Investment Q&A

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

Q: Are dividends on Bond ETFs taxable as interest? If so, they would not qualify for the dividend tax credit. Would it be wiser to look for dividend bearing shares such as BCE with a low beta and a good dividend that would qualify for the dividend tax credit?

Q: NYX Gaming continues to trade lower each day and yet there seem to be a number of positives on this company. First of all is there a short position on this company or is this decline due more to tax loss selling. Secondly TDWaterhouse shows a debt to capital ratio of 52%. Should I as a shareholder be concerned about this especially since I am considering buying more. TD also shows the cash flow as $0.31 and the price/cash flow as 5.4. Do you consider these adequate numbers to offset the debt load. Thirdly are these figures from TD reasonably accurate and if not could you please advise. Thanks as always for the excellent service that you provide.

Q: I'm down 26% in D.UN and down 88% in ALL, a tungsten co. D.UN has been moving up somewhat lately. Either will provide a tax loss of about $2,500. If I sell D.UN I recoup about $7,000 to allocate anew. A sell of ALL recoups only $300. I'm concerned a US interest rate will knock D.UN & REITS back a bit and a 2nd rate hike spring/summer will really push them down. ALL finally has the Korean tungsten mining play going forward it seems, so maybe some hope for price increase in 2017. Sell one? Sell both? Thanks 5i.

Q: I have had my eye on these 2 stocks for a while and the current prices look reasonable for a long term entry point. Both have been very acquisitive. From what I can glean from the annual and quarterly presentations CGI is in the process of delevering from their last acquisition and could be setting up for another. ATD is in the process of digesting their latest acquisition too. My question is has either company issued equity to fund some or all of their prior acquisitions? Or have they all used cash/debt?

Q: I did not sell it when you advised. Now I am down 80 percent on it. It is in my registered account, so no tax advantage. Do you think it is worth holding if I can, for 5 years? Or should I just run with what I have left. Do you think will this be profitable or will get bought by someone in future(3 years)? Will they need to borrow money next year to survive?
