Q: I read that the merger deal closes 3rd quarter 2020. Does this mean tsgi will continue to trade on its own until this time? I'm not sure I want to hold shares in the takeover company so how long do I have until I have to sell to avoid this?

Q: This is from TD. If I accept offer & now have Flutter, to sell same I contact Intl. desk & the charge would be about $50. plus they would nick you on conversion to Cdn. $'s. I'm guessing wud be about 1%.
Q: I bought CSH.UN a couple of years ago and have been extremely disappointed. As it has been flat, many other REITs have done well, and it even lags badly behind Sienna, its competitor, since my purchase. Are you aware of any particular reason for its (relatively) poor showing? Would you suggest that a long-term investor hang in, or move on? Thanks!

Q: Hi,
I'm looking to start investing a lump sum over the next 12 months or so. What list of Canadian stocks would you recommend at current levels? Do you have 5-7 names that you find particularly attractive right now. Looking for a mix of growth and income with not too much risk.
Thanks,
Jason

Q: Hi Team! Any comments on the prospects for the above noted stock?
Q: Please comment on acquisition today.
Q: You recently noted Boston Pizza as being "ok for high risk" portion of income portfolio. Looking at their dividend history I see they cut it in 2011 from 11 c to 8 c and never got back to 11 c until 2016. With the payout ratio as extreme as it is, does this not seem very likely there will be another reduction to the dividend soon.
Thank you
Paul

Q: Time to sell Tsgi at this level or hold ? I have 4K shares of Tsgi and 700 shares Tsg , if sold what stocks you recommend to buy, I like growth stocks, many thanks
Q: Good morning 5i,
Once again thank you for the excellent service and advice that you give so generously. This morning there was a question about putting Boyd into a TFSA. I had been wondering the same thing. But, you mention that you dont really see it as a high growth stock. I imagine I would be better to put Google in, if I want growth. That means another capital gain, however. The beauty of Boyd is that you have to take the cap gain anyway. Getting to be a long story here. But, how would Parklawn compare with Boyd in putting in a TFSA?
thanks

Q: I bought PBH on the pull back after they reported earnings. I'm quickly up 10%. Should I sell and take the gain or is there more upside? Shares are in a registered account so capital gain tax is not a consideration. Thanks.
Q: My direct investing account categorizes BEP.UN as American equity. Does it really qualify as a US holding?
Q: Peter; I bought some GDI yesterday- lucky timing - could you comment on the news today and can they finance it internally? Double thanks. Rod
Q: I bought SLF a few years ago expecting to benefit from increasing interest rates. SLF has been a stellar performer despite the trend of lower interest rates this past year, especially at the longer end of the curve.
I’m certainly not complaining but am a little confused by the strong performance in a weakened rate environment.
Could you shed some light on the reason for their outperformance and prospects going forward. (I’m thinking of taking some profits)

Q: Good morning, Please comment on Versabank's recent quarter. Also, how does their forward PE compare to similar companies and the big banks? They now have a book vallue of $9.98 vs, stock value around $7.30, why the gap? Also, any thoughts on their new initiatives, specifically Versa Vault. I know you removed this from the growth portfolio early this year, do you think you would put it back in based on growing divvy and new initiatives?
Thanks
Rob
Thanks

Q: Hey guys,
Please confirm;
Should you own BYD.UN in a non registered account, the capital gains (thank you) will be realized in January 2020.
At that time, if you have room in your TFSA, should you place it there?
thanks,
Jim

Q: I do not currently have a position in GIL. It seems to be recovering well after the recent earnings miss. Would this be a good time to initiate a position?
Q: See previous question below - obliviously bad advise + poor judgment on my part Anyway in order to salvage something I bought 200 shares LSPD back today in another account. Am right in assuming that the loss in the first account still stands and that as long as I do not buy any thru that account I will still be able to claim the loss?. Thanks PS do you see LSPD going back to test the $49 high in the next short time ? Appreciate you guidance (win some lose some )
I recently sold LSPD to crystalize a tax loss I sold it on Nov 22 for $29:72 presently its at $31 and change. I sold it after getting your opinion on tax loss selling. When I asked the question I was specific about LSPD and pointed out the risk of the stock increasing beyond the $4599 loss in the 30 day window. (always planned on buying it back. Anyway in the last 2 days the stock has gone up over 2 dollars (I had 800 shares so that approx. $1600) I am getting nervous about the stock rallying. Can I have your thoughts should I buy it back now before it takes off and goes back up to previous high of $49 ? or?

Q: Much like KL's acquisition of Detour Gold, it doesn't seem that investors like Sun Life's arrangement with its subsidiary, Sun Life Vietnam Insurance and Tien Phong Commercial Bank (TPBank) which have formed a 15-year bancassurance partnership in Vietnam .
The agreement combines TPBank's distribution network with Sun Life Vietnam's market-leading life insurance products, giving 2.5 million TPBank customers access to a comprehensive range of innovative insurance solutions.
May I have your thoughts on the share price drop? Short term? Perhaps a switch to MFC is in order.
Thank you

Q: Hi folks
I sold SIS at a loss in my non registered account. However I also own it in my TFSA and my RRIF at a gain. Does this make my loss null and void? I may buy it back in my non registered in 30 days. Also you had mentioned that you would like to see SIS break at $14.15... But is it good to buy now (if I decide to add to my TFSA holding).? Or would that also break the 30 day rule?
Thank you again for a good year.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,
My wife needs to convert her RRSP to a RRIF. She presently holds BAD (still up 82%) and SIS (presently down 17%). We're considering selling BAD and buying more SIS in order to reduce the number of holdings and to be able to replace a stock that appears to be on a downward trajectory (BAD) with one that seems to have gained momentum (SIS). Please comment on this strategy, and thanks in advance.
