Q: Hi Gang, I owned BIP.UN for years in a non registered account and if I don't mind writing off the capital gains against capital losses this year, would I be better to put all the proceeds from BIP.UN into BIPC going forward because of the tax credit.
Thank you
Anthony

Q: You mentioned in your report that clients are mostly retailers and restaurants. Is it mainly for very small businesses? If so, is it not much harder to scale since growth and $ per client is somewhat limited.

Is their product for online stores as well or only retail locations?

How do you like management? Since it has voting control I was hoping to see a bigger stake in the company.

I understand it s higher risk. Do you see the stock as a good/great pick for TFSA long term (5 years +)?

Thank you for your comments. I am just tying to add some tech exposure with stong growth to my portfolio.

Q: What ETFs best mirror selling put options on the S&P 500, the Nasdaq, and the Dow? Would they be a viable hedge against a falling market without having to sell individual long term positions that I wish to continue holding?

Q: Are currency exchanges using a DLR/DLR.U transaction to be reported on one's income tax return? The transaction will usually result in a small loss when the commission is factored in. (It would seem odd to be able to claim this loss, when you can't write off the fee for exchanging dollars at the bank!)

Q: Hi team,

Are energy shares a good long-term investment any more or should they simply be looked at as a trade? Given the lack of pipelines in Canada and the fact that the World is shifting away from oil and gas at higher prices, do energy stocks really have a long term potential? Or should we buy them on weakness and sell them into strength. Hard to grow the business and revenues, apart from acquisitions, when revenues are dependent on a commodity that is at the whim of certain government action or inaction.

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Hi Peter,

Atrium announced yesterday that it will redeem its convertible bonds a month early (from end of June to beginning of May 2020). What is the purpose of this? Also, is it common for companies to have double digit dividend yields and not have any cuts? I understand that mortgage investment corps are more unique as they have to pay out all of their income which explains the high payout ratio (it's expected).

Q: Can you tell me what you think of Restoration Hardware... how it is priced (PE etc or whatever multiple you think is relevant), if you like it etc?

It has fallen a LOT (understandably) but I think it could do well once this is over.... also i think a lot of people are spending a lot of time in their house finding things they hate about it and will probably want to do some reno's after this is over!

Q: I have a loss on BIP but I like the fund. It would seem wise to sell the BIP and buy BIPC. Would this violate the capital gains loss?
