Q: This question is about transferring a Canadian stock traded on the TSX that pays dividends in US dollars, like TFII might be doing, to the US dollar side of the trading account and as such, holding the dividends in US dollars rather than the US dollar dividends being translated to Canadian dollars by the broker.

For example, is there a fee or charge to do this transfer? Is there a foreign exchange exchange charge? And when the Canadian stock is to be sold on the TSX, is there a foreign exchange gain or loss?

Any assistance like a link to better understand the ins and outs of this transfer maneuver and the cost implications, if any, would be helpful to me.........Thanks.....Tom

Q: Hi, I'm a new member and have this basic question. Analyst recommendation in a company profile shows recommendations such as Buy, Hold and a number assigned to them. For example, AAPL has 16 for Strong Buy, 3 for Moderate Buy. Is the any FAQ section in the website which can educate me on how to interpret these numbers? What it means to be 16 for strong buy? Is 16 out of 100 or something else? Can I filter stocks which have strong buy recommendation above a certain number say 10 on your website?

Q: The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has opened an in-depth probe into Nvidia Corp's agreement to acquire Arm Ltd. Alphabet Inc, Qualcomm Inc and Microsoft Corp have complained to U.S. antitrust regulators about the deal. Arm Holdings supplies intellectual property to Apple, Qualcomm and a host of others for chips that power nearly all of the world's smartphones.
Should I be concerned? I was of the opinion that this deal is key to NVDA's growth not to mention the global shortage of chips.

Q: Hello,
In the consumer discretionary sector would you consider COTY or ULTA to be attractive? Which one would you pick?

COTY was an offshoot of PG I believe..TOI is from CSU..Does Mark Leonard have any say in the management of TOI? If Topicus were to follow in CSU's footsteps (framework) they would do very well. Are there any such precedents where offshoots have done very well? Why do companies sell of portions of the company? Thanks and happy family day. No rush to answer these questions. Cheers, Shyam

Q: Over the past few weeks I've become increasingly interested in alternative investing, particular with regard to fixed income. I meet the criteria for an accredited investor and could manage an offering memorandum, yet liquid alts look a little more interesting. Three questions: (1) Do you think there's a case to be made to redeploy 5% to 10% of the traditional 60/40 mix into alternatives? (2) Are you guys up for answering some questions about the different liquid alt strategies? (3) If not, any suggestions where a relatively savvy investor would go to get some good independent advise on how to best wade into this asset class?
