Investment Q&A

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

Q: EOLS has fallen a lot on the news that one of their large investors is selling 4 million shares to ML. Does this drop make sense to you. The stock was 29 dollars a few weeks ago and now less than 17 dollars. What do you think? Do you think it will recover and should I hold my position or sell.

Q: You answered Francesco on May 16 that to reduce currency conversion fees on dividends one should sell the stock in Canadian funds and rebuy in American. I have been told by my broker that I am able to journal over a stock such as BIP.UN to the American side of my account without sale and purchase fees. It is in my LIRA but I have yet to call to move the stock so it is an untested strategy. I have moved DLR/DLR.UN this way successfully.

Q: Currently hold both DOW and CCL.B. Is this too much of a "similar" thing as both are involved in packaging. If forced to choose one, which would you prefer. Thanks as usual.

Q: With the most recent slide I am sitting on a $3000 loss in VET, my only full position in Energy, also have a half position in Meg. For tax planning I'm considering selling VET. Do you have a recommendation for a replacement Energy company with a similar yield to replace, or would you sit in cash for 30 days and repurchase VET ?

Q: Hi team,

It’s been a while since a question on PYPL. I have held SQ for a long time, but I am starting to warm up to PYPL’s outlook. I have read a number of positive comments on PYPL’s Venmo app, that competes directly with SQ’s payment app. Venmo seems to be growing nicely and closing the gap behind SQ in monthly transactions in a very competitive payments space. PYPL seems to have better momentum as well. SQ has always been one of your favourites and mine as well but to me PYPL looks attractive here. I am thinking about shifting some SQ funds to PYPL. It would help tone down my beta as well. What is your outlook these days for PYPL in comparison to SQ?

Thanks again.
Dave
