Investment Q&A

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor. Long, long term holder of BCE in my wife's cash account. Sold it in mid-Nov, captured a $12k cap loss, and plan to buy it back next week....prior to the ex-dividend date.

I am ok buying it at the roughly $38 level, even if it floats around that level for the short to medium term. I understand that there might even be some further downside risk. I plan to buy around 1400 shares, either in one shot or maybe 2-3 tranches.

Your opinion on which makes more sense in this case? Multiple purchases is the more conservative way to go, but one shot gets the full dividend back (and more) to where we were a month ago. The BCE board has said they would not touch the dividend for now....although their credibility has taken a hit lately. We are ok with "some" volatility. It's almost a "flip a coin" decision.

Thanks for your help...Steve

Q: Regarding my previous question on Dec. 2nd. I want to make sure I understand clearly so would you please elaborate on what is meant by ¨we think a broadening out of market cap exposure (a little bit) into VTI makes some sense.¨? Thank you.

Q: Read your report on earnings this morning . Just wondering if you learned anything interesting on the conference call ? Thanks for your terrific service ......

Q: Hello Team, It seems to me from reading the odd comment that you are not very keen on buying the TSX hedged US securities in their Canadian listing and currency and prefer to buy the corresponding security on US exchanges in their original US listing and currency. Can you please explain the reason? Thank you.

Q: hello 5i:
can I get an updated opinion on NICE? Has your opinion on this company changed? Would a price of 175 be more interesting?
thanks

Q: I have owned an HISA ETF for a couple of months now - in this case UCSH.U. I had assumed these ETF types to be quite safe but am surprisingly already down 0.21% in a very short period of time. What are the dynamics that make this ETF go up or down in value over time ?

Q: I currently own HXY in my RRIF account and have been in a lost position for quite some time. It is a 8% holding in my RRIF. If I decide to sell what would you replace this ETF with?

Q: What have they done that has the Feds are looking at them . This caused the shares to drop $ 7.00 today,

Should I buy it RAK

Q: Hello, in light of the Canadian dollar trending lower recently, does it make more sense to buy CDR’s as opposed to the equivalent US listed stocks? Since CDR’s are traded in Canadian currency on a Canadian exchange I can still buy the same amount of shares with my Canadian dollars even if the dollar drops as opposed to buying US listed shares on a U.S. exchange with my Canadian dollars which should cost me more as the Canadian dollar drops. Many thanks for the amazing service that you provide.

Q: Do you know of any Consumer Discretionary ETF's that trade on the TSX?

Q: Would you consider apple a buy at its current price

Q: My current yield on this is 19 percent which is hard to replace. My concern is that they can’t afford to pay the dividend and are using debt to make up the shortfall. Is there a possibility of a dividend cut here and at what price oil price should it be safe ? How does the debt look ?

Q: Hello, are there bond ETFs in CAN$ that would not pay interest, for a taxable account? Thanks.

Q: Of the above companies which would you choose for a TFSA if you were to select only one? Please rank them in order (best to "less best") re your expectations for long term growth (say, over the next 10 years).
If you had only one pick for a long term TFSA hold of any stock (or ETF) without regard to CAD vs US, market sector or market cap, what would that be, assuming a young (mid-20's) investor with a currently well diversified, growth-oriented TFSA?

Q: What can you tell me about ASTS as an investment opportunity. There is very little information on the company fundamentals that I can find. Is this purely speculative investment?

Much appreciated

Q: Where so many growth companies have been on fire over the last 6-8 months, UBER's price is the same as it was in February of this year. What would have to happen to spark a resurgence in this stock...and how likely is this to occur over the next 6-8 months? With so many other opportunities out there, I'm having difficulty justifying holding on to UBER. Thank you.
