Investment Q&A

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

Q: In Oct. 2014, I noticed that IRG was about to initiate paying a dividend and, following your general observation that it is a good sign when a company does this, I bought some shares that are now up 62%. The shares do seem now to be in holding pattern and I am writing to ask if you think it is time to move on or if you see a continuing upside and would suggest hanging on.
Thank you for your great service,
Bob.

Q: Hello 5i.
Would you please consider the following as recommend a company or two that may fit the bill?

I have been looking at the tech stocks run up in USA but not yet joined the ride. I do believe FB, Amazon and Google are super companies and stocks but can not seem to pull the trigger given high price and buying in US$.

Is there a Tech stock worth purchasing that would sub for these US juggernauts(business growth and price appreciation) - Or do I just move on Google or Amazon?
Does TIO fit the bill given its high score as one of Canada's fastest growing companies?

Thanks for your contributions.
Dave

Q: Hi Peter and Team! I have a question about the rules of TFSA investing. Supposing , For simplicity sake, I was allowed 50,000 to invest in a TFSA. The TFSA then generated 20,000$ capital gain. I then decided to buy something with the 70,000 $ and cashed out my TFSA. A year later I decided to replenish my TFSA. Am I allowed to put back only the original $ 50,000 or can I replace the full 70,000$ ? Thank you, and have a great weekend, Tamara

Q: I bought a few shares of RPI.UN for the 10% dividends. It does nothing but go up. A few dollars turned to a lots of good dollars. I have been thinking of selling it since $11, but every time I check, it goes up. Not enough shares to start trimming. Hate to do my usual, watch it go up and then down. Where do you think RPI.UN is heading?
