Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good evening,

Due to an oversight I have three dividend paying US equities in my cash account. These dividends are subject to withholding taxes.

I’m not sure if this is up your alley but can these stocks be switched with Canadian dividend stocks (of equal value) in my RRIF?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Q: can you suggest some good CAD and US listed stocks that have good exposure to the water theme that I can do some further research on. It seems water is a very precious commodity with our changing climate issues.

thanks

Q: David Rosenberg has recommended a mix split nearly evenly among long-dated US treasuries, high-yield bond and high-paying dividend stocks for investors seeking a favourable return with reduced overall volatility. My questions are:
1) are long-dated US treasuries the same as bonds?
2) how long would you go?
3)could you recommend a long-dated US treasury ETF and a high-yield bond?
thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
I am turning 72 and moving from an RRSP to a RIF and think this portfolio should be more orientated towards income.

In that light I wonder if you could suggest some replacement stocks for the non dividend paying TMUS and DIS on the US side of my RIF? Thanks as usual for you help.
David

Q: This person took the words right out of my mouth, as the saying goes. Well done 5i

"Q: You have taken some heat on WELL and some other small caps, so I thought we would throw in a comment for some balance. In mid March I was thinking of taking a flyer on FRC and you were very cautious about such an idea. You said, and I paraphrase, 'we don't like stocks than can potentially go to zero'. That was enough to keep me on the sidelines. Now, FRC is down about 65% since then, and might not make it through the weekend. I wanted to thank you for your advice, and sometimes the 'don't buys' are good as or better than the buy ideas. Thank you for your service and keep up the good work."

Q: I hold JNJ, PFE and CVS in the health care sector. Are JNJ and PFE sufficiently different to warrant holding both? Would you recommend an alternative (and for which one)?

Q: In yesterdays webinar it was reiterated that the $540m financing package (50% from Economic Development Canada) would be finalized in early May.
Major shareholders include Sibanye Stillwater, Sprott, Lundin, Osiko as well as insiders.
Permits are expected Q2 for tree cutting, other permits in Q3/Q4, and the final permits Jan. 2024.
Why do you think Genm languishes at a $100m market cap at this stage of development.

Thank you
