Investment Q&A

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

Q: This company is getting no respect of late. I thought that opening the TSX this morning would have provided some momentum, which it did to the downside.
Would you consider this a good buying opportunity now that it has a 6 handle or do you think it will languish here indefinitely until a major acquisition occurs. What percentage of a portfolio should this be for an aggressive investor?

Thanks Peter

Cheers

Q: Could I please get your comments on MIC-N. What kinds of "infrastructure" do they own or manage? What do you think of their growth profile? What about the price/cash flow? What caused the steep price decline in 2015-16? If I buy it for my RRSP are there any withholding tax implications? Is there anything you prefer in the US in this area? Thanks for your feedback.

Q: If a Canadian based ETF (e.g. VUS) invests in a US company or ETF (e.g.VTI), isn't the dividend paid to the Cdn ETF subject to US withholding tax, regardless of whether it is held in a registered or taxable account ?

Thank you for your outstanding service to us !

Q: I am sorry if this is a stupid question due to my incompetence. About a decade ago I made good money on a gold stock - Central Gold Trust (GTU.UN). I can't find it anywhere, what happened to it? Thanks again Henry

Q: If I own a stock outside of my TFSA and then buy the same amount of this stock inside my TFSA for twice the price is my adjusted cost base equalized between the two holdings?
IE 1 share = $1 outside TFSA
1 share = $2 inside TFSA

Is my cost base now $1.50 on 2 shares?

TIA

Q: I bought Painted Pony when it was around $4.50. So I am up on this investment. Is Raging River a more compelling stock for growth? Should I sell PPY and buy RRX. Should I hold long term on PPY? Or should I sell and go inot an entirely different energy stock? I view myself as a long term investor and want to hold stock for 5 to 10 years and hopefully watch them grow.

Q: Sent a question yesterday so if it is still in the queue, please ignore this.January 2016 you considered MIC to be 'an attractive stock for long term investors willing to go against the current market craziness.' The delinquencies 12% in Alberta in January would likely be growing with the Ft. McMurray fires and Saskatchewan industry being hit also. Should I continue to hold for the dividend?
