Q: Is there an 'RRSP' effect on the Canadian Market?
By this I am referring to an influx of money in the first 60 days of a year that is looking for a home whether through mutual funds or direct investment in the market.
I seem to have an impression that the markets take a dip after RRSP season.
Your opinion is, as always, appreciated!
Thanks!

Q: Peter . Looking to buy Dundee reit and Artis reit for long term income. Are the dividends safe? What would the payout ratio be. Looks like Dundee has not raised its div. for years. Thanks for the info, Ken

Q: I'm one of your newer subscribers having joined in Nov '13 and I have been doing much better with my investing since then. I ditched my Financial Adviser/Broker about a year ago when I finally stopped procrastinating and acted upon long held realisation that she was making more money from our accounts than we were.
I now manage both RRSPs and RRIFs for myself and my wife. We own 40 shares in the four accounts, most of them dividend producing, but also some growth stocks and they are fairly widely spread across different sectors and different geographical areas.
I have a few duds, or at least equities or ETFs that I bought at the wrong time when I was out in the wilderness learning to do it all by myself, and I intend to sell them when the time is right to take advantage of your advice given in your answers to members.
It doesn't seem to be too onerous a task at the moment as long as I ignore events like the recent selloff, but are 40 stocks too many?

Q: Hi 5i,

Wondering what your thoughts are on the ALX/RPL merger? Suspect Peter knows RPL from his Sprott days?

Q: i purchased ax.pr.a , a while back. At this point it is paying 5.8 Percent, what are the risks and downfalls of owning a stock like this in the income part of your portfolio.

Q: Just a comment, but whenever a company announces bad news like mccoy did yesterday and horizon north logistics did 3 weeks ago, for me this is a huge warning sign, i immediately sell and never return, your first loss is your best loss. There are so many great opportunities , why wait months until maybe these companies recover and that is a big maybe. I owned both mccoy and horizon and i am now long gone. I am averaging 16 per cent annual average return forthe last 10.5 years so i feel i know what i am talking about.have to disagree with you to hold mccoy, that was one awful announcement. Dave

Q: I just joined as a member today and like what I see so far.I'm considering buying BTE or WCP to round out my holdings of resource stocks. I like both of these companies for their dividend and growth prospects. I'm interested in hearing your comments. I plan to buy one or the other. Do you have a preference? Thanks.
