Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good morning,

My plan is to purchase $50K of BX:US in my US$ non registered account but have insufficient US$ in my US$ non registered account to complete the transaction.

To save on the currency exchange cost, I'm thinking of purchasing approx $60K of ENB.CA and then journal the stock to my US$ non registered account.
Once ENB:CA has been journaled to my US$ non registered account, I would then sell the ENB:US stock and purchase BX:US for a long term hold.

Question1: Is ENB:CA a good candidate for this strategy?
Question 2: What are your thoughts on purchasing BX:US for a long term hold?
Thank you for your insight on this.

Q: You recently said in an answe to Gerry’s question that you didn’t see transcontinental as a growth stock. Please don’t take this as a criticism, but I remember a couple of years ago or so, that you recommended it because of the promise it’s new packaging acquisition offered. At that time I understood that you thought it had some wind in it’s sails. Just trying to understand if you think that this didn’t pan out. Or, if perhaps you offered it as an income stock at that time.
Thanks as always for your great assistance

Q: In a previous answer to the question "10 companies to hold for 20 years" your team selected BYD as one of 10 long term holds.

I'm curious, why you would choose BYD over MG?

Self-driving vehicles will soon be prolific and likely all electric powered, I can only imagine a dramatic decline in accidents, servicing and repairs and way fewer moving parts (internal combustion engines) to replace.

Seems like BYD is on the wrong side of innovation.

Q: Peter,

Bank profits are massively up. Normally they suffer when the interest rate differential between the deposits and loans is as squeezed as much as it is now. What is the big reason for the huge profit jump? Is it simply the loan revenue from mortgage lending, the reversal of prior loss reserves , the wealth management areas or something else?

Thank you

Paul
