Investment Q&A

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

Q: Your Q&A goes back a while on cup.u. My cost base is negligible (have owned for 20+ years) and would therefore be hit with a substantial capital gain. I hold it for it's US$ dividend payments of 4.1%. It has a payout ratio of 93% over 5 years and I do not see much growth in the name.
Would you be comfortable holding for income and re-investing the dividends into other US co's that have a greater growth outlook?
Advise me of any potential red flags that I may be missing.
Thank you,
Mike

Q: Andrew McCreath mentioned TD's large position in the Ameritrade deal this morning and expected TD to come out 3% to 5% higher. It didn't just up a little less than 1%. Is there an opportunity here ? Adding a third bank to my portfolio would bring financials up to around 10-12 % depending on how much I bought which wouldn't break my heart anyway......... Thank you for your great service.

Q: I have POW in my TFSA and though it lacks any growth the dividend yield is ok. Wondering if I should think about a switch to IFC to get a bit more growth, though that will reduce the dividend.

(I am recently retired; no DB plan but hopefully more than sufficient assets to see me through to a ripe old age.)

Q: I have the following loss that I can claim as a tax loss- wef = 44% - usa=31% - shop=18% - meg=14% - lspd=16% - Kel=40% gud 30%. My question is there any of these stocks that have any chance they will recover before the 30 buy back period expires? I would hate to sell them and then watch them recover more that the loss that is claimable?- appreciate your thoughts

Q: The company continues to put it steady results and recently completed a private placement at 56 cents.
They have announced a 1 for 8 consolidation along with the initiation of a dividend.
The last reported NAV was 53 cents.
Management is very strong and experienced.
What is your view of the investment merits at current levels?

Q: Good morning all,
In an earlier answer to Dave it was suggested that "we might sell ..... and one of KXS/CSU. For clarification does this mean that you somehow consider KXS and CSU somewhat equivalent? I was surprised to see these two companies considered as one or other type positions and would appreciate a bit of an explanation.
Many thanks,
Brian
