Investment Q&A

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

Q: This is a comment on Joe technique for currency conversion. Last time I called TD discount broker to do a similar transaction, I was told that security regulation wouldn't allow me to own two positions one short and the other one long for the same security. The trade could be cancelled if I do it. Don't know if this is a security regulation or TD regulation?

Q: You have XHY in the Income Portfolio. It has not performed well overall. I did a graphical comparison with ZWH and ZWH looks far superior. ZWH has increased in the last year whereas XHY has gone south.

I'm thinking of selling XHY and buying ZWH. May I have your thoughts on this move?

Thanks ... Ron

Q: I hold some Interpipe, Transalta Renewables (RNW ) and Pembina (PPL). All still at gains, but gains are eroding on a consistent basis. All are held for income as opposed to capital gains. Do you see any distribution cuts for these pipeline/utilities in the next couple years? Are recent distribution increases justified or misleading attempts to support stock prices? What is your opinion of the high-yielding pipes/renewables?

Thank-you

Q: I have the same security in 2 individual trading accounts. In one account my price is below cost so if I sell I trigger a capital loss. However I am above cost on the average of the two accounts. How does that figure for claiming a capital loss?

Q: Wouldn't a downturn in the economy be neutral for this company as it backs up the loans with overcollateralization (I think it was 130% last quarter) and therefore an increase in company defaults would end up okay for their balance sheet once things were worked out? Thanks.

Q: Hi Team,
Could you give me your view on Netflix? Can you also explain how an investor can expect to profit given the astronomical PE, other than a pyramid structure or some other similar scam?
As always, your advice is most appreciated.

Q: This is in regard to your reply to Donald's Nov. 29 question about the $10000 TFSA contribution. Do I understand correctly that you are suggesting that after having already contributed $10000 for 2015, we should "go for it" and contribute another $10000 on Jan.1 2016 (if the gov't hasn't made any announcement by then)?

Q: Yesterday, I read a disturbing article on Seeking Alpha that Timmons Gold might be bankrupt & cease operating in 2016. It is the only gold stock that I own & I bought it at $2.20. It is now $0.20. Should I give up on this stock and sell while it still has some value. Gold seems like it will take a few years to bounce back. 1 year ago Timmons Gold had a bright future but it's debt has grown and might be too large to pay back. Also what is your opinon of the Seeking Alpha site, thanks.
