Q: Hello Peter, I think I need to add to my US holdings. Air travel doesn't look like it's going away any time soon. And while I'm not interested in an airline stock, can you please offer any comments you might have on Boeing (understanding that you don't focus on US companies). Thanks, James

Q: Can IWO be held inside a TFSA since it consists of american stocks. Is there a 15% claw back on the dividend. Would it really be considered a growth name since it consists of many companies. Thank You for the great service.
Q: Reported recently & missed by .01. Based on TTM: ROE 76%, EGrowth 59% -reports Q1 15 mid May, I believe? I was thinking of waiting for these results before buying for longer hold as oil prices start increasing later in the year as long as the dividend is sustainable-pay me to wait??

Q: Good morning,General tax question.Bought US shares in 2012 at exchange rate of 1.0008 and sold in 2014 at rate of the day of 1.1074. Do I adjust the cost at rate of day and sales price at rate of day before calculating gain/loss or calculate gain/loss and convert that figure only at rate of day of sale?

Q: Hello,
I know that a lot of folks would benefit if 5iResearch would start covering US stocks. I understand (from your previous answers) that this is very hard as you would like to have the same internal rules apply (that the team will not be allow to trade US equities) and because of that it's hard to find (good) people. I was wondering if we can find a middle of the road solution. The US market is much (much) bigger than the Canadian one and as such (and considering the size of 5iResearch membership) I think it's highly unlikely that will move the market one way or the other. And on top of that (not sure if it can be enforced 100%) you can require that any team member will not be allow to buy the stock(s) before the portfolio is made public.
Just a thought. Maybe there are other ideas out there.
Thank you
Marios

Q: At what point would it be safe to start looking at Molycorp again? From a $77 high in 2011, when the market seemed to be in love with it, it is now trading below $1. This morning's announcement -- that Siemens has selected MCP to supply its rare earth materials for the next 10 years -- has given it a tremendous bounce of course, but what should we be looking for before deciding to get back in -- if ever? Your comments are always valued.
Q: Agent. Would this be a good share to have in my portfolio.Eddie.
Q: Many cannabis startups are stagnant or declining, but CANN seems to be finding its feet. Is this just noise, or is CANN's pick-and-shovel focus getting traction in the market?
Q: Would appreciate your opinion on JOY. I bought at $44.04US and watched it go down. Thomson Reuters rates it a average score of only 3. Is it time to sell, or hold for a turn around in the mining sector, where most of their equipment is sold. Thanks Art

Q: I am considering moving some money from an S&P 500 based ETF to a TSX 60 based ETF here now that the resource stocks decline has affected the TSX and made it better value here than the S&P 500. Am I thinking straight or does the momentum of the S&P 500 mean that I should keep my money in it? Diversification is not an issue for me, I am well diversified no matter what I do with this money, I am thinking in terms of timing here. Thanks.
Q: I have some US cash and I would like to earn relatively safe dividend income with it. I have found AT&T but I would like to hear your best ideas please.
