Q: Good evening
Can you please comment on this REIT ? Dividend was not cut since 2013 and according to my broker's record there was considerable insider buying during the last year. Lately it is dropping. Would you consider it a sell, buy or hold ? I will appreciate it if you can also comment on the dividend sustainability
Thanks

Q: If I were to use DLR and DLR.U to convert currency then would this trade need to be reported when filing taxes? I'm not sure as there would not be any capital gain or loss (am I right?) If I do need to report the trade then I assume that I could claim the commission as expenses? Please clarify. Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi 5i,
Have a question about brokerage bank accounts and government guaranties. My understanding is each account could have $100,000 in CDIC if it qualifies and each account generally has $1,000,000 in coverage though another entity. If one has hypothetically $2,000,000 is one account the are at some risk as they are only covered to $1,000,000. Should the person buy treasury bills and stock (companies) in their account as if the bank gets in trouble you still own these assets, I cannot imagine the assets being liquidated and sold in a bankruptcy.

Q: Hi Peter,

I recently discovered ABC company. I hadn't heard of it before. Upon further investigation, I was impressed by its consistent outperformance of estimates and excellent track record. It reminds me of CSU. What is your opinion on this company? Could you provide some pros and cons for long-term investment? Also, are there any other better options in the medical industry?

Best,
Matt

Q: I own SNOW and am down 30%. It has been loudly touted as a future all star stock by folks like Brad Gerstner. But hasn’t lived up to the hype and is about 1/2 of previous highs.

With all the focus on and interest in AI, am I better to hold or add to Snow or sell and buy one or more stock that looks to have better upside potential. Do you have 2-3 favourites ?


Thanks for your help.
