Investment Q&A

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

Q: Lots of questions about this one.

One argument I've heard for why the stock isn't up on the dividend news is that the dividend isn't tax efficient for US holders, who evidently own about 40% of ECN float. That coupled with the embedded gains and worry about taxes increasing has them selling now, and the CDN demand for those shares being sold isn't enough to push the stock price higher.

If this is true, it may limit the near term opportunities even after the dividend if Americans feel burned that they didn't get a good deal out of a great deal made by ECN.

That all said, I've added to my already large position due largely to management and they're proven abilities.

My 2 cents, curious what you think.

Q: Watched a very interesting interview with an analyst on BNN yesterday making the case for therapeutics as the way forward for battling new Covid variants (as opposed to MRNA booster shots). Made interesting points and suggested a few stocks. Two are very small but SRNE is a reasonably sized Co. What does the book look like for this one?

TIA

Q: VQS jumped after that Alta Fox report a few months ago, but has fallen back a little. Do you like VQS now that it has come down a little, and do you see it as a stock that has long-term potential to out perform (or do you like some other small/mid cap companies better e.g. SYZ)

Q: Hello

With the current chip shortages, what is your view on Lam Research.
Is it a good hold for the next 5 yrs ? And at what price do you consider a good entry point? Or would you rather recommend another semi conductor company?

I hold TRP and I want to know if you see it as a good hold as an income stock?
What is your general view on the company going forward.

Thank you

Q: Out of curiosity, if you've maxed out your TFSA contributions, had gains and withdrew, say $100,000, are you allowed to put back $100,000 the next year or only the max contribution allowance?

Thanks

Dave
