Q: Hi 5i team,
A number of companies show up regularly on your favourite lists, which seems to be a popular feature with your subscribers. I have held SPLK in the past. It has been well over a year since any question on it. A lot of analysts are quite positive on SPLK in the big data and cybersecurity space and it doesn’t seem crazy expensive for a tech stock. Obviously, all can’t make the top tier lists. I am curious on your view on SPLK and what keeps it from making the cut.
Thanks again for the insight.
Dave

Q: I havent had much luck with this stock over time. I sold it for a loss earlier this year just before Brookfield stepped in(sigh). Re-bought in 30 days thinking there might be opportunity for SPB rolling up small biz in the states. How big is this area in the US and does SPB have credibility as a divvy growth for doing this?

Q: Hey team, I think you misunderstood Jacob’s tax question. He WOULD have to declare his capital gain on his growth stock. He is not excused from this just because he rebuys the same stock shortly thereafter.

Q: I noticed you said that you have to wait 30 days to rebuy suncor after selling it for tax-loss. Is it the same for declaring profits? If i sell a growth stock for a profit, but rebuy it the next day, do i have to declare it?

Q: I asked about the pros and cons of this investment and it caused an error message.
I'm 68 and have little fixed income.
In an effort to be more clear this is a preferred and pays about 8%.
I'm adding a paragraph from a Baron's article hoping to clear up any confusion.

Newly issued preferred stock from Qurate Retail, the top home-shopping business controlled by media mogul John Malone, offers investors a lofty yield of more than 8%.

The preferred (ticker: QRTEP) has an 8% annual dividend and a maturity in 2031, and it finished Friday at $94.12, up $2.37. The preferred trades at a discount to its face value of $100. This results in a current yield of around 8.5% and a yield to maturity of about 8.75%.

Q: Greetings to all,

We wish to increase our Emerging market holdings within our RRSP account
and note that the 10 year chart has traded between $50 and $30. The yield at the moment is about 2.8%.

Q1: Therefore what kind of holding is VWO, growth or income? I suspect neither.
Q2: Is there an emerging market ETF out there with a generally ascending 10 year chart line?

Cheers!
