Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i Team - Is NVEI worth holding on to in case of a higher price or is it best to sell and use the money somewhere else. When does the takeover happen. If I sell are there a couple of replacement stocks you think would work for a three to five year hold.
Thanks.

Q: Are ZSP and XUS also good candidates for RRIF? Are tax withholding rules on dividends for ZSP and XUS the same in RRSP and RRIF? Thanks in advance for your comments.

Q: Retired, dividend income investor. From a value point of view, which has more rebound potential....FTS or ZUT? Ya, I know...single company vs ETF, so tough to compare. I own both and have mostly full positions, with a top up in mind for both. Just wondering which one to do first...I am leaning towards ZUT.

When I look at the charts over various timeframes, it looks to my amateur eyes, that ZUT is much more closely tied to interest rate changes. It looks like ZUT started to really take it on the chin during 2022 when interest rates were being cranked up. Also, I am hearing/reading that the worst might be over for the renewables and they might start to rebound...which would benefit ZUT (for the record, I am overweight Eric's NNRG, so I have that end of the Utility-Energy spectrum covered).

Your thoughts?

Q: Hello,

My mother, who is 72 years old, recently received an inheritance. She is looking to invest this money in her TFSA and would like to use it to generate monthly income while also aiming for some growth. Could you please suggest a few ETFs that would be suitable for achieving these goals?

Thank you,

Derek

Q: Your recent comments about FSV fundamentals have been quite positive and yet the share price continues to decline. Is it possible (ie likely) that this has something to do with the changes to the capital gains rules? If so, what would be your approach?

Q: Hello Peter,
Other than Jason Donville's negative comments on Propel, could the insider selling be another reason for downward movement of the stock. I do find it surprising that insiders sold quite a bit, at much lower than the peak price. Could this be due to the stock options being vested on that particular date? I would appreciate your comments and thanks for prior responses. Here is the site i am referring to

Q: what did you make of bns quarterlies? This stock has been a laggard for over 10 years and dividend increase yearly does not even keep up with inflation. They usually increase dividend this quarter [albeit very small] but this quarter have kept dividend the same . I realize they pay a 6.5% dividend but as a shareholder you would like to
see a rising dividend yearly especially if price has done nothing for years. What do you
think as a dividend investor.

Q: Thoughts please on the quarter?

Thx

Q: I I am embarrassed to ask this question: I notice the share price fluctuates between $50.00 and $50.24. Is that just a function of the monthly payment? In other words does one need to time purchases? I am sitting on a ton of cash and want to earn some interest (right now sitting in cash in my rrsp earning nothing).
