Investment Q&A

Q: I have some extra USD money from a small US pension that is used for going to Florida in the winters. Since we have not gone in the last two years, I would like to put some of it in our TFSA. My questions are, if I buy say TD on the NY stock exchange would the dividend in US dollars be subject to 15% withholding tax. Could you please give me several companies I could buy into if this is true. Could you also give me several US companies or ETF's that would give me a dividend and hopefully growth for a long term hold. Thank you for all the help I get for being a member. Gary

Q: Happy New Year to all. With the new pill to help people with Covid 19 do you feel PFE will continue to rise or at least hold steady? The variants may be with us for awhile!
Thankyou for a solid year and here's to a HEALTHY 2022

Q: Happy New Year from Panama!

Thanking you in advance

Q: I am underweight in the Healthcare sector with only a 1.5% holding in Well. Could you suggest US and Canadian securities which would be suitable for a solid performing “ core” holding?

Secondly, I am down 39% in WELL. Should I have any concerns picking up additional shares at this level?

Q: I'm in the process of rebuilding my portfolio for 2022. It would be helpful if you could share with me a list of both Canadian and American companies that meet the following criteria:
1. They are some of your favourite companies from a fundamental perspective
2. They are currently buying back their own shares.
3. They offer a decent dividend.
4. They run businesses that offer good growth prospects for next year.
5. They currently offer good value.
6. These companies are so solid they would classify as 'core ' holdings.
At least six companies in each list would be appreciated.

Finally, I would like to express my gratitude for the support and ideas you have shared this past year. Definitely one of the best advisory services available to Canadians,

Q: Can you suggest companies right now to pick away at ,or would you wait a bit longer till tax loss season is over.
please 5 in the US and 5 in Canada.
If dividend is important which 3 stocks would you pick away at right now?

Q: Peter; With Omicron and possibly more variants in our future would PFE be a good hedge ? Thanks. Rod

Q: Looking to invest in the health care sector. Please rank these companies using the criteria of possibility of capital gains, relative security if inflation becomes a problem and fundamental strength. If you have other choices I would welcome the ideas.

Q: Hi can you recommend some healthcare etf funds that trade on the NYSE or NASDAQ, I need exposure in this sector, looking for:

Thx!

Q: Of the big blue chip pharma companies, which are your favourite that you would buy now? Please include others if you prefer others.

Q: I own Abbvie already and would like to add another company from the health care sector. What would be your next choice for a long term hold in a dividend focused portfolio? Considering maybe JNJ, PFE, BMY, AMGN, ABT, MRK.
