Q: Hello 5i,
Peter asked a question about Norbert's Gambit for RBC specifically. I have just completed two Norbert's today, one each way, using D.I. and will post to the Forums. If Peter is interested, he can check the forums for my post and then ask any questions he may have.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Mike

Q: I don't fully understand Crypto Currency/Coins. I have asked many people I can't understand why it valued the way it is and it seems like the new Tulipmania.
I somewhat understand blockchain, but I don't how value of that technology will be in the end, but some explained to me that the coins somewhat get/pay to be on the blockchain which might be good for certain things and companies.
This craze looks speculative and not really an investment, but does it make any sense to put a small amount of mad money into a few crypto's or is it just a matter of time before the house of cards comes crumbling down.

Q: I know you have answered a lot of questions about Norbert's Gambit. I've read some of the answers but not been certain of exactly how to proceed. I searched for a description that would apply specifically to RBC and found this video (there is also a PDF).

It doesn't mention the need to call the brokerage’s customer service desk and ask them to journal the shares over to the U.S. dollar side of the account.
I haven't tried this yet. Would you add comments?
Thanks,

Q: Can I hold the same stock in a registered account and in a non-registered account, US or Canada, and trade the non-registered shares as the price fluctuates?
E.G. Hold NEM in my non-registered US account and hold NGT in my registered RIF. I would trade NGT based on the current market.

Q: Buffet rekindled a concern in his recent annual meeting which I have had for a long time. He seems to think that it would be better for the average investor to be invested in index funds. This year he started out by asking which were the 20 largest capitalization companies in the world today. Then he showed the 20 largest in 1989. He asked how many remain among the largest today. The answer was zero. I would have gone to index funds before but I have large capital gains in my largely Canadian taxable accounts. I did try to adjust this by buying only US index funds in my registered accounts. But, then I thought that I already have so many individual stocks that a few more won't matter that much. So, I also bought individual stocks in my registered accounts. I know that you cannot offer individual portfolio advice. But, it would be useful to have your perspecitve on Buffet's advice and the dangers of indivual stock picking for most people. If you could fix my personal dilemma that would be a bonus!
thanks

Q: Dear 5i,
I have a question about MAGT and IPO's in general.
I am have no experience participating in an IPO so I had a few questions.
Can the IPO price vary after one commits to purchasing a set number of shares?
Is the broker commission embedded within the stock price?
When do the shares typically start trading on the normal market?
In the case of MAGT it looks like the IPO shares started trading on the open market
within a day. For small investors do you recommend waiting and purchasing on the open market? Thanks

Q: As the Canadian dollar strengthens I am curious about the advantages of journaling some of my Canadian stocks to the US side of my account. As an example, there is an obvious benefit to convert CAD cash to USD cash when CAD is at .85 USD vs. when CAD is at .70 USD BUT Is there any benefit to journal say 1000 shares of BNS from Canada to US when the dollar is at .85 vs. when the dollar is at .70?

Q: Hello 5i,
I have a general question regarding the P/E ratio in Portfolio Analytics. Do you have a "rule of thumb" about when that ratio tips a stock from being a value stock- i.e. relatively low P/E to "normal" or "average" to one which has become "high risk" due to an elevated P/E ratio? Is there a range within a sector or is it complete individual per equity based on other (unknown to me) considerations?
To specify, in terms of the P.A. P/E, my portfolio ranges from <-5.7 & -2.7> for BIPC and BEPC respectively and then proceeds in a range of gradation to EIF at 48.7, WSP at 51.4 and PBH at 55.9.
At what point do I look at these numbers from the perspective of "actionable" information?
I can totally see where this might be far too complex to answer in a question so if you can point out any specific resources that might help, that would be great.
Many thanks!!

Q: Good morning,
I read somewhere about trading eroding away at fees. I am a very long term investor and I tend to hold positions for a long time. I am currently with BMO Investorline and get charged $9.95 per trade. My question is adding to dividend stocks to increase my payouts in the portfolio.For example obviously you are not going to add to say BNS with a buy of only $100.00, the trade fees would be too much.
What would be the appropriate number be to add to positions? $500, $1000, $1500 or other keeping fees in mind to not take away all your profits? I always find this difficult to see if it is worth while or not.
Also I keep wishing BMO would lower their fees but hasn't happened yet.
Thanks
