Investment Q&A

Q: GH or TDOC; which stock do you believe has the most growth going forward? High risk investor. Would you have another that you would prefer?

Q: My TFSA has too many holdings (with various weightings from 3 to 13%), and there appear to be some good buying opportunities at the moment with some of these. I quite like all of these stocks and need some help identifying which 5 or 6 to sell and which 5 or 6 to buy with sale proceeds (those which have been most punished for no good reason and fundamentals are still sound).

AAPL, ATA, BAM.A, ENPH, GSY, KXS, MMX, PBH, SIS, SHOP, TFII, VEEV, WELL, WSP

So far all I’ve come up with is

One on the chopping block: cleanup small position: MMX – also it strikes me as neither a growth nor income stock.

Definite keepers: ATA, ENPH, TFI, WSP (all seem to be thriving)

Thanks

Jim

Q: Is there a Canadian Dollar equivalent to the

Q: Hi
I am having difficulty knowing when to cut my losses and sell my shares or hang on and hope they go back up. Can I please have some advice regarding when to sell shares at a loss? I have included my four biggest losses and wondering if I could get some advice on which of the following I should cut my losses and sell.
Thank you
APLI purchased in Sep 2020 for $1.21, now down 90%
DYA purchased in Feb 2020 for $1.23 now down 80%
MRS purchased in April 2021 for $0.65 now down 56%
FVI acquired for $6.90 when Fortuna Silver merged Roxgold (ROXG) jul 2021 now down 40%
Thank you

Q: What is your opinion to initiate a position on this company today for a long-term investor? Thank you!

Q: I recently sold my full positions in both of these banks and realized significant capital gains to use as income in my RRIF. Most big banks stocks have climbed since increasing their dividends so I'm not sure which one or two to buy next. I have done well over the years by buying the laggards, collecting dividends and waiting for conditions to improve. Which relatively poor performers would you suggest I consider next and why?

Q: Can you please comment on these 2 REITS.
How do you see them performing in the next 3 years?
Do you see them as good holdings?
They have been trading sideways compared to TCN.

Thank you

Q: Hi, I am interested in learning more about options trading. While I’ve dabbled with it for years, (selling puts and calls and buying calls), I have a very superficial understanding in this area. Are there any courses you could recommend excluding those that require prerequisites. Thank you.

Q: If the ECN dividend is setup as a DRIP, how is the price of the new purchased shares determined? Is it end of day value or is there a price guarantee of some sort? I guess what I'm wondering is, will the automatic purchase of new shares from the special dividend effect the market value of the shares on the dividend payout date?

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I toyed with doing this on the Forum but didn't know how to start a new discussion thread.

I would like to ask if any 5i member has experience (anecdotal or otherwise) with US probates. Since so many of us hold US stocks in our portfolios, and it's almost certain they will be considered US property in our estate when the time comes, I'm quite keen to know what the ramifications are and if it is as big a headache as I imagine.

Perhaps you could also tell me how to move any further discussion onto the Forum. Thanks a lot.

Q: Pardon my ignorance if I’m missing something with this question. I understand that the market worries about leveraged companies in an inflationary environment, and that is a legitimate concern with real consequences. But at the same time, as the price (in dollars) per unit of value increases, so must the price of those same companies that have a tangible value. Holding a company whose stock price might decline in the short to medium term due to market worries but whose fundamental value will eventually be measured in more dollars (ie a higher share price) due to that same inflation seems a whole lot better than holding cash whose buying power erodes as the price per unit of value increases. Is that a fair argument?

Q: This has gotten increasingly confusing.

Can you please confirm how the due bill works?

If shareholders were to sell when would be the last day they could and not receive the dividend?

If shareholders were to sell and want to be still paid the dividend what is the earliest date one could sell?

Q: Please comment on Q results & guide released tonight.Txs for u usual great services & views

Q: Both companies are trading at roughly a third of their 52 week highs. Being such you have answered recent questions saying they are expensive. I assumed they wouldn't be. At what price are they not expensive and what metric do you use for this. I'm trying to improve my investing skills and make some sense of this.

Thanks Steve

Q: wondering about pins and your thoughts about them.

Q: Gregory asked for a list of books on investing. I just came across this list on the Kiplinger website, which may prove useful.

Q: The above 2 stocks had a one day rally the other day. Since then they have fallen below technical support levels. Has your opinion on them changed? With hold ratings, I find most holds just continue to go down. Waiting to hear. Thank you.

Q: I'm in the process of rebuilding my portfolio for 2022. It would be helpful if you could share with me a list of both Canadian and American companies that meet the following criteria:
1. They are some of your favourite companies from a fundamental perspective
2. They are currently buying back their own shares.
3. They offer a decent dividend.
4. They run businesses that offer good growth prospects for next year.
5. They currently offer good value.
6. These companies are so solid they would classify as 'core ' holdings.
At least six companies in each list would be appreciated.

Finally, I would like to express my gratitude for the support and ideas you have shared this past year. Definitely one of the best advisory services available to Canadians,

Q: Hello. I hold this US REIT in my margin account. Could you explain the tax consequences of the payout distribution? Would you prefer this type of holding in a register account? Thank you.

Q: NEO Exchange CDR product. I cannot determine how the hedging works by adjusting the CRR exchange ratio, being the actual shares held. Do you follow it.
It appears that both the exchange gain and loss are eliminated by adjusting the number of shares held.
What is the cost of having this hedge. Where is that disclosed.
