Investment Q&A

Q: Will Nutrien's announcement yesterday on Prices Offering of an Aggregate of US$1 Billion of 2-Year and 3-Year Senior Notes have any long or short term effect on their stock price?
Is their present stock price a good entry point?

Q: For someone retiring in 10 years and looking to withdraw capital gains (already have high dividend payers)over the span of their retirement, what mid and large cap equities/ ETFs , including USA, would you suggest, in a non registered account . Thank-you

Q: Can you please comment on the market's negative reaction to RBA. At what price would you buy this company as a long term hold?

Q: Given the new 2024 tax on share buybacks are there specific stocks you see most likely to aggressive buying their own shares back ahead of this ?

Q: The above companies are of course different, but can you rank them on a valuation basis as possible additions to existing holdings. Comments on recent earnings reports for WCN and FSV would be helpful.
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
I need to access some cash by selling some TFSA holdings and hope you can give me advice as to the best way to go about that.
I'm nicely up on WCP and TVE, and with dividends accounted for close to break even on DBM. CTS, CURA, QST and WELL are down a lot, and GXE is down some but not too bad.
Selling 1/4 of the WCP or 1/2 of the TVE or DBM would cover my cash requirement, whereas I'd have to offload pretty much all of any one of the others at their presently reduced values to get where i need to be.
If I didn't need the cash I wouldn't sell anything at present, in the expectation that WCP and TVE will continue to do well, that DBM will at least hold steady, probably rise relatively soon and keep paying dividends, and that the others will find their way out of the woods in due course. But unfortunately I don't have that luxury.
Given the above, could you advise what i might best hold on to, and what might be best to sell in fairly short order?
Thanks!
Peter

Q: Above are my Consumer Defensive holdings. Can you please rank in terms of Value? I want to hold only 4 consumer defensive large cap buy and hold stocks - would you replace any of these 4?
Thanks!

Q: With both the US and Canadian governments announcing taxes on share buybacks could one speculate that companies might in the future start to accumulate more cash and not always having a “good” option to make good use of this cash. Almost giving some companies no choice but to issue more in dividends or start a dividend? Am I mistaken but I thought from the 1940’s to the 70 or 80’s dividend’s were quite common? This shift in taxation could be interesting the way it plays out. Your thoughts on this is greatly appreciated thank you again for all your help.

Q: GSY's YTD results are disappointing and in spite of the many positive touts (including 5i), I am losing patience in the almost 39% drop so far.

I've been interested in DOL for some time, would you recommend a swap of GSY to DOL at their current prices today? Or should I wait for the GSY report due on 11/10 before I do anything? Please advise.

Q: Hi 5i,

Would appreciate your take on GOOS recent earnings and future prospects over the next 5+ years.

Can GOOS continue to grow with weakening and potentially hostile Chinese market? Is the worst already baked in?

Thanks in advance!

Q: Can you recommend 6 quality TSX stocks that may be victims of tax loss selling yet be attractive opportunities? Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter,
Is VFV and XSP about the same except one is hedged? I have held Sienna and Chartwell for a long time and I thought from a demographic point , they would be great long term holds.. I am down alot but the dividend is great. Are these two good long term holds or since covid, the recovery maybe too long of a time given the high interests that we see. Thanks very much

Q: When looking at dividend ETF performance, are reinvested dividends included, or is the stated performance capital appreciation only, e.g. Morningstar performance for CDZ shows a 3.5% dividend and a 5 year total return of 6%.
Thanks Peter
