Investment Q&A

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

Q: If you had to own one Brookfield entity for total return which would it be? I hold BIP & BN, would it make sense to sell BIP and invest it in BN? What percentage of the subsidiaries does it own?

Q: Hello, it would seem that AXP has experienced a pullback and looks undervalued compared to its peers. Would you consider AXP a buy over MA and/or V ?

Q: Good morning,

I'm looking at buying an ETF that tracks the S&P 500 for my TFSA account and am considering VFV.CA.

Withholding tax is a concern and given that VFV.CA holds US stocks, would there be a withholding tax on any of the dividends distributed and if so would you kindly recommend a few other similar ETFs that track the S&P 500 where the withholding tax is not a concern. Thank you.

Q: You last looked at this in 2022 and didn't sound very good. But the stock stopped going down in October and has been driving higher since then, especially over the last few months. Has something changed with Comcast's fortunes?

Q: For a non registered account which etfs would your recommend for broad US and for tech exposure and what max weighting would you recommend allocating to these 2 etfs? Would these 2 etfs be the best for US exposure for the TFSA also or would you suggest different ones?
Thanks for your help.

Q: AAPL has had a great run.

This is probably a non-obvious question what any leads on what would be an AAPL-like stock circa pre-iPhone?

Q: hello 5i:
more questions/clarification on the CSU warrants:
first, warrants do not HAVE to be exercised, and CSU would wind up with both Series 1 and Series 2 bonds, correct?
second, how do you see trading in the bonds affected? eg. as Series 2 can't be called before 2040, would this make them more valuable than Series 1? Or, if they can be called at any time, would this make them less valuable.
third, the interest rate for the bonds will still follow the same criteria for both Series 1 and Series 2?
fourth, using $10,000 (a round number that makes calculations easier), a holder would then receive 100 warrants? What about numbers that would involve parts of warrants eg. $111,100
thanks for straightening this out

Q: Public storage and cell tower stocks are down significantly this year. Were they simply over-valued previously? Assuming interest rates will stabilize, do you feel that they may offer above average returns going forward? Your favourites listed on US and Canadian exchanges?
