Q: I hold BIPC and ABBV in a US TFSA account. I want to add GOOG. I know that there is a 15% unrecoverable witholding tax on dividends and no tax on capital gains when withdrawal occurs. Since I will not be withdrawing for 5 to 10 years Should I keep these in the TFSA account or move them to a unregstered account? 80 year old value investor with some growth stocks.

Q: PSI seems to be going nowhere since 2002 though it is good for dividend. Even though a value investor I am thinking of selling PSI and taking a position in GOOG at $166. I also have MSFT and a few other growth stocks. At that price is it OK to take a position in GOOG or is it too late? I have a time frame of 5 to ten years for this 80 year old.

Q: Hi there. Can you comment what the impact of GOOG, MFST and AMZN and their creation of their own Quantum chips is on companies like RGTI and IONQ? Are RGTI and IONQ trying to do the same things as the bigger companies but from a weaker position or are they complimentary or poised to benefit from innovations of these larger companies? Obviously RGTI trying to beat GOOG at R&D if they are racing the same race seems like a long shot.
