Investment Q&A

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

Q: Your Flash Update review of BAD was on-the-whole encouraging, but when I look at price action over 2014 to 2019, I see a safe but essentially static business. Yes, its dividend is secure, but any Big 5 bank pays twice as much. Given the effects of the current shutdown on municipal budgets, and the carnage still underway in the oil patch, I have to wonder if its appreciation potential is now baked-in. What am I missing?

Q: I just received a notification of a class action suit and it advises that you must opt out by March 25, 2020 which date has come and gone.
I guess I have no choice now .. I am part of the class action. Will this create a problem for me .. what should I do? I have been involved in stocks as part of a class action. The forms and info requiredwere very time-consuming and received pennies on the dollar for it.
AYX, AMD, NVDA, TTD, FIVN, and CRM. What type of ETFs would have these type of stocks in them? I was with Dundee Private Vestors for a very long time one of their very top picks was the Sprott Growth Fund which I did well by .. manager Peter Hodson. Thanks Dennis

Q: Hello, you say that in a RRSP or RIF both BIP.UN and BIPC are economically equivalent. When one looks at the company profile of both, only BIP.UN shows a dividend yield of 5.1%. The company profile of BIPC does not show any dividend. Is it because BIPC is a new company that has just been listed? Will the dividend of BIPC be the exact same of BIP.UN? Regards, Gervais

Q: I am a Canadian and have built up a good position in BPY.UN during this sell-off. Their website says their distributions are to dividends but Flow Thru (income) and taxed in the hands of shareholders.

They supposedly issue T5013s.

Is it better to hold in RRSP/TFSA or non-registered?

If I am borrowing to invest in a non-registered, do you think the interest can be written off taxes like buying other securities can be?

Thank you
Bruce

Q: what would be your top few picks for an ETF to ad global and US exposure to a portfolio that is lacking that? interested more in tech, industrial, basic materials and consumer defence/cyclical but would be ok looking into any sector if you think they would be a better choice.
thanks

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

As luck would have it after being under water for two years on GILD I dumped it at $63.

It’s gone straight since then mostly because of a possible covid vaccine . I note you like it and while I obviously hope they or someone has a vaccine soon , I wonder about your thoughts for it going forward if they do not come up with a vaccine for covid .

Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: I was involved in the Tech crash, the Financial crash and now the the Covid crash. I learned to have good quality stocks, be patient, and the stock market will be higher after this ends than before this crisis started - believe in capitalism. I also would like to thank you and your team for giving investors sound, well thought out and realistic advice. Give knowledge to others that you would give yourself and use knowledge NOT emotion. Take care and stay healthy.
