Q: Good afternoon 5i
Taxes. If i buy a US stock with US dollars and sell it several years later. What happens. I know that i have to report the sale in Canadian dollars. But, i imagine that i will have to calculate the exchange rates on those two dates, no? It seems odd, since it was both bought and sold in US dollars.
Thanks

Q: Greetings:
Starbucks seems to have good growth, and cash flow, but negative shareholder equity like most of the tobacco companies. It also seems like they have a problem with CEO'S. Mr. Schultz has to be on call to return when needed. Presently he is retiring from the board. I notice that some members of 5i have shares. Good investment and growth expected? or will it be flat until it finds its bearings.
Thanks, Ben.

Q: I have held CP for some time now. Although it has fluctuated somewhat, it seems to be range bound. Do you see it having much potential to increase? I am starting to consider swapping it for FSV, which seems to just steadily increase. Any comment on that switch?

Many thanks

Q: Everyone, Richard asked a question about advisors, I don’t use one and never will. They only care about your money so they can have more assets under management- which is a status symbol for THEM. I used four advisors for two years fifteen and sixteen years ago and during our six month conversations I realized I knew more than them! So I started doing research and buying / selling on my own. I only buy the best of the best. Best decision I made and I am making more than twice the average rate of return most people are earning by buying and holding only good quality stocks. Staff at 5iresearch helps me every day with honest responses to questions. My thoughts Clayton.
