Investment Q&A

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

Q: Following up on your recent answer re H&R distributions. You note that 58% of the return is "return of capital". I have always considered "return of capital" as giving me my own money back in the sense that it changes my adjusted cost base by the same amount so that I end up paying tax on it when I sell the shares. ie it is giving me my own money back because the company did not earn enough to fully cover the dividend and is therefore not a real earning.
Can you enlighten me on this? ie is "return of capital" really a benefit in the long run?
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and team:
Since you've made the announcement that you are moving into A&W for the portfolio, it has run-up significantly. I want to buy it for the dividend and have been waiting for a pull-back that has yet to happen.
Is it still a good time to jump in?

Thanks!

Q: I am watching the sell off in this stock with some interest. I notice it is classified as a consumer cyclical. That has me scratching my head a bit. I was wondering if you had any further comment on the stock and its classification? Is it worth initiating a position at this price?

TIA

Q: According to Cramer ,"Qualcomm has become a lawsuit stock. I can't take the risk."
It is down .48% again today ... After holding this for a year I am now down 5.55% with prospects of it gong down further. (???) The problems with the Chinese has been know for months ... Do you think QCOM will just erode away from here ? What would you do if you were in my shoes ? My US investments so far have been an total disaster thanks to GTAT , GSK, and RIG .
I just keep on picking bad situations .

Is it a LULL as you said in October, or is this something to be more concerned about. Thanx
