Investment Q&A

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

Q: We all know that interest rates will be going up, and these guests on BNN poo poo reits as an investment, and than try to explain how there picks down 60 & 70 % may eventually come back for there investors if they wait long enough. The way i see it, if a reit has good management they will do well going forward. In Canada, Car.un, they are full, in the USA the ones are around 95% full. More and more people in the future will be forced to live in an apartment, with poor wage growth, more expenses, they will never qualify for a mortgage. What do you think, am i not seeing the real picture here, high quality Reits should be held even a rising rate time?

Q: I am wondering if 5i is considering an update of your past report on companies that could be poised for a strong bounce after tax loss selling? Members would likely be very appreciative of a re-ranking of tax loss bounce candidates or new companies that have fallen more recently and could be ready to recover somewhat. A special report on the 10 best candidates for a January bounce or something like that. Might that be possible?

Q: Merry Christmas folks. Cheers to a great year with a lot of help from the excellent work done by yourselves.
I have over the past two years divested myself of all oil and gas save a small piece of RDS.A
While I don't see a large recovery for at least another, and then a slow climb at best, for oil, I am thinking maybe it is time to start thinking about a piece of a dividend paying, probably service company sometime.
Thoughts?
Cheers, safe travels and lots of smiles this holiday season

Q: So, PTG just did a share consolidation. If I have this right, in the process they whacked their dividend by about 75%! Am I correct in this? I did not find anything on the net adding this rather pertinent piece of information- if I am correct.

Does any of this suggest much better performance or should I just get rid of it .... and buy SHOP?

Thanks. And once again .... very Merry Christmas to the 5I Team.

BTW- in typical classy 5i style I admire your initiative with the year end questionnaire.

No wonder 5i is So Great!!!

Q: My question is about year end taxes for capital gains or losses. If I sell a stock on say Dec 28, is it considered a gain/loss for the 2016 tax year or 2017 tax year? The "settlement date" always appears to be three trading days after the sale date. I am guessing the "settlement date" is the date that is used for tax gains/losses - is that correct? Is there a specific date in 2016 when the gains/losses are considered to be in 2017 - Dec 28?

Q: Greetings 5i team: Could you please comment on the above stocks with respect to their current versus historical valuations? I guess I am trying to gauge the extent(if at all)their share price is being "propped up" by their yield. I think I know the sectors that are considered most vulnerable to interest rate increases, but do any companies jump to mind that could be more negatively affected than their peers, particularly if rates rose faster than the market anticipates or for the wrong reasons, i.e. inflation versus economic growth? Thank you and best wishes,
