Investment Q&A

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

Q: I think you answered this kind of question before. If so, my apologies.
ENB (as an example) is a Canadian stock also trading on NYSE. If, in a taxable account, I journal the shares over to to the US$ side, will the dividend be taxed as interest income, or as US$ dividend (i.e. no dividend tax credit)?
Thank you

Q: Thanks for your response to my previous query regarding validations for BEPC. I am aware of how the stock has done and management quality. What I was hoping for were some metrics , growth rates, revenue, earnings , etc that you see going forward that would provide some basis for evaluation of the shares. Also some comparison with other companies in the same sector based on similar parameters would be helpful. Would appreciate your comments and input please to the extent you feel is reasonable.Thanks

Q: QST VS XBC: Could you explain the differences between these companies? Which one has higher growth? As both are in the Growth Portfolio, I'm assuming you prefer both? Would you buy either today or would you wait for things to settle down?

Q: Hi Team,
Your member question/s policy has been change ? As I see too many members ask questions of 2,4,6 or even 10 stock questions and looks like they use this service as "personal portfolio manager", your answer only good to that member only and do not benefit other members at all. It feels like waste of time to go through the question section these day !
I sure hope you goes back to your original policy - one stock per question - to the benefit of all members.
Thank you as always,
One of the starting members,
Tak

Q: In my US account, I hold Berkshire, Disney and MasterCard. I was thinking of selling one of these to free up some USD to purchase CRWD for more growth. Which one would you suggest selling if you were in this position?

Or, if it were possible, would you suggest converting some CAD to USD to purchase CRWD, and keep the US stocks that I have already?
Thanks
Robert

Q: The Purpose Bitcoin ETFs have started to trade today. I have read some of the available information on these ETFs but would appreciate your "clear language" interpretation.
Do you expect that the price of these ETFs will essentially match the price of Bitcoin and move up and down with Bitcoin in a relatively real-time manner? Or will it move with market demand?
Can you explain the differences between these two funds? Is it simply that one trades in USD and the other in CAD?

Thanks as always for your clarity.
