Investment Q&A

Q: Good day team, I’m looking to purchase both XLB and HDIV. Which accounts would be best suited for these ETFs?

Q: So, Canadian Telcos are hurting……

The three control the Canadian market. Canadians pay some of the highest prices for their services. Their networks are vital infrastructure for businesses, government, and everything else.

I understand that capital investment is large and that interest rates have risen, however….. rates aren’t that high and look to be on the way down. Also, would it not take some time for increased borrowing costs to catch up with these companies?

Income….could it be any higher?

Is the problem excessive expenses? Forays into non-core businesses? Aren’t their problems easily solvable?

I’m having trouble seeing how the current low prices are not an incredible long term buying opportunity.

Comments?

Q: Love to get your updated on NKE's quarter and the dropping stock (now below $90 USD) as a value play. Also, what happens to NKE stock during consumer spending recessions from the past, as all signs seem to be pointing that way for back half of 2024 and into 2025. Do you see further drops?

Q: Hello,
I have follow up questions on your June 19 response to Scott. I am not a shareholder and not planning on becoming one - Just curious about the next steps following the defaults.

You mentioned the convertible holders may issue stock causing massive dilution. It is essentially a takeover to take control of the asset disposition process and negotiation with the 1st mortgagees.

Are debentures always convertibles?

I presume the 1st mortgagee for each property owned will also send their notice of default and ask for repayment / start the foreclosure process. Is that correct and do the convertible owners have any remedy to try protecting the remaining equity?
Just looking for your general comments to understand next steps. Thank you for your great service.

Q: What is your current opinion of EIT.UN.ca - is it a good investment or would you have alternatives that are better?

Q: I have a small position in this company and a long term time horizon.

Q: Update on MDLZ?

Q: Hi 5i,

I have a question about currency as it relates to investments made to the TSX or US stock exchanges.

I am embarrassed to ask given this was likely a rookie move; posting publicly in case it helps others.

I have made investments via my TFSA, LIRA, RRSP and self directed investment account in some US equities (above).

What I perceive now to be a "problem" is that all purchases of US stocks (including those with dividends) were made out of my CA account of said RRSP, TFSA, LIRA etc. given I did not hold any USD$ in my investment accounts.

Yesterday there were a few questions around Norbert’s Gambit approach (which I am not familiar with) and I have since realized the error of my ways. Here are my questions - knowing you cannot personalize responses - but if it were YOU :

- 1) As a Canadian, should the purchase of any US equity always be purchased using US funds in said investment account? OR when available - should you purchase on the CA stock exchange?

- 2) What is the best way to transfer CAD from said investment account into the US corresponding account if one wants to be mindful of fees, exchange rates etc. (is that Norbert's approach?)

-3) What would you suggest I do for the US equities I currently own in CA accounts? Is there anything to do?

Please use any credits you see fit.
Thanks a Million.
