Investment Q&A

Q: Hello, What major company would you suggest the produces iron? Seeing as the war in Ukraine is reducing the supply from the side of the world. Other than Brazil, is there a major player in North America you would recommend and why? Thanks

Q: The answer here might be obvious, but I'll ask the question nevertheless. Is there a CRA weasel rule that discourages selling a stock at a profit inside a TFSA and then immediately buying the same stock in an unregistered account?

Q: Hello Peter

Best wishes for the Season

I owne the above in my non taxable accounts with a considerable loss. I am a senior who tended to invest in growth stocks with some sucess exept in the last 12 months.
I consider that above list has some potential for recovery.
I would like to concentrate on the bests with the greatest potential recovery in 2023.
I will appreciate your advice on the stocks I could sell or add on or replace.
I always value your opinion

Q: Hello,

Given the Core Scientific bankruptcy filing, can you comment on Riot's financials to weather the crypto winter.

Thank you!

Q: With the high yield of BAM I was planning to hold it in my cash account, yet today in a response to Jim you recommend it be held in a registered account. I am curious about your rationale for that recommendation. Do you know if the distribution will be a pure dividend? Thank you as always.

Q: In a slowdown, would you swap WSP for TFI?

Q: In your response to Randy about converting BNRE to BN you stated

"Under the structure, there is really only an advantage if the price of BNRE is higher than the price of BN and one wants to sell (and get the higher price). Right now there is a 20c difference, not really material enough to make a switch. Dividends and economic exposure are equivalent."

I would have thought that you would only want to convert BNRE to BN if BRNE was tradng LOWER than BN not HIGHER, thus trading a less valuable stock up to a more valuable stock. What am I missing?

Thanks

Q: Is it a good time to start buying crwd?

Q: What is going on with AAV and DVN recently. Both are dropping at a greater rate than other gas & oil stocks. Would you hold or sell? Would there be 2 or 3 others that might be more solid alternates?

Q: Hello, Whats your view on this company and is it investible at the present time? The charts over a yr seem to show a downwards trend and yet the company seems to be in the right space.

Q: Good evening,

RNW is down significantly in recent weeks. NWH.UN down as well - just not as much.
In November you suggested NWH.UN was still a hold.
What are your thoughts on these two at this moment in time specially wrt income.

Thanks very much.

Q: Hi, Can I get your analysis of this company and why the share price seems to be on a downwards trend. Is it worth getting into?
Thanks

Q: I didn't have bonds this year and I wish I did even though it lost value it still did better than my portfolio tilted toward growth. If you were to initiate a bonds presence in your portfolio. Would you rather buy these 2 or one or the other. Any other suggestion is welcome.

Thx

Q: Hello 5i Team

I previously owned TransAlta (TA), when they cut the dividend in 2015/2016 and took the capital loss at the time.

I have owned RNW since 2015, so I currently have a small capital gain.

Upon RNW and TA news release on December 15, it appears the future for RNW is not great and several analysts have stated the best course of action would be for TA to take RNW private (similar to what Enbridge did with Enbridge Income Fund in 2018). Otherwise they indicated no dividend growth and a potential future cut in RNW dividend.

Questions are:

1 - Would it make sense to sell my RNW shares and purchase TA shares (essentially trading dividend income for future stock growth).

2 - Consider the RNW and TA not buyable and finally sell out RNW and buy something else. Any suggestions?

3 - Where does Brookfield fit in with Trans Alta, as they previously made a deal in 2018/2109 for a future purchase of TA hydro assets?

Thanks for all the information in the Q&A portion of 5i.

Q: Could you please give your updated opinion and future prospects for this company. Is it a sell or continue to hold. Dividend is attractive. Is it sustainable? Is it worth buying back in 30 days if sold for tax loss harvesting.
Thanks

Q: Hi
Could you provide an update on BNS due to the political unrest in Peru and Chile?

Q: Down 25% plus on these two subsidiaries so considering a tax loss sale. Would BN be a suitable proxy and stay onside with CRA rules? Other ideas?

Q: I recall once seeing a link to an explainer on all of the different Brookfield offerings. Can you please repost this. Is it up to date with the new BAM / BN thing?

Ideally hoping to see a tabulated summary including:
name of holding
nature of business
yield
ideal account type to hold in for optimal tax efficiency
closest competitor names

Which offering would you recommend for green energy income investment in an unregistered CDN$ account? Any comments on when is a good time to buy given recent structural changes and interest rate changes.

Thanks,

Jim
