Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello Peter;
NTAP, SQ, TEAM, ANET, WDAY
I read your article in the Financial Post. I had been following NTAP & SQ but other 3 others were just as good. Thank you.
I suggest you please include US stocks you find interesting in 5i. It is hard to make money in the Canadian market. I understand you have non-conflict pledge for the Canadian market and therefore you do not invest here but invest in the US. I and others would have no problem if you include US stocks with a declaration that you have invested in it. Come to think about it, you may do the same for the Canadian market.

Q: I'm considering reentering Caledonia and I'm trying to figure out what is behind the recent drop. The Zimbabwe "election" seems to be resolved without too much turmoil. Gold has been weak, but with an AISC of $856 the company still has good earnings to support the dividend. Reduced taxes offset the somewhat weaker production results from the last quarter and future production increases are forecast. Finally the proposed acquisition of a further 15% interest in the mine appears to be on good terms for the company. The drop to me seems overdone and I'm thinking that a move back to the $10-11 range would be reasonable. I'm interested in your thoughts.

Thanks, Jason

Q: Thanks to the recommendations by 5i, I now have a good problem on my hands as it pertains to capital gains. Due to selling of aviglion, syz, aif, sj and trimming wsp, csu and sis in a unregistered account I will have to claim capital gains.

My question is that I am currently under water on Agnico, Teck, WCP and WEF.

Would you recommend selling any or all of these holdings and buying them back in 30 days? If I did I could defer all my gains. I dont mind claiming some capital gains as that day must come (fingers crossed). Could you list in order which ones you would let go and by back, or are all of them likely to stay flat for at least 30 days?

Thanks!

KC

Q: This is a tax question. I appreciate your help.
Let’s say you have a non- registered account. You A) own a Canadian dividend payer, like TD. It pays a dollar in dividends. You also have B) a ‘ partial return of capital’ payer, like BEP.UN. It pays a combination of dividend and return of capital. So after the gross ups, and all that, what’s left in each case. Put another way, what is the better after tax return? Thx Frank
