Q: May I please have your thoughts on the current Canadian dollar strength,
and whether you think it might be timely to convert funds to US dollars?
With my portfolio currently weighted about 25% in US currency I'm finding (as usual) multiple and developing opportunities in the US, but with the larger Canadian component significantly in cash. I'm not sure how deep an exposure to the US dollar should be reasonably targeted.
Thanks in advance for your opinion.

Q: I have a 40% profit in NGLOY and I'm wondering aout exiting. I assume it is riding the copper price and the strenghening industrials but it has an interest in multiple minerals. The weird asset is deBeers. The dividend is great but the P/E seems low relative to peers. Is deBeers dragging this down? Is this a good time to sell or rather hold?

Q: According to their latest annoucement Athabasca is going to hedge 75% of their production at $66 for the next 18 months. With oil prices rising does this seem like a good idea and what would this do to the leverage of the company in the future? Also this was one of the highest leveraged companies for it size, is it still when compared to other similar sized companies.

Q: I have been holding BIP.UN for several years. Does it make to sell it and buy BIPC to get tax advantage. BIPC is about 3.5% more expensive than BIP.UN, which has narrowed down significantly in the last couple of years. Why did the difference narrow down so much and can it narrow down even further? Thanks.

Q: I own these 3 REITs in my RRSP. I have done extremely well on them and I have reduced my positions. Given that they are REITs and have recovered nicely from the Covid lows, I am debating exiting the positions completely since their upside potential has been reduced. They will never have explosive growth and since they are no longer depressed does it make sense to exit the positions and look for opportunities elsewhere where there is more upside. The dividends are not that large so I don't feel I am missing out from an income perspective.

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Hello Peter,
Are there any issues with having BEP,UN in a TFSA? Is it similar to investing in any other dividend paying stocks in a TFSA ( in terms of receiving dividends ): there are no extra forms to fill out as it is a limited partnership.. Also, if the company is not profitable, what is the thesis of investing in it: great cash flow, part of BAM, and the right sector such as renewable energy. From a fundamental basis, is it better than investing in AQN or NPI?

Q: WPT Industrial REIT was bought by Blackstone on Oct 22, and I was surprised to see the breakdown of purchase details. Of the $22.00 purchase price, approx 19% was paid as disposition price and 81% as a giant dividend. This seems very unusual and costs the holder a chunk of money reflecting difference between dividend and cap gain taxation. I must say this seems unfair. Any comments?
