Q: Hello Peter,
I know you have answered this about Topicus special dividend. I find it odd that in the early stages of the company's existence , it is paying out a special dividend. Could this be a sign that the company sees little appetite for acquiring companies and will focus on organic growth? What is a good etf that excludes the magnificent 7 , SPY minus magnificent 7.. Appreciate it and thanks for the service.

Q: Hi 5i Team - I have heard some concerns about other countries withdrawing money from the TSX and probably the Vancouver exchange as well. Am assuming that this is through the sale of equities and then withdrawing the proceeds. Am not sure which countries or how many. Could you comment on whether this a valid concern, and if so then how might it affect prices of Canadian equities going forward.
Thanks.

Q: Good morning. I hold the above stocks in my TFSA. Together they now account for approx. 6% of my TFSA. I am thinking I'd like to consolidate them into one or possibly two positions. Which would you choose to keep if you went that route. Alternatively can you suggest one or two Canadian and one or two American growth stocks to take their place. I already hold full positions of CSU, LMN, TOI, NVDA, and SHOP. Thanks for your advice, Rod

Q: BAM and BN charts are almost the same and over 6 months there is only about a 1% difference in price appreciation, even though PE and dividend yield are very different. Any idea why this is happening and if/when it might change? Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Team - If a company is listed on both the U.S. and Canadian exchanges, do you have an opinion on which would be the better choice, I realize that this may be a bit of a complex question with a number of variables to consider so if you could address just a couple of those variables that would be great.
As a corollary do U.S. dividends need to claimed in RRSP's and TFSA's.
Thanks.

Q: Hello,

I wanted to discuss Pfizer, a company with a dividend yield of 6%. Its yield and growth prospects appear more appealing than those of many other dividend stocks, including those in the telecommunication and utility sectors.

My question is: What is your opinion on purchasing Pfizer as a dividend stock for my RRSP and waiting for its recovery? Do you anticipate that it will regain market momentum either this year or sometime next year?

Thank you for your insights!

Q: Long term dividend growth investor recently retired. Thinking about reducing my position in TD. While the dividend growth has been good, the stock price and earning have not. The consensus earning forecast doesn't look good either. As far as I can tell, the only reason for hope is that the CEO's unofficial 10 yr term is coming to an end. Some say that it will get better once the money laundering matter is behind them, but I'm not so sure. The problem seems to be earnings or lack of them.

Can I get your outlook for TD?

Q: Alaris reports on March 13. I already have a mostly full position (relative to it's market cap and risk level....ie; not a full position like some of the blue chips I own, like BCE, BNS, FTS, RY, TRP, etc.), but am considering adding a bit more at this level. Good USA small cap exposure with a great dividend and good upside potential (at least I think so).

Add before they report or after? Ya I know....don't add based on one quarterly report. Your current thoughts on Alaris please.

Thanks...Steve
