Q: Hi - I'm trying to beef up the fixed income side of my portfolio and non-convertible debentures such as the ones above look like a very interesting alternative to bonds. Their yields are >5.5% and CSU.DB even adjusts its distribution for inflation each year. What am I missing here? It seems like people should be all over these, but their prices don't reflect that.

Q: The CEO of Brookfield made the following comments in recent Letter to Shareholders: "With no meaningful inflation on the horizon and high unemployment numbers, there is an expectation that interest rates will stay low and that stocks that were not bolstered by the pandemic trade will recover....Low interest rates will continue to drive demand for alternative investments. Interest rates appear to be set to stay in a lowish band for several years".

Any thoughts on the low inflation comments? Thanks
Robert

Q: This question is about transferring a Canadian stock traded on the TSX that pays dividends in US dollars, like TFII might be doing, to the US dollar side of the trading account and as such, holding the dividends in US dollars rather than the US dollar dividends being translated to Canadian dollars by the broker.

For example, is there a fee or charge to do this transfer? Is there a foreign exchange exchange charge? And when the Canadian stock is to be sold on the TSX, is there a foreign exchange gain or loss?

Any assistance like a link to better understand the ins and outs of this transfer maneuver and the cost implications, if any, would be helpful to me.........Thanks.....Tom

Q: Hi, I'm a new member and have this basic question. Analyst recommendation in a company profile shows recommendations such as Buy, Hold and a number assigned to them. For example, AAPL has 16 for Strong Buy, 3 for Moderate Buy. Is the any FAQ section in the website which can educate me on how to interpret these numbers? What it means to be 16 for strong buy? Is 16 out of 100 or something else? Can I filter stocks which have strong buy recommendation above a certain number say 10 on your website?

Q: The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has opened an in-depth probe into Nvidia Corp's agreement to acquire Arm Ltd. Alphabet Inc, Qualcomm Inc and Microsoft Corp have complained to U.S. antitrust regulators about the deal. Arm Holdings supplies intellectual property to Apple, Qualcomm and a host of others for chips that power nearly all of the world's smartphones.
Should I be concerned? I was of the opinion that this deal is key to NVDA's growth not to mention the global shortage of chips.
