Q: Hi

Looking at my 96 year mother's Investment accounts, when she passes away, the estate is going to get nailed with this new capital gains tax. My mother is a buy hold type of investor having some stocks for 30 plus years.

Then you add cottages into the mix look out scout the estate is going to get nailed. Am I correct?

If the so called generation that was to receive a vast fortune with this new rule will be getting a lot less is this correct?.

In my case I am 68 have 1.5 million in a RRSP's and 2 million in cash. I receive 4 indexed pensions and have zero debt

Would it be wise in my situation (and others in this situation) to start withdrawing form my RRSP and setting up accounts for my children. Also start selling my mother's stocks that are up 300%, before this new budget become law.

Your comments and possible suggestions would be greatly appreciate.

Thanking you

Mike

Q: Can you please rank the above stocks in which you would purchase today? Thank you

Q: Hi,
I have been currently holding these for awhile and have done well on them, other than maybe WELL, which has been lagging a bit lately. Here are my allocations: WELL (1.7%), SLF (2%), GSY (3.5%) and NVDA (3.8%).

Recently in the last few months, I trimmed some NVDA and bought some VRT (1%) and SMCI (1%). For a growth investor, how would you rank these 3 stocks going forward? Would you continue to trim and buy these smaller cap higher growth names. With the run that they've had, I've been a little more cautious of a slowdown.

Also with these other names I'm holding, I'm contemplating trimming or completely switching to higher growth and better quality names with better runway for growth. What are your thoughts? Trim, add or switch? For example, does it make sense to trim a 3.0% position into two names that are only 1.5%? I'm against diworsification. Thank you!

1. WELL to VHI
2. SLF to IFC
3. GSY to PRL

Q: I have a 5% interest rate on my bank account right now and because of this I'm way more cash heavy than usual. Does it make sense to hold a larger portion of cash when interest rates are so high?

Q: Please rank in terms of growth and risk over the next 1-3 years

Q: Hello,

I'm investing some savings of my mother she doesn't need before many years but we avoid higher risk stocks, she is 75 years.

Actually, she owns BN, GSY, TFII.

Looking to add 1 or 2 stocks to this list. I have been looking to your porfolios and considering ATD, PBH, DOL, PBH, SHOP. CDR could be a nice opportunity with VISA for exemple.

How would you rank them for potential return on 3 to 5 years? Do you see better opportunities?

Thanks,

Q: Hi Peter, It will be nice to get your detail opinion on today upcoming budget from investors point of view via a blog. Just a suggestion.

Q: On Dec 12 '23 you printed a list of 10 potentially improving stocks. With good luck I pulled CCL out of the list and it has done well. Which of that list do you still see as having good potential ?? Thanks Jim

Q: I need to raise some cash. Can you rank these investments from your favorite to least favorite currently please and thanks

Q: Hello
I m wondering if your team has thought about a AI filtering / Help options for your Questions tab ? IMO I m noticing near 50% of the asked questions have been previously answered MANY TIMES OVER. This would allow other 5i members to save times not having to read the mulit requests on the same information.

This feature would most importantly allow the 5i moderator to focus on other NEW Questions, strategize on more / improved technical features (PA) for the platform or infact start to create member reports for the USA positions the moderators in fact hold and endorse.
This issue has really bothered me that many CDN TSX microcap positions have reports and endorsements (even on the 5i X acct) to buy while the 5iii moderatior doesnt in fact own them IE no skin in the game. FWIW many have very poor returns or get dropped from your T.A radar !

Just my thoughts as longtime PA Member
