Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am a 30yr old mostly growth investor. I realize after Stantec's latest earnings you are basically endorsing a hold, but i am curious as i hold WSP(5%)and STN(4%) with a 16% Industrial weighting, would you let the name go. I am fine holding but i'm just not sure i am adding anything by keeping it at this point. Second, if you let it go which option would you choose: Add to PUR making it a full position, add to BAD making it a full position, or add to ZZZ making it a full position. Portfolio is mostly diversified across all sectors.

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan and team:
Two questions if you would be so kind to consider.
I have read numerous times your or members use of the term 'half position' Could you explain in layman's terms what is a half position and what is a full position. Maybe an example would clear it up for me.
Question #2 is about A&W's declared dividend.
"A&W Revenue Royalties Income Fund (the Fund) (TSX symbol AW.UN) today declared a cash distribution of 13.3 cents per trust unit for the period April 1 to April 30, 2017. The distribution will be paid to unitholders of record at the close of business on May 15, 2017, and will be payable on May 31, 2017. This distribution will be taxed as a non-eligible dividend, as the source of funds to pay the distribution is a dividend from A&W Trade Marks Inc." What and why is it they state the distribution will be taxed as a non-eligible dividend. Will this then be taxed like interest? If held in a Non-Registered account will this still be taxed at the preferred dividend rate, assuming a T3 slip is issued? Thanks again for all your answers to the many questions you receive. Ken ... :-)
