Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am a Canadian and have built up a good position in BPY.UN during this sell-off. Their website says their distributions are to dividends but Flow Thru (income) and taxed in the hands of shareholders.

They supposedly issue T5013s.

Is it better to hold in RRSP/TFSA or non-registered?

If I am borrowing to invest in a non-registered, do you think the interest can be written off taxes like buying other securities can be?

Thank you
Bruce

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

As luck would have it after being under water for two years on GILD I dumped it at $63.

It’s gone straight since then mostly because of a possible covid vaccine . I note you like it and while I obviously hope they or someone has a vaccine soon , I wonder about your thoughts for it going forward if they do not come up with a vaccine for covid .

Thanks for all you do

Q: I was involved in the Tech crash, the Financial crash and now the the Covid crash. I learned to have good quality stocks, be patient, and the stock market will be higher after this ends than before this crisis started - believe in capitalism. I also would like to thank you and your team for giving investors sound, well thought out and realistic advice. Give knowledge to others that you would give yourself and use knowledge NOT emotion. Take care and stay healthy.

Q: I'm trying to decide what to do with TSGI in one account. I'm holding 1000 shares (-12% @$35.43) which comprises 4.4% of my main account. Given the large amount I hold, the commission to sell on the London Exchange is immaterial so I thought I'd probably hold for the Flutter shares. However, with the move up today I'm wondering if I should sell and move on. If there is reasonable/substantial future upside I'd hold. My time horizon is likely 2-3 years, maybe longer. Sell or Hold?

Q: Canoe Financial commented about a new product

"We believe, that coupled with our award-winning fixed income teams, it creates a balanced solution that will reward investors regardless of market conditions," concluded Hulston."
Is it really possible for the product they are referring to

"Apr 13, 2020
Canoe Financial Launches New Defensive Global Balanced Solution With Enhanced Risk Management"

to reward investors regardless of market conditions?

Q: A lot of the precious metal stocks have been on the rise in the past few weeks and yet First Majestic Silver seems to be on a steady decline. Any thoughts on the reason it is declining? I am wondering if I should cut my losses on this stock, sell it and replace it with PAAS. Your thoughts on this move would be appreciated.

Thanks as always

Q: Has your view of ITP changed based on their supply of the materials needed to make hospital gowns and the potential shift to making these in canada in the long run. I see that Stanfield has re-opened its manufacturing facility in Truro to make the gowns but the material is coming from ITP. Does this part of their business offset the slowdown on other items.

Q: The Prime Minister just announced a $750M fund to reduce emissions in the energy sector. This seems to be the sort of thing Questor Technologies does. Do you think this will give a boost to QST stock? Are there any other companies that are in this space and could benefit?
