Q: One of my largest holdings in my RRSP is Blackstone L.P. Today they announced they are converting to a Corporate structure as at 7.1.19. It appears the market likes it. What effect will this have on the dividends (ie: yield & taxes), the SP now and going forward in your estimation? Should I buy more (to a reasonable % of course), sell or hold?

Q: Hi 5i I was stopped out kxs this morning when it dropped to $76.13 and $.02 below my stop and then recovered to to over $77. My question is should I be selling at some point close to the stop and if so how would you determine when. I know you are all about buy and hold but in a time of uncertainty I would rather limit my losses. That said I do suspect that the market makers are manipulating the price to take the little guys stops out and profit at their expense. To frame this as a clear question can you recommend a strategy to minimize needless losses or suggested reading on the subject.
thanks

Q: As you stated; QST traded 900K+ shares yesterday at 4.60. If we were to assume this was an insider selling off, could we read into that and say that if you were taking a new position in this stock that you could hold off as this may pull the price down to or below that price? Under that same assumption, could we also take this a signal that it may be fully or overvalued at this point. I like the momentum though am weary when there are such emeded gains recently. What is the insider ownership of QST and what kind of positions do the chairman have? Any recomendation for someone trying to get on this train..

Cheers,

Q: This question may be more for the forums and if so I can redirect it there.
I want to add a contribution to my RRSP to defer income tax. What would be the best source? I can move stock from my TFSA thus opening up more contribution room for next year. I can move stock from a non-registered account or I could make the contribution from cash reserves held in an EQ Bank savings account.

Q: I know the QCOM is a healthy company and is well positioned technologically .
With look at P/E and P/B , I am just wondering if it is time to sell and deploy the funds elsewhere. It has been a rocky HOLD, and I am finally in the black on the name .
Now I am down on NVDA ( who would have thought ) .
These names have not been kind to me ... I expect risk, but I understand that these are the best companies in their sectors ( or do you recommend others ? ). Thanks again ,

Q: I have significant USD in my RRSP in cash. Do you have any recommendation for a balanced USD ETF even if it’s trading in the USA that is “low” risk conservative and might expect 4 to 5% annual gains? Thanks. Peter

Q: Hi
After reading the most recent Q about AD, I am left as an investor realizing information was in the hands of National before widespread and publicly available.
Please comment on why it is appropriate for NA to have information that was unavailable to regular investors.............and who may have been buying today and therefore lost money. (with full awareness would not have been buying)
What is an investor to think about management who did not reveal publicly before revealing to at least one analyst? From my understanding this is illegal. There have been documentaries written on this form of behavior.
Thanks

Q: 1) How do you feel about picking up a few shares of CAR.UN, especially if you can get the shares below the financing price of $49.

2) Do you have any thoughts regarding CAR.UN's trading over the last handful of days, post equity offering (sharp increases, followed by sharper decreases, relatively speaking for a reit)?

3) Historically speaking, despite decent distribution increases, as a result of the share price increase, is this generally speaking the lowest CAR.UN's yield has been?

Thanks.

John
