Q: I have used the Financial Post site for convertible debenture quotes for many years. It was an awesome site that providing me with all the info I needed for convertible debentures trading on the TSX. About 4 weeks ago it went away and I have been unable to find another site that was comparable to this one? Does anyone know another site that provides a summary of quotes for Canadian convertible debentures?

Q: On Dec.1 NFI announced the purchase of ARBOC which from what I understand is a competitor of BUS. I have been looking to buy BUS for a while and have been waiting for a pull back like this, I also see some insiders stepping in to buy here, I am thinking part of the sell off is possibly due to maybe some pre knowledge of this takeover by NFI. Do you think this takeover will or could have much of an adverse effect on BUS ability to sustain growth growing forward and would you consider an investment in BUS at this time as part of a portfolios small cap component at maybe an overall 2% portfolio position?

thanks Tom

Q: Hi,
I'm interested in adding a cannabis pharmaceutical to my portfolio and am curious if you have any input or recommendations. I like ISOL but am having a hard time finding reports for them. I'm aware that this is a high risk speculative investment but I feel there's a promising future for CBDs in medicine and would like to start a small position. I've listed a few companies I'm interested in but am open to others.

Thanks

Q: Good Morning 5i
What is your view of this stock? Coming on BNN today at 11:30 or 1:40 Monday. Says it has first Hops derived Non-Cannabis cannabidiol CBD for world-wide medical market. Product not-marijuana based therefore not regulated as heavily world wide. What are your thoughts on whether this has legs? Any financials or discussions world-wide showing demand potential for such a product?
Thanks.

Q: Good morning Peter and team,

I am planning on setting aside 3% of my total portfolio for stocks that either have a good potential for long-term growth (i.e. set it aside and hope to have a multi-bagger in 10 years).
I currently own SHOP and would appreciate 3-4 more names you would suggest I consider, including a way to play the Artificial Intelligence space (is Horizons ROBO ETF a suitable option?).
Please disregard all B.E. Portfolio stocks (which I already own) and sector/market cap don't matter. I would prefer to stick to Canadian exchanges.

Thanks in advance,
Rory

Q: With Web Broker I have US stocks in my RRSP account. I also have US Stocks in my US open account.
In my US account itself my overall cost for stock purchases is just below the $100,000 level so I don't need to fill out the T1135 Foreign Property form.

I now have cash building up in my US open account. To avoid going over the $100,000 cost level, yet still wanting to receive increasing dividends in USD, would it make sense to purchase Canadian stocks listed on the NYSE that pay dividends in USD? My goal is to have USD dividends coming in for travel south during retirement. I am assuming I would receive the dividend credit for Canadian-based stocks listed on the NYSE (?)
