Investment Q&A

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

Q: Do all four of these have dividends that are taxed differently and therefore shouldn't be in a non-registered? Does this apply to a TFSA as well, as foreign income I believe is taxed in a TFSA?

Where should I hold each of these? in an RRSP, TFSA or non-registered?

Q: I am thinking about selling my AQN shares and buying CCL shares for a couple of reasons, more growth and to get into the stock pre-split. Do you think this move is okay?

Q: Mainly for entertainment purposes, I listen to Jim Cramer. Something he said stuck with me. He said that one of his greatest mistakes was to not invest during the last oil downturn. That he missed the 50% plus recovery. Historically, isn't the time to buy the energy sector when the price of WTI is cut in half from its high? I'm thinking of buying SurgeEnergy, which has increased the dividend twice recently, so that for once, I'm not one of the last to buy an energy stock, which was the case in 2014! Can you punch a hole in my line of thought?

Q: Dear 5i
I am two years away from retirement and currently switching over my portfolio to a self directed acct at Questrade .
I want to be fairly conservative in my portfolio and feel that a 30% Equity 70% Fixed income would be appropriate .
I will be using 5i for stock selection . I`m just uncertain if 70% Fixed income is too much or not considering possible interest rate hikes down the road . Are there other fixed income investments other than Bond ETF`s , GIC`s cash etc . Also with bond etf`s are both interest and yield paid or is it one or the other only ?
Thanks

Q: i am thinking about full position in both SIS and PBH. I bought a little SIS before Xmas but wonder if I should move in another direction on these 2 as they have done very well recently. I have been contemplating for a while but wonder if I should wait for a pull back. Would KXS or GSY be another option? I am not to heavy in any of these sectors.
On another note I bought SHOP a while back, thanks! Your team has been a wealth of knowledge.

Q: I know you longer have CGX in your portfolio but if one want to keep this stock and is 7% of the portfolio should I sell to make it a 3% holding? It is in my daughter TFSA and do wonder if she should sell all and replace with one of technology stock as she has only PHO.V as her technology holding and has many years hopefully before needing the money.

Thanks

Q: Recently I asked a question about Crius "Where are the earnings?"

You replied on April 19th that "Crius made 44 million last year." I had hoped for something more detailed but I obviously should have asked a more detailed question.

To that end, Crius lost 74.9 million the year before (2015) although part of it was one time. If you combined the two years, the payout is hardly 60% of earnings.

My questions are:

1) Has Crius had positive earnings in years prior to 2016? I understand it's a relatively new company and a series of losses aren't that unusual.
2) I feel that you think Crius has turned a corner at this point and 2016 will be more typical than 2015. If so, could you explain your reasoning. I'm considering an investment.
