Investment Q&A

Q: Could I get your thoughts on this fund. It seems to be well diversified but it's share price seems to be very stagnant. What fundamental should I be watching for that would move the share price?

Q: I have been trying to diversify my holdings. Tech is one area I have zero investments. I am looking for very long term holding with a dividend income. Can you give your thoughts of Tech Leaders Income. Is there a hold back on the income as these do appear to be all American Teck companies. Thanks

Q: I own these shares in my well diversified portfolio and would like to increase my position . What is your
opinion of this Fund?

Q: Have owned this for a few months --basically at a break even on growth but enjoying a 13% Div---would like to buy more but cant figure them out.
Paid 182 consecutive Divs--invest in banks and insurance-preffereds and common paying around 5% or less---write covered calls.Really not that volatile except for Fall of 2018
How do they pay 13%?

Q: Hi Team:
I enjoy reviewing the portfolio analysis. Of course there are always concerns with data interpretation. I am slightly over weighted in DS (5.5%) and FFN ( only 1.8%), 2 companies that I now understand pay some of their dividends with 'Return of Capital'. Returns to date are; DS in RIF (-16%) + TFSA's (-13%, -19%) + RESP (-12%). FFN is in TFSA's (-29%, -30%) + RESP (-30%). Overall now big losers but still paying dividends (DS yield @ 10.15%; FFN yield @ 18.99%) except at the rock bottom time frame of December 2018. So, I want to sell. When do you suggest I take the hit? Do I sell all at the same time? Do I keep some portions? Of course some magical suggestions to make up the loss, especially in the RESP. Overall I am still at a positives in all accounts, so I have not made all bad choices but these are dragging me down and I am tired of seeing the red return. Thanks Ken ..... :-)

Q: What is the difference between CEF and PHYS? Which is the better one to own in a rising gold market? Thank you.

Q: A year ago a member asked about BL.UN. You had suggested RBOT ETF. They both have a MER of 0.9%. I think BL.UN is a CEF. They have quite different holdings. I am looking for a Canadian Fund or ETF with Hi TEch holdings in my RRIF. The top holding of BL.UN seemed to fit. I appreciate your view on this.

Q: I am down on this investment, do you advise holding on?

Q: Any reason eit.un is falling lately?

Q: What are the advantages/disadvantages on this levered play on Enbridge? Any other thoughts appreciated.

Q: Hi there,

I recently heard that the DKAM Capital Ideas Fund has re-opened. I used to follow Jason on BNN when he made appearances and was overall impressed with his stock selection. Would you recommend his fun? Also, if I were interested in purchasing units, how would I go about doing so?

Thanks!

Q: Any thoughts on this one - i am looking for relatively safe dividend income utility play in the US. I am trying to understand how the fund pays such a high dividend when the underlying assets do not. Can you explain. It certainly has been a consistent payer over a long period of time.

Thanks

Q: I have owned this fund for a few years now and enjoy the high percent payout but am concerned as the price I payed is considerablely higher than the present price. are the overnight offerings diluting the funds or is this because the banks are lower right now or perhaps both? some of my costs were over $12.00 a share so is this a good time to cut my losses? Thankx for your great service. gord

Q: Because of the usurious rates of tax charged by the federal and provincial governments, I wonder whether you are aware of any entities, apart from REITS and other income trusts, that distribute substantial amounts of their income as ROC. I would very much appreciate any such list. Thank you.

Q: Your thoughts on this IPO. If you have to, will you favor the preferred shares or the class A. Evolve seems relativly new as a ETF's provide, do you have any concerns?
Thanks

Q: On April 2 DF had an overnight offering at 9.05. The stock is trading at 4.85. Why would anyone pay 9.05 that they can buy for 4.85? What point am I missing?

Q: Your thoughts on dfn.ca.? High volume today indicates no shortage of opinions with this one. Also how do you find out the nav? I couldn't find it on the quadravest website or anywhere else. Thanks very much.

Q: Could you please dive into this investment a bit. What specific types of things does it invest in, what is the risk profile of these holdings, and what do you think of this as a longer term income holding. If I hold KIO in my RRSP is there any withholding tax on the dividend? Thanks.

Q: Your feelings on EOS please

Q: Would you consider these two funds safe investments for income?
