Q: Hi All: I will be Transferring 'in kind' from my open account into TFSA. In your opinions which of this list might have the better growth potential, therefore capital gain protected within the TFSA? Too Bad for the $6K limit. Would you assist me in prioritizing my list?

Q: Hi Team:
I enjoy reviewing the portfolio analysis. Of course there are always concerns with data interpretation. I am slightly over weighted in DS (5.5%) and FFN ( only 1.8%), 2 companies that I now understand pay some of their dividends with 'Return of Capital'. Returns to date are; DS in RIF (-16%) + TFSA's (-13%, -19%) + RESP (-12%). FFN is in TFSA's (-29%, -30%) + RESP (-30%). Overall now big losers but still paying dividends (DS yield @ 10.15%; FFN yield @ 18.99%) except at the rock bottom time frame of December 2018. So, I want to sell. When do you suggest I take the hit? Do I sell all at the same time? Do I keep some portions? Of course some magical suggestions to make up the loss, especially in the RESP. Overall I am still at a positives in all accounts, so I have not made all bad choices but these are dragging me down and I am tired of seeing the red return. Thanks Ken ..... :-)

Q: I normally can find answers to my questions by reviewing past questions but when I ask for questions on DS I get nothing. Not even the notice that there are no questions.
Anyway, I am retired and interested mainly in yearly income. I own DS and happily collect the dividend. But, can you explain how they can pay a 10% return when they hold stocks yielding less than 5%. Is the remainder return on capital or are they selling covered calls?
Thanks
Don
