Investment Q&A

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

Q: I wish to buy CDN cos that pay their dividends in US $ for my Scotia ITrade non registered account. I do not want the divs converted to CDN $ but go to a US $ bank account for US vacation. How do I set this up? Can I buy the stock with CDN $ (on TSX) or am I going to have to buy on an American exchange in US$. Scotia has told me the divs will converted to CDN then converted back to US (with fees for each conversion of course).I am not getting a clear answer from Scotia as to do this.
Your (or members) advice is appreciated.

Q: Hello,
I have my accounts with Investorline. I have access to research reports from both S&P Global (quantitative stock reports) and Morningstar Equity Research as part of their service. Are these a good source of information or would you have any red flags that I should be aware of before using these as part of my research?
They also provide analyst ratings and target prices which I always take with a grain of salt. I know in past comments 5i doesn't view these favorably but do these offer any value to investors or should we just ignore these?
Reason I ask is there are always guests on BNN that do not view analysts very favorably for independence and other reasons. After hearing this many times, it gives one pause.
Thanks,
Dan

Q: Thanks for the great service. I have a general question I hope you can answer for me. My understanding is that when a person passes away, their investments are deemed to be sold on the date of their death for tax purposes. However, can these investments, (stocks, mutual funds, ETFs, etc.) be transferred directly to the beneficiary (not a spouse) without being sold? And would this be true no matter what type of account? (Cash, RRIF, or TFSA)
Thanks for your help.
