Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi, I just have a question about holding CAD listed stocks that currently pay dividends in CAD$. If the stocks are also US listed, how do I go about getting the dividends in US$ if I wanted to?? Do I need to ask my broker to convert the cad stock to the US equivalent? In that case, would they just convert it at the current FX rate and would I get them to journal it over? Would I use norbert gambit to do this possibly to save on FX conversion? Any advice would be great!

Thanks!

Q: Good Afternoon,
I currently hold some TSGI shares in my TFSA and with the recent rally I'm almost back to even ( I know not a great investment strategy trying to break even). With the concern of increased regulatory risk around the takeover I am considering selling and jumping into QSR? According to the charts looks like support is in the $86 range and could turn around and challenge the recent high of around $106? If it breaks this could run to $128 technically speaking. The name looks interesting with Burger King and Popeye's, not so much Tim Horton's. Thoughts on this as a trade? Or perhaps sell TSGI and get into IPL or ENB, ENB looks like it's breaking out?
Thank-you

Q: I have been monitoring the above list of stocks. I have some cash to deploy in the names. Can you please list the above names in your preferred order to purchase them. Which ones you like the best? Should I wait for tax loss selling season to see more pressure on the names. Thank you for your opinion.

Q: I'm looking at the dividend return on the food royalty companies, which look very attractive. I don't own anything in this area. Is there an ETF that holds a bundle of these companies? If so, is that a good way to get in? Or rather, buy one or more companies. If so, which ones. Thanks!

Q: I would like to add to my position on this, but am concerned about the valuation.
According to Morningstar, consensus forward P/E is 17.67.
BUT, the TTM earnings are $2.24 per share. If the forward P/E is correct, the forward earnings would have to be north of $5 per share, which doesn't seem to me to be realistic.
What do you think is the forward P/E? If it is over 20, I would likely look elsewhere.

Q: I have gains that account for two 8% positions in my TFSA in both CGI Group and Restaurant Brands. I was thinking of selling either CGI Group or Restaurant Brands and replacing that one position with three smaller positions in Constellation Software, Enbridge and Brookfield Infrastructure.

Would this be a move you endorse to increase dividend income and eps growth potential, and if so which of CGI Group or Restaurant Brands would you sell?

Thanks.

John
