Investment Q&A

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

Q: In response to Ben’s question on March 1 regarding to buy LMN or not you stated that if one has a time frame of 5 years or more, then he should buy it at the going price. Are you saying not to buy the stock if less than 5 year timeframe?
What if one does not use timeframes as a reference but uses percentages ? In my TFSA ( where I have my riskier stocks ) I use 20% as a point of consideration to sell. I may be leaving money on the table but I have locked in a good gain. I would appreciate your thoughts on this approach. Would your answer on LMN be the same if one used the 20% ?
Thanks . Derek

Q: Hi, I'm light on financials holding a full position in TD. I was wondering if you could give me a few picks with safety, dividends and some growth being the parameters for a retiree's income portfolio? Would now be a good time to add another bank or would you lean into an insurance name at this time? Or something else? I look forward to your response. Thank you.

Q: India is now or about to be the most populous country in the world and its economy appears strong. This should point towards solid growth going forward. What are your thoughts on this? If one wanted to invest in this scenario, how would they do it? Can you suggest ETFs that would mimic their future?

Q: I agree the quarter looked fine on the surface with most numbers up but I think the change in yearend but what's being compared is a 4 month final quarter and 10 month year. Also net impaired loans are ramping up big time.

Could this be what is spooking trading in the stock today? Perhaps you could take a closer look at the numbers.

Q: Dear 5i
I`m sure i`ve asked this question before but i cannot find your answer to this question .
Do you have to include ETF's that are Canadian listed that hold US stocks such as HXS and ZSP as part of my foreign reporting re foreign assets on my taxes ?
Also i have 3 ETF's that apparently have Trust or Partnership income (ZLB,CDZ,ZSP ). I have not received this notification before from my brokerage firm so i'm assuming this is a relatively new structuring of these particular ETF's . That said , is trust and partnership income taxed more or less than other forms of income ? Are you taxed on this income derived from capital gains , dividend or interest income ?
Thanks

Q: Does Apple’s giving up on Project Titan make you wonder their vision and research ability is subpar? Now they are switching to AI … seems to me they were following the crowd several years ago on EV and are now following the crowd on AI. Maybe a few years later they will give up on AI. Where is their vision? Thanks,

Q: Can you please provide your thoughts on the stocks listed for a RESP that will start to draw down in 4 years? In addition to these positions the portfolio has a good core position in CDN, US and INTL large cap ETFs. Any that you would get rid of now? If so, please provide alternatives (both Cdn and US).
