Q: Morning gents. Can you please explain or provide detail on why one would purchase a US listed stock (eg: NTR, BAM, WCN) vs. the same Canadian listed stock. I assume that payment of US currency dividends is one reason but are there others? Where best to hold US listed stocks from a tax perspective (registered or cash account)? Truly a great service. Thx. Steve

Q: Greetings,
I am getting close to retirement so starting to shift my portfolio to get a better balance of income and growth. Is now the time to start looking at preferred shares of companies that appear to be fully priced. For example, BAM. A appears expensive but the preferreds esp the perpetuals, BAM.PR.N appear cheap on a relative basis. I already own BAM.A but wanting to keep for the growth but want to add the Preferred to get more income. Does this seem reasonable given where the preferreds are currently trading.
thanks as always for your advise.

Q: I had been considering a purchase of BPY.un, but upon looking at their 2018 taxable income calculation, I see that while the full-year distribution was Cdn$ 1.64155, the total tax allocation to be reported was $2.47504. I'm interested in achieving less taxable income, not more. So, scrolling further down, there was another table for 2018 Canadian taxable income for a fund called Brookfield Office Properties Exchange L.P. , with the same full-year distribution, but entirely return of capital. However, I cannot find any information on this particular fund, so I'm hoping you can help out.
Q: Any ideas why COV jumped up 18% today? I know it is low volume but I have been holding it for a while thinking that It was being unfairly judged by circumstance. I am still holding it because I have sold stocks in the past just before they jumped up, sometimes I have sold stock the day before they jumped up 25 to 30%. i.e. I sold CSU a few years back because it had gone up to $135.00 per share. I panicked thinking that a 30% profit should be taken. Lesson learned.
Q: Have held this stock for a little over two years. Continue to hold or move on? If so, do you have another one or two recommendations? Thank you, Bill.
Q: Comparing Brookfield Properties to Fortis without including dividends except when considering overall growth potential which would you prefer for a two to five year hold?

Q: Good afternoon,
I would like your take (pros and cons) on the following please. I have owned Sylogist for some time, am comfortable with SYZ and familiar with it's trading pattern. The position is in my TFSA and after trimming at the top is still at these levels up approx 50% on the balance.
I am thinking of moving it into my cash account and with the current yield treating it like an income stock with some growth potential. I would also top it up SYZ to a 2.5% position.
I would then replace the value in my TFSA when making my 2020 contribution with the intent of purchasing a more “hopefully” growthy”stock.
I hope this is not too much like asking for personal advice.
Thank you for your input.
Brian
