Hello Peter
I was shocked the other day to see your answer to a question on Currency Exchange International CXI in which you say is is an American Company and thus deemed to be a Foreign Investment from CRA's perspective requiring a Form 1135 report. To me it seemed to be just another TSX listed company!
Is there any reliable way to find which TSX listed companies are actually Foreign or do I just have to search for the company corporate head office address and assume a foreign address is the key?
Are all US [and foreign] companies with a TSX listing considered foreign? And are Canadian companies interlisted in New York considered not foreign?
I wish to avoid the tax and dividend complications of foreign ownership.
Thank you.... Paul K

Q: Hi,
Could you please provide an update on your outlook for Aviglon? The stock had a good run lately, do you see more upside potential in short term (long term) or it is time to take profits and switch to another name? I am currently looking for growth, but will have to re-balance portfolio for income when I retire in 3-5 years.
Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter,
Could I have your opinion on Bombardier Pref B ? I have about a 50 % loss if I sold today, don't mind the income but concerned about future down side. Would you sell and move on ?
Thx
Dave

Q: I bought Regal life style at a much higher price, I am thinking of averaging down, Previous posting indicated that you have positive views of the company. Doing my research I noticed that there is a high insider selling by ELAD Canada at current price, so I am reluctant to add to it. What is your opinion on the high insider selling for this company.
Thanks
Thanks

Hello Peter
I bought Northwest Healthcare Real Estate Investment Trust nearly 2 years ago at $11.42 a share and I hold only a 1% position. The dividend is very good at 8.5% and I would assume quite reliable given the nature of the business. Do you agree?
However I am concerned that ever since I bought it the shares slowly have slid steadily lower over the last 2 years with lower highs and lower lows pretty much wiping out the income from the dividends. At present it is near a lower high [I am "only" down 18%] and wonder if I should just sell out and take my loss? My only two holdings in this sector are the 1% in NWH.UN and a 1% position in Chartwell CSH.UN.
Do you consider Chartwell to be in the health sector or in the REIT sector?
Should I just hold on to Northwest for income or should I sell it and add the proceeds to Chartwell which I think you believe to be a "better" company.
Thank you.... Paul K

Q: Hello Folks:
Even with the down-slide, we have have done pretty well with our hefty position in Gilead Sciences (20%). With their future profitability reduced somewhat by competitors,
would you stick with them or perhaps look for another name in U.S. health care sector or perhaps you could recommend an ETF. We are happy to continue with Gilead if you think best.
Thanks for your great service

Q: I am wondering what you think about the Rec Room concept. It seems very similar to the Dave&Busters they were considering earlier. Food and Entertainment is a crowded and competitive space, certainly compared to were they are now.Will their current expertise transfer easily to the new environment?
Q: Are you still comfortable with all the components of the Canadian Money Saver Model Portfolio for the next couple of years or are there any suggestions for changes.

Q: Hello,
Energy producers represent 5.4% of my RRIF portfolio (TOU,VET,WCP) and Energy infra such as pipelines (ENB,IPL,PPL) & midstream (KEY) represent 10.4% of the portfolio. I intend to reduce the latter on an equally weighted basis and use the proceeds to buy BAD & BIN.
Your opinion please & what sector would they best fit in?
Thanks
Tony

Q: Hello, am considering a couple of US listed socks, one of which is NXPI which has done well the past year. Is it too late to get in? The other is CNV, an e-commerce company which Barron's in January reported is given an overweight recommendation by Morgan Stanley. Feel free to treat as two questions. Thanks to all at 5i for the tremendous service. Bill

Q: Hello,
I have a question in two parts. I know it's hard (if not impossible) to predict where the price of oil (and as a result our dollar) is going in the short term. Having said that it seems that oil has been stabilized some what and a drop to 30$ (for any long time) in not likely. With that in mind:
1. Is it still worth it exchanging C$ to $US at current prices to buy US equities? and if yes which ones for a 2+ years hold on a non registered account.
2. Some energy stocks doubled since lows in December. Are there any that you would pick today (that even if oils goes down for a couple of months) will not go broke and have the best chance to multiply.
Thank you

Q: Hi; What's your view on TSo3? I purchased it in Nov and I am down 28.9%. I see analysts have a target price of 2.50-3.75 for 2015 and still showing as a buy rating. It slowly keeps going down. The FDA approval has not seemed to have made a difference. Thanks for your opinion.
