Q: CXI(TSX) is deemed a foreign investment, as it is domiciled in the US. I guess I should have noticed that before I bought it. Would that affect which account one should buy it in( registered or not), with respect to US withholding tax etc.? Also useful to note this for the 100K foreign reporting requirements.

Q: For James, I too received the TD dividend (and a CXR one) in my WebBroker account showing "Trade date" Feb. 2 & "Settlement date" Jan.31. Because the payment date of Jan. 31 was a non banking day, a Saturday, the next banking day, Monday is the actual credit day to appear in the account. I know banks love to nickel and dime us but had James written a cheque for the 31st on the strength of the dividend being deposited and the bank bounced it because it only showed in the account on the 2nd I believe he would have a legitimate beef. Anyway, any profit made by banks in this fashion will eventually be returned to the shareholders, us, via dividends.

Q: As of tonight, February 2, 2015, TD still has not paid its dividend which was promised to its shareholders for January 31st. I wonder if any TD Waterhouse members received their dividends on time? I wonder what TD would charge me if I was late paying them for a loan of $50.00 (roughly the cost of one share)? I wonder if my service provider will record the dividend as being received on Feb when the dividend finally arrives or will it back dated to Jan 31?

Q: In my last question to you I said that I was over-weight in financials due to the drop in prices of oil stocks. My holdings are AD 14.51%,Counsel 3.14%, DH Corp. 34.6%, EFN 11.77%,Fiera 5.4%, Gluskin GS 12.23% and HCG 18.30. I just bought HCG in the last week of Jan as it was down. Counsel was just a flyer. DH I bought at $18.40 in Apr 2012. I would like to trim something and would like your suggestion. Olso pls keep in mind that I intend to add to my portfolio in Feb so that will also lessen the weight of the financials. Thanks in advance. Gary

Q: In a recent interview Tom Liston said he sees venture capital shifting from resources to technology and believes there are a number of good Cdn tech companies that are IPO capable. In fact he sees a pent up demand in public markets for IPO's.
Do you get the same sense, and if so would this be a catalyst for CF?

Q: Hi 5i,

Part of my core holdings is CWB. I am attracted to the 20+ years of continuous profitability and dividend growth. It has now declined to the point where it's nearing 9x PE & 1.4x BV.

At what level would you say it becomes way too compelling not to add more to the core? It's a 4% holding currently.

Thanks,

J

Q: Since September, AHF has lost over half its value, for no obvious reason other than, perhaps, being connected to insider trading in Amaya. In a previous answer (Jan 12), after weighing the pros and cons, you thought the stock was still 'buyable'; given the price depreciation, mustn't it be even more 'buyable' now?
Read Answer Asked by John on January 29, 2015
Q: Hello,
What is your current analysis of AHF's ability to sustain it's dividend? Has there been any changes to it's dividend in past few weeks that have been announced?
It's is difficult to find accurate info on payout ratio and debt level for this smaller cap stock. Could you provide from Bloomberg if available please?
It appears there is little downside from current price and some upside (eventually) while being paid to wait - thoughts on idea?
Thanks,

Q: Hi Peter & Team,

I'm a little concerned about the debt load of Chesswood plus its small cap. I'm considering selling my position and taking on Canaccord instead, which is not without its own risks but it looks cheap at the current value. Could I please have your opinion on this swap?

Thx
Dave

Q: Good Morning Peter,

When the Bank of Canada cut it's interest rate by a quarter point last week and a good posibility of another cut coming soon, will this change your thought on holding SLF. I thought that the one reason to hold this stock was because interest rates were going to go up a bit this year. It now seems interest rates are not going to raise for a long time now in Canada nor in the U.S. as the strong dollar is causing problems for the U.S. as well and if they raise interest rates it will cause the U.S. dollar to go even higher.

So I would appreciate your thoughts on sunlife these days.

Thanks Charlie
