Q: It looks like Uranium Participation Corp is being taken over to the new Sprott Physical Uranium Trust later this year with a owners getting 1/2 unit for each common share. The shares will be delisted from the TSX and they plan to list in the US.

As a long suffering owner of U:CA, is it better to just sell my shares now or hold on through these management changes ?
It is held in my RRSP so there are no tax considerations here.

What happens during the time of delisting and hopeful new US listing; or should that happen on the same day?

Do you have other considerations that I should look for here?

Thanks for your advice.

Q: Hi 5i,

Please help me understand something. Was the recent substantial run up in LIF's price since mid June followed by today's substantial decline of over 6% all attributable to the special dividend of $1.75 that was announced on June 15 with an ex-date of today? Are there those out there who chase dividend payouts even if it means putting up 40K to realize 1.75K, while also assuming the risk that the stock might head south?

If so, is there anything to be learned about LIF's future prospects from the recent dividend driven activity and, if not dividend driven, what else might have caused such a decline today? For such a pricey stock it seems pretty volatile.

Thanks for your insight.

Q: Hello Team,

I have held BLK and MCO for about 1 1/2 years and my total returns as of now, are 83% and 77%, respectively. I have a feeling that the easy money has already been made on these 2 stocks and therefore should put my money on something else.
May I please have your comments on these companies going forward and your thoughts on what I plan on doing, would be appreciated.
Cheers,
H

Q: Hi Team,

I am interested in diversifying my portfolio into small cap value ETFs in the U.S. and outside the U.S. With respect to the above, I am considering investing in VIOV and AVDV. Are there other ETFs that you would recommend that I should look into with respect to small cap value ETFs in the U.S. and outside the U.S.


Thanks

Q: How do you go about calculating annualized returns on a stock that you've purchase across multiple dates? For example, in my portfolio I purchase PLTR 3 times, at 3 different prices. Questrade calculates a weighted total return using a weighted cost per share. However, the % just represents the absolute return to date. If I try to annualize this, can I do it without having to use each individual transaction date? Similar to the weighted cost per share, could I do the same calculation for the hold period? Any guidance or resources you could provide would be helpful here, as I've found online resources lacking in this general area.
Thanks!

Q: Hi. I’m writing in response to Andrew’s earlier question regarding whether or not he needs to report BEP.UN on his T1135. I’d looked into this earlier this year for BEPC, BIPC, BIP.UN and BEP.UN. Brookfield’s web site addresses this specifically. Below is the link, and direct quote.

https://bep.brookfield.com/stock-and-distribution/tax-information

“Are units considered foreign property for the purposes of the Canada Revenue Agency T-1135 Form – Foreign Income Verification Statement?
No.”

Hope this assists.

Regards

Q: Hello,

Enjoying the upgrades! Having success with semi-conductor ETF's as a cyclical play in the past.
Would you still be buyers for the next 2 years?
And could I get your thoughts on Invescos new fund in comparison to the heavyweights.
