Investment Q&A

Q: Hello Peter,
IEP looks like a holding company operating various businesses. It has a peak of over $100 in 2004 and 2014, and now it is half of that value. The dividend is high at 16 percent. Is that something to worry about? Also, if i am to invest in this stock, is it better in an RRSP as outside RRSP or TFSA I may have to deal with tax forms as it is an LP in the US? Thanks very much.

Q: I am interested in investing part of my TFSA in cyber security US/Canada stocks/ETFs.
Are Cyber Security ETF (CYBR-T) and Evolve Cyber Security ETF (CAD Hedged) good buy? Are CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) and Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) good buy at their current price levels and are they high risk/high valuation, strong growth stocks?
Please provide the preference of your choices of three cyber security stocks and three ETFs and rank them, and brief reasons why you choose those stocks/ETFs. Thank you.

Q: Even after ROC I would still be showing a deficit on capital gain. Tax loss opportunity before December 31?

Q: Can I make my 2022 tfsa contribution before jan1/22 ? Thanks
Seasons greetings to the staff at 5i

Q: Hi Peter and team,
While Becton Dickinson and Stryker seem to have a lot in common (medical supplies, joint replacement, etc.) their performance has deviated greatly in recent years; (over the past year, less than 1% gain for BDX but almost 12% for SYK). The one I own (naturally) is BDX, which also has a lower P/E and a higher dividend. Two questions: (i) any idea why BDX has underperformed SYK so much; (ii) would you sell, hold on, or buy more of what many analysts say is a well-run company in a demographically promising business?
Thanks!

Q: Please give an update on Uni-Select. It had a nice move today.

Thanks, Doug

Q: Holiday Greetings! FDGE interests me as a stock to keep an eye on. I have other technology stocks but none with a focus on farming. We are retired so would consider this for our TFSA's.
I'd value your opinion on this stock. Is it a worthwhile stock to monitor?

Have a peaceful, restful holiday that is so well deserved.

Q: What do think of the acquisition? Next steps, buy, sell or hold?

Q: Any thoughts?

Q: My portfolio is low on utilities and industrials at the moment. It also needs more US and international exposure. Any suggestions for a few stocks that might be good additions at the moment? They'd be long term holds.

Q: I believe tech stocks usually go up in January, why is that ? Do you see this happening again next month ? Regarding Palentir, a year ago, you were in love with, now you just like it, what has changed other than the price, what needs to happen for you to love it again.

Many thanks,
