Q: Suggestion for Pierre.
You need Cdn. a/c & a US a/c.
Purchase a large cap. Cdn interlisted stock such as RY, TD, SU & so on in your Cdn. a/c.
Ask your broker to tfr. the purchased security to your US a/c.
Sell the security in the US a/c. You now have US funds.
There is some mkt. risk but is worth it considering the huge fees saved.
You can also do it gradually to lessen mkt. risk.
Cost is 2 commissions plus mkt. risk.
If you happen to already own an interlited, tfr. to US a/c & sell.

Q: Good day,
I am looking at the financials on surge through TD Waterhouse and it does not appear that there is any cash left in the bank. Am I reading it wrong? Look under cash and short term inv.

Q: Hi, on Aug 17 you stated the following about the CAD banks:
"If you can find a better sector at 10X earnings with good dividend growth, low volatility then a switch makes sense. There just are not many sectors/stocks with those qualities."
For an income portfolio, can you advise of some other stocks in other sectors that currently have the qualities of the CAD banks as stated?

Q: Hi Team
I have a full position in Apple and am thinking of selling half and purchasing, with the proceeds, Cisco for purposes of diversification. Apple does seem to be sputtering a bit of late.

Q: Hello-
I bought a number of Reits several years ago and I am down on all of them. Interest rates are still low- in Canada, lower than several years ago, and property values are still high. Under these beneficial conditions, have most of the REITS actual financial results been poorer than several years ago? If so, why?
What conditions need to exist before the REITS' prices will go back up?
Thanks

Q: When you mention for example no more than 3 percent weighing in a stock does that mean if you have a $500,000 portfolio no more than $15,000 should be allocated to that particular stock? So it is always a percentage of total portfolio?
Q: Avo posted decent results in their latest quarter but share price has since suffered a big decline. Your comments? Thanks
