Q: My young grandson has $450 to invest. I have agreed to purchase the stock (s) in a non registered account. Long term hold. I'm picking up the trading cost. Suggested a stock (s) that trades under $10. Can you recommend one or two stocks to consider. This is more of a learning exercise for him. Thanks for your wonderful service.

Q: Hi,
In Eddy Elfenbein's latest CWS Market Review, he mentions Mueller Industries as a great company that gets almost no coverage. I didn't find any previous questions on MLI here.

From my limited sources, it seems to have a low P/E and relatively low debt, and a high margin between earnings and dividend payouts. Earnings growth this year looks excellent and next year not bad.

What's your take on the company? Does it look like a good long-term investment? Thank you. Michael

Q: Are withholding taxes treated the same whether in personal taxable accounts versus being in corporate accounts? In other words, is there a benefit to having certain ETFs in personal taxable account versus a corporate account?

Thanks

Q: Hi 5I
We all know the importance of well managed companies and how it plays into long term success.
CSU has been one of the companies that has displayed a gold standard to this success.
In your professional opinions which other 5 companies show best management qualities for success for the long term? Regardless of sector. I'm not sure if you will be able to answer this question but thought it would be interesting even if some of the evidence is anecdotal.
Thanks
Cal

Q: Hi,

In a previous response you indicated that you would use ETF's to complete the fixed income portion of a portfolio. Could you explain your rationale for this as I have been under the impression that any ETF, even a bond type, carries substantially more risk that purchasing a bond directly. I have a couple of short term bond ETF's but have more money allocated directly to bonds/GIC's in my portfolio.

Thank you.
