Investment Q&A

Q: I've held BGI for just under a year. Apart from a brief rebound in April I've been under water the whole time. The low PE and high yield make me wonder whether I should add, but the price performance makes me wonder if I should sell.

What do think of the prospects? (Hold, and add if it tanks on Europe?)

Q: Hi team!
I am considering a hybrid portfolio of either (A) 80% ETFs and 20% individual stocks or (B) 80% in an All-in-one ETF (VEQT/VGRO) and 20% individual stocks. I understand there may be foreign withholding tax considerations on the Vanguard All-in-one ETFs depending on the account type in which it's held and I'm wondering how significant this actually is.

Questions:

- Which accounts out of RRSP/LIRA, TFSA, RESP, and Non-Registered would US listed ETFs be a better alternative due to this foreign withholding tax drag?

- At what account value would the tax drag from these withholding taxes be material enough to warrant buying individual ETFs (ex. VT, VTI, XUU, XEF) instead of using an all in one fund (VGRO or VEQT)?

Trying to avoid losing 15% or more of any US/foreign dividends due to unrecoverable foreign taxes if possible!

Thanks for your great work!

Q: Dear 5i,
I am considering buying these for a long term hold.
Is there a lot of overlap between DE and TIH.
Do you think one needs to own both or none?
If only one, which one would you prefer and what are the key reasons
you chose it over the other one. Thanks for your advice.

Q: Hi,
I own EGLX, PLTR, PINS and U in my TFSA and all getting killed. Would you sell any to consolidate in 1 or 2 or sell them all and move to something else? Holding on is also an option. Looking forward to your thoughts.
Thanks for your great service.

Q: Your opinion on this investment for income risk and future growth would be appreciated. Thx James

Q: This fund is held in several accounts (cash, tfsa, rrsp and rdsp) all at approximately 7% in each portfolio. Thinking about selling all because of the high fees but want to know if we'll miss out on a dividend or distribution if we sell before the end of the year. I can't seem to find this information anywhere.

Thanks

Q: In my non-registered account I have BAM.A with a portfolio weighting of 4 % & BAMR with a weighting of 0.02 %. Is there any advantage with holding two separate stocks of the same company. If not which would you recommended aggregating all the shares to BAM.A or BAMR. Thanks … Cal

Thanks.

Q: With interest rates heading higher for longer, countries/ corporations with high debt levels will suffer pains not seen in a very long time. Should investors begin to switch to fixed income products (bonds,prefs) as rates rise? Will traditional income stocks get knocked about too?

Q: Hi 5i, what do you think of 3M today due to the litigation, military earplug issue. They had a big down day on Friday any idea how this will impact the company. Thanks for your help.

Q: It often seems difficult to find the holdings of covered call etf's and whether their returns include return of capital. Do you have a solution and your opinion of xyld for long term hold. Thanks for you expertise.

Q: I have a stake in one of these companies. Is it prudent to ad at this time and to what one and why. Also, I am starting to think that market timing is everything. You must time your investments and get out at times and maybe get back in at certain times. I think that not just buy and hold until you get Killed any more. I would appreciate tour thoughts and opinions. Thanks James
