Q: Any chance that info like the list of Cdn stocks that pay US Dividends could be put out in excel? Excellent bit of information and would like to be able to rearrange it but my skills are too poor to copy it over to excel and get it organized to use.

Thanks

Q: I've recently transferred approx. 10% of my RRSP to US$ currency. This portion of my funds will be invested in the US market. I believe that in the medium-term, the Canadian dollar will go down again against the US dollar to the mid 70 cent range as it has in the past. When that occurs, I was planning on selling my holdings, transferring the money back into Cnd. funds and possibly just repurchasing US holdings. I know it's after the fact, but was this a good idea or am I just overcomplicating my portfolio for little gain? My retirement horizon is over 10 years away.

Q: hello 5i:
Considering an investment in NTR, BUT........when I look at a long term chart (20 years), I see a company that has, over the years, had a declining share price. Or, as you like to term it, not created shareholder value in the long term. Can you address this problem and why you think "things are different now". Can you add what you see as the "best of breed" in either the agriculture or materials space?
thanks

Q: Hi team,

I currently hold TD e-Series Funds in my RRSP and plan to replace them with other index ETFs. What would be your top 5 picks for this?
I have a high risk tolerance with a 25 year timeline.

Thank you

Q: Hi 5i,

I have seen that you like TT for industrials. How does it compare to CARR or JCI? CARR seems to be cheaper on valuation? Is TT growing faster? Could you give some reasons as to why you like TT the best?

TIA

Q: I would like to diversify my REIT holdings geographically. I currently hold a reasonable position in CAR.UN and an overweight position in TCN. I would appreciate any recommended REITS with operations in the USA or Europe that are registered in either Canada or the USA. Is there anything like another another Tricon Residential available?
With appreciation for your great service.

Q: Hi,

Can you compare and contrast AT vs WISH? I realize WISH would be considered much riskier due to market cap and and even length of time being a public company.

But I am interested to know if one has a competitive advantage over the other, are expected growth rates for next several years are substantially different between the two.

Would it be too much overlap to have small positions in both companies?

thank you for all you do,
Brad

Q: MKS is buying PHO. Would it make sense to buy MKS? Would the growth/risk/balance sheet be similar? What are the differences? Would you recommend a purchase of MKS or would you choose another company? If so, which one(s)?

Thanks for your service
