Investment Q&A

Q: Hi,
Can you break down simply how you decide what types of stocks/holdings you recommend hold in which account (tfsa, rrsp, non registered). I am early 30s with a long term outlook on that majority of my holdings, all drips are used (including proxy's where needed) and all contribution space is filled each year in all registered accounts.

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,
The US banks were approved for their share purchase plan. Do you think it is a good time to buy some US banks? Which one(s) do you think it is more stable and dividend safer than others? Which one has more growth potential? Can you please recommend one or two?

Thank you,
Yiwen

Q: I own convertible debentures shares and many of them have been redeemed before their maturity date in the past few years . The most recent case is DII.DB.U which is being redeemed 5 months before maturity. Why do companies do this? Are they saving that much that is in their best interests not to pay the outstanding interest amount for the remainder of the period to maturity?
