Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I hold this company and would appreciate your view on it as a buy/hold/sell at the present moment and supporting argument for this opinion. I know that while this is a Canadian company all its holdings are in the US and it pays its dividend in US dollars. I was surprised to learn that those dividends are subject to a US withholding tax. However, I believe that since this is held in a non registered account, the taxes can be recovered at tax time. Am I correct in this regard?
Thanks, Don

Q: Hello, I am planning to sell one of either ET or CAE or NWC to generate cash for the purchase of DocuSign. Which one of the these three would you sell? I understand that they are all good companies currently held in the 5i model portfolios, but I can't make up my mind. Regards, Gervais

Q: Hi 5i,

Are you aware if People Corp has plans to move from the Venture to the TSX? Their last quarter was excellent and i thought it may have gotten more interest after that but it hasn't done much. It always seems to be a weird trader but their growth looks to be accelerating. Perhaps a move to the TSX would be what they need to get more interest - maybe once they get to the $1B market cap?

Thanks

Q: I am looking to add solid Dividend payers with a history of growing their dividends, and TSM looks like it fits that bill. Plus TSM's Total Return % has risen consistently and impressively over 1,3,5 and 10 year periods. Do you see a significant risk in its not having a 'wide moat'? I'd be looking to add shares during any future Market downturn. Or would you prefer Intel, which has a smaller but decent dividend and currently trading at more of a discount, whereas TSM might be considered to be trading at a Premium right now?
Thank you!

Q: Last year, I purchased ZDH in my mother's retirement account. She is close to 80. It has been a very poor performer, significantly underperforming the international indexes. Performance seemed to be reasonable prior to the market drop in the last few months. Morningstar now rates both ZDI (unhedged) and ZDH (hedged) as two stars, and it now falls to the 4th quartile for most time periods.

I would appreciate your views about ZDH. Would you continue to hold this ETF expecting that it will start to outperform the market, or would you sell it? Do you feel that it has dropped a lot since January due to its sector composition, and will bounce back? If you would sell it, what would you recommend? Dividends are not a priority, but looking for low to medium risk.

Thanks for your excellent advice.
