Investment Q&A

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

Q: Federal Liberals are reviewing tax treatment of residential REITS claiming "(REITs) are increasingly trying to amass large portfolios of Canadian rental housing, putting upward pressure on rents,” the announcement states, “We will put in place policies to curb excessive profits in this area"

Clearly such a restriction would not be good for REITs but as TCN is the only name I own in this space could I expect it to not be impacted?

Q: CTC.A: I notice that you are not a fan of this company? Well, I looked at the 30 year graph this am., and, all I can say is: I wish I had bought it way back then. I did buy it in 2020 for $96.00. Always wanted to own, but always seemed expensive. I did this exercise for all my "dividend grower" stocks which make up the core of my investments (including all the banks which I own); and guess what? The graphs go up from left to right - so, my returns are huge without including all the dividends which I reinvested.
I'd love an analysis to support your negative view please. Look, will the internet and ordering on-line I can see why you might thing this way; however, CTC just keeps chugging along.

Q: Good Morning,
I would like your opinion on what you see as the next multibillion growth industry? Is it the Metaverse, EV charging industry, or is it something else?
Thanks

Q: Can you explain the difference between CDIC insurance and CIPF insurance? My understanding was that CDIC insurance covers bank accounts up to $100,000 each, and CIPF insurance covers investment/brokerage accounts, $1M limit each.
If I have $500,000 in my RRSP account with RBC Direct Investing, invested in a mix of Stocks, ETF's, GIC's and Cash, is that all covered under the CIPF insurance?
I'm confused when I see people's questions about trying to spread their money out to stay under the $100,000 limit, when they seem to be talking about investment accounts.... Thank you!

Your comments are much appreciated.
