Investment Q&A

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

Q: Thank you for your recent article. It prompted me to finally free myself of some terminal losers (CRH, PHM, VMD, DBO). Long overdue.
I would appreciate your opinion on whether I should also sell BOS, KBL and PLI rather take the long ride to the bottom like I did with Nortel.

Q: Question about INSR- BMO Global Insurance ETF.
Surprised no one has asked out this one, I do not hold any Canadian Insurers directly but good exposure to Canadian and US banks.

This ETF has 10% exposure to Berkshire/ Buffett who has proven the long term benefits of owning insurance companies. What do you think about owning a product like this for long term growth is it worth it or better to put capital elsewhere-add to ZUB?

My main concerns with the space are: interest rates- how long/ high will they go, geography of the fund is it really better to have exposure to some of these countries, over complicating things in the portfolio- too many ETFs overlapping exposures, over exposure to 'financials' already etc...

Thank you!

Q: Largely predicated on your guidance that the Canadian economy will likely grow at a slower pace - at least over the short term - than its US counterpart, I have filled up my TFSA and RSP with individual US stocks, XEF and VFV, while placing Canadian dividend-paying stocks in my cash account. Can you please comment on the tax implications of placing Canadian .UN stock (eg/ KWH.UN) in my cash account? (I understand these stocks are better placed in a registered account, but I have no room.) Can you also explain how the Foreign Tax Credit works and - in particular - the circumstances under which it can be claimed?

Many thanks,

Maureen
