Q: My discount broker commented that DIR.UN "is running out of steam" and that the largest shareholder sold 800,000 shares last week at $13.02. It is significant to note that the said shareholder now owns no units of the REIT.
Recently you indicated that this REIT is one of your top 5 favourites.
Can you please comment whether this is still your favourite REIT ? Is the insider selling significant? I will appreciate further if it is a hold, sell or a buy.
Thanks

Q: Dear 5i,
DYN3361, Dynamic Premium Yield Plus Fund.
This fund uses leverage, uses Call and Put option strategies for US stocks.
At the moment they seem to have an overweight with cash-covered Put options.
In general do both Call and Put strategies work in markets that are choppy and there is no trend either up or down? What would you attribute to it's good performance over the last few years?

Q: hello 5i:
We've held a small position in PFFD for quite some time, with a significant loss (glad its small position).
But: the Fed narrative has changed from raising to pausing and the next step is inevitably lowering. Yes, there may be another small raise and yes, I know the higher for longer argument.
PFFD pays out over 7% in our RRIF, in an investment that appears to have very little risk of more downside and even a large amount of upside if things were to return to pre-covid levels.
Summing up and being a bit of a contrarian (skate to where the pucks going?), would you agree with my assessment? Can you see any reason for anything but limited downside with new money in the preferred space? What am I missing here?
thanks

Q: I need to sell either KXS or GSY in non-reg account to use up some capital losses. Which is better to sell right now?
Q: I was under the impression that CLS was a late inning performer and we are not there yet as indicated in earlier responses. So why now having sold it out of the BE portfolio at less than half its current price within the last couple of years. Is CLS an AI player ?
Thx

Q: Hi,
I’m wondering if you can help clarify something for me about the CDIC deposit insurance for GICs. I have tried to research an answer for this but am still unclear.
In one account if I have a GIC valued at $100K, I know I have full CDIC insurance coverage.
If I have two $100K GICs in the same account, but the GICs are issued by two different institutions (e.g., one is a $100K TD GIC and one is a $100K BMO GIC), do I have full CDIC insurance on each GIC, for a total of $200K insurance, or only $100K insurance for the account?
Thank you. Michael

Global X Nasdaq-100 Index Corporate Class ETF (HXQ $90.05)
Q: Regarding your very quick response to my question yesterday where you stated "Capital gains are treated the same as Canadian gains, but must be converted to C$ for tax purposes." ZSP is a Canadian listed equity in Canadian dollars so I assume that I will not need to make any conversion when taking a capital gain? If I alternatively buy HXS (or HXQ) will capital gains be treated as Canadian only?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Which would you replace, and with what, and if you could provide a reasoning for the change. REAL is my "real" worry, if truth be told, but I also feel slightly off my pizza these days ...

Q: As a dividend growth investor I'm looking for one more (non-financial) growth company to add to my group that already includes ATD and CNR. I've done a side-by-side comparison of the following three outlining concerns for each:
FSV - Reasonable debt levels. In a recession, perhaps the strongest of the three (?), but always expensive.
SJ - Arguably a bit of a moat, reasonable debt. But by already owning CNR, does it make sense to own a company whose business includes railway ties?
DOO - Great growth, nice dividend growth, and very attractive moat. But what about that debt ?...and in a recession who is going to buy those "toys" ?
Not looking for personal advice, but I would welcome any comments on the concerns I've mentioned. Thanks.

Q: This question is about interest rates and their effect on dividend paying stocks and tech stocks. Most people talk about rates going up or down but not if they stay where they are now. As a senior whose memory stretches back to the 70’s and beyond, these rates seem rather normal to me. A recent article by Howard Marks of Oaktree Investments ( a unit of Brookfield ) quotes him saying he believes that rates will not decline and will be staying around their current level for quite a while. If so, how would the dividend paying stocks ( banks, utilities, telecoms, reits, ) and the tech stocks react ? Thanks. Derek.
