee. If he buys a stock on the TSX and then moves it to the US side, are you saying that there will also be a FX fee involved?

There is obviously a lot of confusion about US/CDN conversion, be it cash or stocks, the question of dividends, etc. The subject keeps coming up, resulting in a lot of fragmented Q & A's. I wonder if you could come up with an informative blog that would address this whole issue (incl. Norbert's Gambit)? I think we would all find it very useful!
