Investment Q&A

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

Q: When Lumine starts trading later this month, I will want to add to the shares that I will receive by virtue of my CSU holding. Is it your expectation that there will initially be some selling pressure and hence price weakness as investors who do not see Lumine as a core holding, sell the shares that they received? Also as was the case with Topicus, can I assume that an additional source of selling will be index funds who will be forced to sell their shares?
In your opinion, when will be the optimal time to acquire additional shares - immediately after they start trading, or gradually over the following weeks?...thanks...Glenn

Q: Good morning
I have registered accounts but also 2 non registered cash accounts with 2 different banks..BMO AND TD. MY TD account is well over 100 thousand dollars. Is it protected or should I divide it.? Should part of it go into a third bank? Sorry for the confusion. Thankyou as always

Q: On Friday March 3, 2023 after the market closed it was announced that AX.UN would be dropped from the TSX Indexes at the opoen on Monday March 20. Beginning on March 1 there was a noteworthy increase in volume and the price has dropped from $9.09 to $7.86. Volume spiked on Friday March 17 to just over 7 million (about 7x average). Provided the selling pressure was due to the delisting what do you see for AX.UN going forward? It appears to be quite undervalued so much that a takeover would seem likely. Thoughts? How safe is the dividend? The payout ratio looks reasonable. Thanks

Q: this is a tax-related question on possible capital gains inclusion rates changes.
Currently the rate in Canada sits at 50% but I believe there could be some pressure to increase this rate for the upcoming budget as a means to generate more tax revenue. I know they have been as high as 75%.

Of course, no one can predict what changes a government will make on Budget Day but I wondered if they increased the inclusion rate on capital gains to say 75%, would they also have to increase the inclusion rate for capital losses to the same 75%?

I, like I'm sure many others, am sitting on quite a few unrealized capital losses (admittedly from my poor investment decisions!)

Can you let me know if I'm thinking about things in a 'smart' way? I want to delay any selling of my losing positions till after The Budget, just in case the Capital Loss inclusion rate goes up in the next budget?

Q: Just a follow up to my prior question. I was under the impression that Kxs is very expensive . Can you please give me an idea of whether you would consider if it was or not and what the numbers tell you.

Also, when you answer questions about stocks to buy you rarely mention TRI. This stock also has done amazingly well this 12 months +15%. How do you rate TRI as a buy at these prices and compared to other stocks you like?

Thanks

Q: Hello 5i Team,

Could you please comment on NWPX's earnings and guidance, which caused the stock price to drop 15% today. Would you consider it a buy, hold, or sell, for the next 3+ years? Could you please suggest some better growth and safer alternatives in this space.

Thanks!
