Investment Q&A

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

Q: I've read your previous answers to questions on this bank.

However, even if the stock has "priced in" the bad news doesn't this reflect very badly on management, governance, compliance etc of this institiution.

I would far sooner put money in other banks like RY. To date TD is by far the worst performing of the big banks (-15%) and I daresay this might be just the beginning of this mess.

Why not cut bate, sell it as it is a spoiled equity for the forseeable future and buy a well managed FI?

Q: Hi 5i,

I am slowly converting my TSFA to income. A model holding for me is BNS-T (Bank of Nova Scotia). A +6% dividend and good growth potential. Thank you 5i for the recommendation. Can you. recommend, "as of the prices today" 3-4 more companies that you would add. I do have access to your income portfolio of course, but I am seeking good entry positions for your current "fav's". Thank you.

Q: Good morning Peter, Ryan, and 5i Team,

How significant is the ESG backlash in many US states to Canadian banks that have large US operations?

A recent article in the Globe & Mail “Canadian banks caught in ESG backlash from U.S. state officials” outlines this unfortunate (in my opinion) trend.

The article refers to TD in particular, but lists large US banks that have also been impacted by this anti-ESG stance.

Thanks for your insight.

Q: Not sure if this is a legit question for you. When there was a class action lawsuit on XBC, you indicated in an answer to one of your members that it wasn't worth your time. Would you mind giving your opinion about the TD Class Action lawsuit, covering the period December 3, 2015 to March 9, 2017. I can only verify that I held 153 shares. Thanks.

Q: Hello again, I was not very clear on my question re: additions to Canadian dividend growth portfolio. I would like your top 5 preferences out of the 10 stocks listed, which are all currently held.

The suggestions you made are fine and most of those are also held, but for various reasons including existing position sizes I want to add to the group indicated. Thank you.

Q: We bought a 2-year GIC through TD Bank but issued by EQ Bank. Interest is paid at maturity. When we received the T5 it included an amount for interest for the first year. It doesn't seem correct to be taxed on interest which is not yet received. Is this an industry practice? I've asked TD and am waiting their reply.

Thank you for your view.

Q: I'm thinking of journaling the above inter-listed securities over to my US RSP account as a currency play (I'm expecting CAD weakness vs USD over next 1-2 years). Other than CAD dividend exchange rate fees, are there other caveats to be aware of with any of these securities specific to their US listings? I.e. liquidity on NYSE? Thank you.
