Q: I am a 21 year old investor with a long investment horizon. In my TFSA, both CPH and MRE have stagnated and I am thinking of selling these and moving on. Would you endorse this move and if so, could you recommend your top 2 names (any sector) to replace them?

Thank You!

Q: Hello.
Looks like your comments are trending to the negative side as stock price makes its way lower. Waiting to watch this low seems wasteful.

You have written "keep an eye on at this level".
Do you mean get ready to sell because of the disaster that others may no about or be favorable to picking stock at this level?

Peter, it is really hard to see you as a Fund manager holding on to a stock like this with real capital.

Your clarification on keep and eye would be good.
thanks
Dave

Q: I notice that members often have questions regarding how distributions from their ETF/mutual fund are categorized for tax purposes. I have found the following website extremely helpful:

https://services.cds.ca/applications/taxforms/taxforms.nsf/Pages/-EN-LimitedPartnershipsandIncomeTrusts?Open

Here, one can access the T3 for every ETF available, and can see even a month to month breakdown for those securities that distribute monthly. Very helpful for reconciling ACB and completing tax returns. Please post if you think this will be helpful to other members.

Q: What are the chances of Wsp increasing the dividend -it has been the same for at least the last 5 years. Given that the stock price is up nicely this month I wonder if it isn't time to move on to a higher dividend stock or a stock with dividend growth for my income account. What do you think and what would you suggest as a replacement -I own most of the stocks in your income portfolio.
Thank you.

Q: I own this ETF an I am wondering about its behaviour especially taxwise. I received a dividend of about $500.00 at the beginning of this year. Then the dividend was subtracted as a drip but I didn't receive any shares for the drip. I think I read that it was simply reinvested in the pool. I question this as the price went down, not up. Also, this company sent me a T3 tax receipt stating that I had received capital gains of $531.00. It seems to me this ETF is acing very much like a mutual fund. I'd like your opinion please.
