Investment Q&A

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

Q: I had the misfortune of investing in this company (hint: never take investing advice from a neighbour!) prior to the Cease Trade Order being issued. Is there any possibility that it will resume trading on the TSX at some point in the future. If not, can I sell my shares through my Canadian Webbroker account on the OTC Pink Sheets exchange?

Q: My understanding (misunderstanding?) is that MLPs are subject to very high withholding taxes when held by Canadians. From some comments on MLPs I've seen in the past, I had the impresssion that its not always possible to determine the cost of the fees.
1. Does the fact that AMZA is an ETF of MLPs (rather than an MLP itself) change any of this?
2. Is the withholding a fixed percent of the distribution or does it vary based on the make up of the distribution?
3. Is there an account type that would be better or worse to hold this ETF?

Thanks,

Q: I hold SDOW with a tight stop. Am considering using Am considering using HSD as a further hedge(again with a tight stop) to increase my hedge against a downturn. Other than the fact it tracks S and P 500, is a double bear rather than triple, and is Canadian listed, would HSD work similarly? Am a sophisticated investor, thanks for your comments, Bill

Q: Hi 5i
I've read 5i posts regarding insider selling recently The Ink insiders buying report indicates recent buying of about $3M by director.
In your opinion does this increase your confidence in the company's share price going forward and if so to what degree? Or is it simply not that relevant currently?

Would you add to existing position at these levels?

Thx
JIm

Q: Thanks for the great service. I feel like I have become too heavy on tech and healthcare and not well-diversified globally. Can you suggest some small and large caps that you would buy today?
