Q: Hello, I am learning as I go, so maybe this is an uninformed question: if a stock that is traded on both the Canadian and U.S. market (e.g. FTS, AQN,BEPC), is purchased on the U.S. market, is that considered to be adding to my U.S. exposure? Is the exposure/allocation based on the market it is purchased in (CDN vs US) or is it based on the country that the company is located in as displayed in their profile details? My Canadian exposure is quite high right now, so i'm trying to learn to rebalance. thank you

Q: Just a quick follow up question on TFII. I've read companies like FDX and UPS are often seen as leading indicators on the economy, if Freight Rates at TFII are falling is that an indication that inflation is beginning to come down? Or would that be reading too much into the situation....thanks as always.

Q: " It was a taxable spin off, but the deemed value was essentially zero. T3s are not always given in these scenarios. The cost base of TOI shares was determined to be less than 1 cent per share."

So, the deemed value of taxable spin off being essentially Zero, it's not required to be reported for Taxable Income in any form, for 2021 tax year - Is this the correct understanding ?

What should the ACB of the spin off shares used, when sold - Zero - For Capital Gain purposes ?

Thank You

Q: I’m looking for a low cost (preferably)ETF that focuses on CDN Dividend growers as opposed to high yield,my thinking is if they have extra cash to grow the dividend their EPS must be growing which would hopefully lead to a higher share price,would I be right in assuming this and preferably an ETF with decent volume ……Thanks

Q: I am considering buying shares in CNR. Can you give me some reasons why it might be a bad idea? A few positive would also help, but I want to make certain I understand any risks before I invest.

Q: Hello 5i,

Would appreciate you thoughts on GOOG growth for the next 5-10yrs.

Your past answers to questions state that you view this company's valuation as 'cheap' and its cloud services and Waymo as catalysts for greater growth.

However, I can't reconcile that against a potential recession scenario in the next few years were ad revenue could decrease and potential anti trust cases being brought against it.

Thank you,

Greg

Q: I thought I saw that a new analyst is following DRI, calling it a rare gem in the sector with a combination of higher yield but still having growth potential. It is still a fair bit under it’s IPO price, and too small to attract much attention I would think. I read your previous comments on this company, wondering if you having any other “colour commentary”? I’m tempted to put it into a TFSA, especially if the typical growth ideas may be facing headwinds for awhile. Do you know anything about the management, or the company’s performance/history before IPO’ing?

Q: What sectors and top stock picks for each sector would you advise to address inflation and a recession. If possible, could you provide entry points.
thanks
