Q: In a large cash acct, I have 1 loser-Surge. Based on existing losses & my opinion that it will take several years to break even, I plan to use the loss against similar gains in one of two existing stocks that have not shown much upward movement over the last year or so. They are BCE & LNR. Obviously, BCE has the much larger dividend but, LNR has likely more upside. Your opinion & rationale is valued. Thank you.
Q: CAD Hedged vs Non-CAD Hedged ETFs. For US exposure ETF's, which is better to buy in my TFSA - hedged or non-hedged....and what simple reasoning can I use to decide?
Q: Could you please comment on these 2 {FTS & SAP} Companies for a long term hold. I'm looking for income and modest appreciation. Also, do they qualify for the Dividend Tax Credit on a Non-Registered account.
I purchased DIS just over a year ago at $111.58 USD. It closed today at $111.30 USD, showing that I'm down 4.4% in my BMOInvestorline brokerage account.
Math isn't my forte but that unrealized loss doesn't sound accurate to me. Is it somehow a reflection of the currency fluctuations? I don't understand.
Q: Are there any ETFs that you would recommend that provide for a hedge against a general market downturn for both Canada & the US that can be used as part of a portfolio?
Q: I Saw a podcast from Peter on the website about how to pick a stock a few weeks ago. I did not have a chance to listen to it at the time. Is it still available ? I did not find it on the website. Thank you.
Q: When doing my research, I have a defined method that includes 5I views but also Morningstar (for Quantitative view) Thomson Reuters for fundamental views and forward looking views and if buying USA stocks Bloomberg. Recently my brokerage made S&P research available and I am finding contradictions in how seemingly same facts are both viewed and presented. There are several quantitative S&P views on stocks that give "sell" ratings while the others give positive ratings. I was wondering if you use any of these sites for information an if you have a bias towards one being more accurate then another. Thanks Jim
Q: Am considering adding a half position of each to my wife's TFSA. She already owns ALA, BCE, CPG, and RY. What do you think of their future earnings next quarter? Would you suggest another alternative to either one?
Thanks Jack
Q: Hi 5i,
I have held for nyx for sometime. Very very frustrating. When do they report?
I'm thinking of selling it and moving into either itc or pho. What do you think. Thank you as always.
Q: In your experience would you expect the shares of JPJ-LSE and ITX-T to trade in unison? I guess there is no way to determine how many choose the exchangeable option, my concern would be liquidity issues on the TSX and the size of the float. It looks like JPJ is up about 8% in the first couple of days on the LSE.
