Investment Q&A

Q: Can you verify the return of capital for HDIF.Not sure how I found a chart on it but if I am right it showed 87% ROC for 2022.Surely I am wrong . Also A new issue Is HRIF without leverage. Can you explain this? And also I currently hold some CIG686 for monthly income . Would you comment on a switch to either or or suggest something with less ROC .Please and thanks and use all questions to cover.Larry

Q: What headwinds could cause the equity markets to roll over and perhaps drop 5-10% in the next 6-12 months? Thinking of raising cash levels. many thanks...

Q: At this point do we see any positive outlook for 2024+. There seems to be value in the company, and analysts seem to think there is still value/upside. Mr. Market on the other hand seems to disagree

Q: I have recently come into some US cash. I would like to put some of it into a US TFSA account but am not sure if this would be prudent as, the US doesn't recognize the TFSA in the same manner as our RRSPs. If this is a good idea, what types of equities should be put into it: any type of US equity or Canadian stocks that pay dividends in USD?

As always, Thank you in advance for your advice

Q: What is your outlook for UCTT? Rebound? Is this your preference in the sector? High risk tolerance.

Thanks for your service

Q: Of these 2 companies, witch of the 2 do you see having the better growth profile. Thanks.

Q: NVDA has a really good run lately. Is it too late to buy some for a medium to long-term hold?

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

I currently do own small amounts of each of the companies above except for EQB.

Do you feel strong enough about EQB to replace any of the other 3 companies if taxes or trading fees are not an issue or just advise to ride it out

Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: I purchased Tamarak(TVE) based on many recommendations, as well as yours
- Many people and firms continue to like and recommend this name...

- CFRA has a Hold, with a Negative Growth Rating...

- Price , Chart/Trend have Not been doing well...

- There is a nibble of insider buying

Questions:
1. Would you suggest Hold, Buy more or Sell for another...

2. Why does it seem like negative trading sentiment these days and poor current stock performance, when overall the stock is liked and recommended by many...?

3. Paramount Resources(POU) - I have heard a few Positive recommendations on this company... I think Leon Cooperman had good things to say as well...
- CFRA has a Hold, but gives a Positive Growth Rating

4. Would you recommend staying with TVE or consider POU...? Or Others..?

Thanks

Q: Energy is a small portion of my overall portfolio. TVE is one of my larger holdings but it has lagged other energy names in the past few months. Do you still like TVE and should I be adding to bring my average cost down.

Q: Can you shed some light on these fixed income vehicles offered by Bank of Montreal and BNS respectively.

BNS and BMO Canadian Banks (AR) Index Callable Contingent Coupon Notes. (indicated return of up to 10.08%)

Are these index related or linked to the TSX equity index?
Not sure how they can pay out so much, hopefully you can explain if these are a good option to use for income in a retirement portfolio.
