Q: I currently owned IFC and EQB. Would it be better to sell IFC and buy X for the long term, this would be more than 10years?

Q: Canadian HISA accounts do not have such good yields anymore. And the income is taxed as interest. I was looking at my 2022, 2023 tax returns and the revenue from canadian ETF like ZAG, XSB, XLB was mostly ROC. If I’m not wrong, thus, much more tax efficient? Wouldn’t be a good idea to switch from HISA to XSB, XBB, etc to park money in the next few months?
Do you know if high-Yield ETFs are taxed the same way (ROC) ?
USD-HISA are more generous so the logic might be different.
Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i Team,
I have held DFY for awhile and have doubled my investment. Experience has taught me to take some money off the table when one of my stocks has reached this point. I'm thinking about selling 1/3 of the position and reinvesting the rest in 2 or 3 of the following stocks:
I have partial positions in BCE, EIF, NWC, WCN and X
I have full positions in T and TD and open to averaging down
My questions are:
1) Would you trim a position in DFY given current market conditions?
2) How do you currently rank the 7 other stocks listed
3) Would you add to existing positions in T and/or TD given their current outlooks or look elsewhere?
These are a held in a TFSA and are planned to be 15-20 year holds
Thanks for the Great Service and Happy New Year!
Colin

Q: I am an income investor. I try and purchase equities who raise their dividend by approximately at least the rate of inflation. I hold both BCE and Telus. Given the announcement today by BCE that they will not be raising their dividend in 2025, what are your thoughts on selling Telus and purchasing BCE simply due to the spread in their yields in order to pick up the higher BCE dividend as sort of a proxy to make up for the lack of an expected increase?
Q: May I have your comments on TMX earnings please

Thanks.
