Q: New member of 5i Research, switched from Motley fool, I find the reports and coverage easier to follow. I don't see US equities coverage. Does 5I only cover Canadian equities?

Q: Hi All:
I have a generic TFSA question. My TFSA is ~$147K; my wife is at ~$140K
Not all my stocks choices are winners but sometimes in the past I have NOT taken my profit off the table. ie sold some of my winners to reinvest in other upcoming potential winners. We all get the $6K starting in 2022, but I would like your thoughts on transferring in kind some shares from our TFSA's into our open account. ie: the ones that have gained 70 to 80%. My thoughts are that this would give me more room to transfer $$$ from our open account in 2022, that are presently losses I think are still potential stocks that could go up, thereby giving us some tax free gains.

Is this game to dangerous or just plain stupid.

I hope you all have an enjoyable and well deserved Xmas time off. Ken.... :-)

Q: Lightspeed
In regard to Clayton‘s question this morning on your profile page there is a bar chart that shows institutional buying and selling, how often is that updated?
Would you give that chart any consideration when buying or selling a stock

Q: Good morning 5i
and the best of the season to you all. I hope you all have a great rest and relaxation time this season. You have earned it, if you listen to most of the commentators on the site, who seem to be very happy with your service, And that includes me.

I was just wondering about options. I had a number of options expiring last Friday and I am planning on rolling them over for another month. It is a fairly down day in the market today and I was wondering whether I would b e better to wait a day or two, or a week, to see if the sentiment changes. Perhpas the option premiums would be higher at that time. so, that is the quesion, is there any profit in waiting out a down day before selling call options?
thanks

Q: hello 5i:
You receive a few kudo's at this time of year (though maybe not enough). It's a wonderful service and I say that having been a subscriber for about 8 years. But one thing I've always noticed: you have some very astute investors in your base. Not just the ones that catch mistakes, or the ones that ask detailed questions, but some that ask very simple and direct questions/comments. So, to you and to your membership, a very Merry Christmas

Q: Good morning, my daughter has $600,000 to invest for a two year period. She is looking for relative safety of principal, but a better return than GIC's or daily interest accounts, thanks?

Q: Everyone.
I am looking for the current number of shares held by institutions and insiders. I can find data to the end of September or some in October. When does insiders and institutions report the number of shares they hold on LSPD?

Q: Charitable Donations. We checked our cash account at Questrade on Friday regarding charitable donations of a Canadian security made to charities. We discovered that a fee of $25 per donation had been charged. We contacted the broker to complain and the first agent and supervisor both said that it couldn't be waived although we were offered one free trade for each donation. We then followed up with an email to the CEO of Questrade, Edward Kholodenko to complain about the fee and cc'd Rob Carrick, John Heinzl and Tim Cestnick of the Globe and Jamie Golombek of the Financial Post. Jamie Golombek got back to us to indicate that CIBC did not charge a fee for the same donation.

Post only if you think others would be interested.

Q: Peter and Co.,

I simply want to wish Peter and all his staff a wonderful Christmas season. We, members are very fortunate to be able to learn on a daily basis from people who's knowledge is off the charts and who really care about our personal financial situation.

Q: Regarding the answer to my question with respect to Nortel and the tech decline received Saturday @ 3:49 a.m., my family held stock in Nortel and I am very appreciative with respect to the detailed and quality of the answer to my question. Myself and probably many others had concerns with the Nasdaq doing what it has been doing lately and your perfectly explained answer made me feel a lot more comfortable. I guess you were working late due to the timing of the answer. Thanks again,
