Investment Q&A

Buyable here?

Q: Regarding the question about a U.S. citizen holding mutual funds in a RRSP account, my tax professional advised me that anything can be held in a RRSP account since they are covered by a tax treaty.

If Canadian mutual funds or trusts are held outside of a RRSP extra tax forms must be filed, which can be expensive. U.S. stock can be held in any account.

Q: Your thoughts on today's earnings release.

Q: Hi folks,if no one else asked,opinion on Q results phm/v,stock selling off pretty good,thanks,jb

Q: Hello 5i team,
I have learned that, with a positively sloping yield curve, lending institutions provide much needed liquidity into the economy; but the current situation seems, to me, to defy all logic. Mind you, compared to the rest of the world with negative yields across the spectrum, the US yield curve seems OK despite the fact that it is dangerously flattening. How does all this affect liquidity? and is this a precursor of an eventual recession?
Given the uncertainty, 20% of my equity RRIF portfolio is in cash.
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: So now that Sinoenergy has been announced as the buyer, what do you think of the risk/reward in realizing the buyout price of 52 cents, an almost 45% upside form the current share price (36 cents).

Q: Hello Peter
Further to your response to Steve this morning, would you recommend a sell and reset on the entire sector? I hold TOU WCP PPY RMP

Q: Have been away from 5i for a while, hope you will consider this as one question.
Kinda stupid, but I am still holding Husky and Cenovus, down a lot of course. What do you think of their future, and which might be the best one [if either] to hold, or should I cash out and look for something else?
Thanks

Q: I have almost no direct energy exposure except for 2% in a services firm with high recurring revenue. Of course, there is lots of indirect exposure through banks, industrials, etc. I am interested in wading in, mostly for a yield play with some growth, not looking for a ton of torque. I understand that no dividends are entirely safe in this environment. I was wondering if it is better to go for a mid-size E&P such as Whitecap or Cabot, a pipeline such as Interpipe, a services firm such as Gibson Energy, or a global giant such as Chevron? Generally my portfolio is diversified across geography, industry sector, and market cap. I would look for an initial half-position and prefer a yield above 4%. Which names would you recommend? Thanks as always!

Q: I am thinking of selling some positions I feel will be a long time recovering and using proceeds to add to my DHX position but it keeps going lower. Do you have a sense of how far into oversold this name is?

Q: Would you comment on articles on Bloomberg and CNBC websites, among others, indicating China's potential banking crisis could be 5 times worse than the US subprime crisis? Very daunting article! Thanks.
Steven

Q: Hi,

I'll be taking over my spouses RRSP account. She's dual citizenship, American/Canadian and we've had mixed counseling with respect to whether she can hold mutual funds in an RRSP or not. Can you shed some clarity on whether or not she can? Can she hold US listed stocks?

Any other comments on an RRSP account of someone of dual citizenship would be much appreciated.

Best,

Cam
