Q: Hello 5i,
Not a question, but a response to the question around Estate Planning. I am not a financial planner or tax expert so my suggestions need to be read in that context.
Firstly, for the grandchildren: would RESP's, TFSA's, RRSP's etc, be a viable option to help provide for them on an on-going basis starting now? This would also allow you to craft their portfolios as you wish.
Secondly, as they get older you could provide them with a small non-registered account and work with them on it - some grandchildren (or their parents) might show some interest, some not.
Another consideration would be to name each of your children/grandchildren and other beneficiaries as direct beneficiaries on each of your accounts so that the holdings (or funds) would transfer directly to them upon your passing. Percentages could, I think, be arranged so as to look after a spouse or other loved one on a priority basis. This part I am not clear on. Again, I am not any kind of specialist and know very little (ask my wife & kids, they'll back me up on this).
The direct division of an estate via the beneficiary route will help reduce Probate fees - and in B.C., this is a huge tax as compared to other jurisdictions.
My guess is that this kind of question will become more pressing as we 'Boomers' reach our "Best Before" dates and start to seriously consider Estate Planning and wonder how to best provide for our families, loved ones, favourite charities, etc. while trying to minimize the inevitable tax hit.
Sorry for the length of this post but it is just a collection of random thoughts as I thought about the question.
All the best,
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Just a quick comment on Victor’s frustration with Globe Investor’s watchlist. I agree that the re-design is clumsy and not user-friendly at all. You can delete stocks though. Go to far right and you will see 3 little bullets. Left click on the bullets and you will see a new menu. Highlighted in red is Delete from Watchlist.
I actually don’t use Globe Investor watchlist that much. Sometimes in the evening for a leisurely look. My main watchlist is from my bank brokerage (TD Dashboard). I would assume all brokerages have something similar. It is live data and I probably have 300 stocks on my watchlist or lists. I set up about 10 lists by sector which gives you a much better reading on the ebb and flow of the markets and sectors during the day.

Q: Maple Leaf Foods took a sharp hit at the beginning of trade, but has recovered somewhat, still down 3+% as I write this. How do you feel about them moving forward?
Separately, maybe a way to reduce the sheer volume of questions on the same company on a given day, is when selecting a company from the drop-down box, if 5i already has an answer 'in the works' the member can be prompted to wait to read the new answer before submitting his/her own, could take up to 24 hours, etc.

Q: I am wondering if 5i staff or members have any recommendations for accounting software that can track capital gains/losses, dividends, as well as option premiums. The main purpose of the software would be for income tax calculations. The options and premiums are in US dollars and need conversion to the Canadian dollar. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Q: Hello 5i
In yesterday’s Q&A you replied to a question from Glen that one of your important considerations when assessing a company was “strong management”. I couldn’t agree with you more. Would you consider adding a management rating to the “report card” section of your company reports?
And on that note would you supply 6 companies that have admirable management and board teams.
Many thanks

Q: If one believes that the move to a hydrogen economy is inevitable where should they be investing? My sense is that Shell is one of the better plays from a supplier perspective (c/w 5% dividend on the ADR) and maybe Toyota from a transportation perspective. However, neither offers a particularly inspiring 5 year chart. Do you have any better suggestions (possibly Canadian, though I am looking for a relatively secure name rather than a small start-up)?
Thanks for all your help; all responses on your site seem to contain something I find useful.
