Q: Hi 5i Team - I am ready to sell Mission Ready but when selling a losing stock I prefer to replace it quickly with a similar company, in this case not necessarily in the same sector but with a similar market cap along with with better fundamentals and better growth profile. What would be your suggestion(s) be for a replacement. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,

as of Dec. 2, 2021, ATVI price is approx. $57 and down approx. 44% from it's 1 year high. This company definitely has issues. In your opinion does this current price represent an excellent risk/reward entry point for an investor wishing to hold for at least 3 years in a TFSA? If not, what approx. price would entice you to buy this beaten down stock?

thanks

Q: A comment, not a question:

Brett asked you a question on 2 DEC 2021 regarding buying US shares in his TFSA --> whether to first purchase USD and buy US stocks in a USD TFSA account or simply buy US stocks using CDN dollars in his (presumably) CDN TFSA account.

My experience in buying US stocks with CDN dollars in a CDN TFSA account is that in the event of a sale of the US stocks, my online brokerage (CIBC's Investors Edge) automatically converted the sale proceeds into CDN dollars. Which I didn't necessarily want done, but I wasn't given a say. Ultimately, I opened a US banking account to transfer USD into my US TFSA account. Sale proceeds of US stocks are kept in USD and I am free to convert back into CDN dollars. Or not. Which I prefer to the alternative.

I hope my experience helps Brett and others.

Q: Hi, I was wondering what you would suggest for additions to an RESP which currently holds VGG
and GSY. Long term hold, moderate risk ok.
Two or three top recommendations please, and Thanks for your excellent service! Thanks, Lavern

Q: Good Morning Peter & Team,

There's been some discussion on 5i re CJT. Demand is up but labor & fuel inflation is causing costs to go up as well. Today it's approaching a 16 month low at $164. Never want to try and catch a falling knife however, price target is $250. Is this a good pick with on-line/Amazon shopping volume continuing to show signs of increasing? Or do you have an alternative which might be a better choice to take advantage of this trend? Besides AMZN ofcourse which I already have.

Thanks for all you do

Q: Greetings:
As always it is known that you are not tax consultants, but please tell me what you know about a Section 51 election, and when it might be best to make use of it, as well as what CRA form number would be required?

Thank You,
BEN.
