Investment Q&A

Q: Happy New Year. Could you please post Total Returns 2024 (including distributions) for the TSX, NASDAQ & S&P markets? Thanks

Q: With the price decline in CSU, would you buy for a TFSA now?

Q: I have both ZWU and ZUT in an RRSP account. For the next 5+ years, should I continue to hold both, or only one. If one, please supply your reasons. ZWU pays a much higher dividend, and has ZUT as it's largest holding, but over the last 5 years it has underperformed ZUT. Is it a case of deciding whether I want more potential growth or more potential income?

Q: For and RRSP long term hold with drip on, what would be your choice in the oil/pipeline industry? With the new admin coming in on Jan20th south of us and hopefully an election here how could that affect this industry. FTS is already owned in the account. Thank you

Q: Happy New Year! WIll you be producing a list of companies that may have been sold off at year end (possibly due to tax loss selling or other) that may provide some good entry points. Thanks and the best to you and your team for 2025.

Q: Happy new year! I read the news that vital hub has issued a short form prospectus, but I don't understand what this means. Does this mean dilution, or is it more positive for the stock? Would it be worth taking a nibble at this point?
