Investment Q&A

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

Q: There were a couple of questions recently about dividends/distributions being 'return of capital' (ROC) which made me wonder how a company raises money to pay ROC? Does it sell shares ahead of the dividend date?

Q: Hi from the West coast.
My question is what are your recommendations for a company that is increasing revenues, showing a good history of dividend increases, and is a "value" play ?
Im concerned about buying now with evaluations so high.
Thanks Rick

Q: Hello 5i,
I moved an asset from a sheltered account to a non sheltered account. I sold the same asset at a loss 10 days later. Is this a superficial loss?

Tia.

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: Had tax-loss sold LGO in September, full intending to buy back around now. But the falling price of vanadium is giving me pause. It has dropped a lot in the last week, and if it stays at this level and see Y/Y earnings taking a hit. Thank goodness they got rid of their prior sales agreement, however do you see price revovery for LGO over the next year? Based on vanadium pricing it seems more pain to come unless this is already baked into the valuation.

Q: In years past, I attended 3 of Larry Berman's travelling roadshows held in major cities across Canada. I like him and find him very personable. Also, he's a polished seminar presenter. However, what I took away from each of those events was "impending recession" and "lower for longer". Eventually I stopped attending. Since then, when a local roadshow would be planned, I'd be e-mailed (maybe 2x). This past month, I was e-mail 'bombed' with no fewer than eight (8) reminder emails from Larry (over a two week period) inviting me to register for his seminar. What do you think that might mean ;-)

Q: Hello,

I would value your assessment of MIC's recent earnings announcement as well as your commentary on what their indication that they are going to: "to actively pursue strategic alternatives including a sale of the Company or its operating businesses as a means of unlocking value for shareholders." might mean for those of us who hold this investment?

The market's initial reaction was extremely positive but having been down the "strategic alternatives" path previously with Calidus Capital, to a disastrous conclusion, makes me personally rather circumspect. Thank you!
