Investment Q&A

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

Q: Not being familiar with geophysical analyses and terms makes it very difficult for the lay investor to understand the significance of such reports. Could 5i please comment on the recent copper/gold survey results by Colorado Resources (CXO) on their northwest BC property. Would this play be a good 'bet' compared to findings by other exploration companies?
Also, how common is it for potential investors to phone companies for their comments on such reports? Wouldn't they tend to embellish their answers? Finally, is 5i familiar with CXO management? Thank you. John.

Q: Shares of LNCO Linn Energy share owners, are taking a bath today. I can find no news to justify this and am considering adding to my position. Is this a continuing reaction to the Barrons article, or are there other reasons for the pullback ? What are your thoughts on the company ?
Thanks Garth

Q: Hello, Peter and all,
Just a bit of housekeeping:
I have noticed that my sessions are timed, this seems to be new. I am forced to maintain a constant check on your questions/answers during the day because your printed answers to questions are published according to the date of the question and not to the sequence of your answers which I would prefer. You should ask all members about this because not only i would rather have one time a day to follow your answers (which have grown from 5 to probably 15 per day!)but i will not be timed out as i would not spend a lot of time on the site.
I also noticed that you use cookies (new too). I would like to know for what purpose as i would also express my discomfort about the practice. Cookies are not my best friends, and this is a members only site.
Thanks for your comments, and be assured that these questions are not diminishing my interest for your excellent and most needed financial letter.

Q: Hello 5i Research,
When holding US dividend paying stocks there is a 15% with holding tax applied to any dividends held outside an RSP.

If the after tax dividend rate on the US dividend is equal to a Canadian dividend, is there any tax advantage, as the with holding tax has already been paid on the US dividend.
Thanks.

Q: A recent article suggested that stocks newly added to the TSX composite index may see a price bump due to buying by index funds. Have you seen evidence to support this thesis for past additions? The three securities added this time are: Norbord (NBD); Dundee Int'l REIT (DI.UN); Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers (RBA). You've expressed generally positive opinions about these three in the past. What are your views now, either in the context of their being added to the index or simply on their own merits. Thank-you.

Q: I have small positions in the ETFs CGL and SVR. Down in both, and am wondering if it might be a good plan to replace them with G and SLW, thinking that any gains in gold and silver might be levered by the producers. I am holding for the long term. Any thoughts? Thanks, Jim
