Investment Q&A

Q: Hi team -
I apologize for dragging on the T1135 subject, but I'm a bit confused by your response to Henry's example of the VALUE of his initial $50K investment rising above $100K at anytime of the year.

You said "Yes, in this case you would need to fill out form 1135. The requirement is if foreign assets are greater than $100,000 at any time during the taxation year."

I'm confused because I'm under the impression that if the total COST of the security is above $100K anytime of the year it would then become a requirement. If Henry bought at JNJ $50K and then held on indefinitely without purchasing any more shares he would not have this requirement regardless of whether or not the market value increased beyond $100K. I thought the key word is COST.

Am I missing something here? Thanks for your help.

Q: Hello 5i team,
I have an exposure to the auto industry through LNR and MG and have made significant gains so far; in order to maintain the overall exposure to the auto industry, I am thinking of taking some profit (on a pro rata basis) and buy shares of ACQ.
Your opinion is most valuable

Q: Concerning Tricon (TCN). You commented on an earlier question that the housing market in the US was strengthening and that Canadian lumber companies were showing increases from this. I also noticed that a large home builder in the US, Pulte Homes, has shown recent strength as well. My question is why Tricon stock does not seem to be participating in this rebound. Are their projects still too far off or perhaps the rental market not improving. Really appreciate your insights.

Q: PRC - is doing a stock consolidation; 10 shares become 1; I am a share-holder and do not understand; will $1,000.00 worth of stock become worth $100.00 - that would explain the selling, but seems crazy; please advise.

Q: efn element financial is it abuy

Q: HLP as a share owner - am I correct that there is no option but to take cash; it seems we are not offered shares in the US REIt; and, if so, why not just sell now - I self-invest so have no advisor to handle a tender.

Q: Hi sorry guys.Re form 1115 (or whatever) I read your link; now I'm really confused. The amount is based on cost. So, if I bought shares of JNJ say for $50K and its value goes to $100K, I don,t need to file the form. Yes? What happens the following year when the value starts above $100K? Thanks Henry

Q: Western Forest (WEF) shares have been going up lately on strong volume, anything comes to mind as to why? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter, WIN Wi-LAN has moved steadily up over the last month since it's low. Given the non sale of the company and some changes to the business model do you see stability or further volatility?

Q: Hi Peter and team:
Just inquiring about your view on Cad-US over the next 3 to 9 months. Appears recently to be in a trading range between 90 to 94 cents. Do you see this as the possible range in the near term and if so what catalysts or negatives are possible to change this scenario?
