Q: Dear Peter and the team:

Nice articles as always in this month's Canadian Money Saver. Enjoyed the article by Sandi Martin on RESPs. I hope you can clarify something for grandparents like us!
The article doesn't address this specific issue.

On September 02, 2020, an article in the Globe mentions that one can safely contribute 14000 $ to the RESP. One can continue to contribute 2500 $ a year as well to benefit from the matching Govt grant. (500 $ max) until one reaches 50000 $. I have included the link to that article here.

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/globe-advisor/advisor-news/article-three-important-facts-about-resps-that-canadians-need-to-know/

Is it okay to gift to one's grandchild's RESP 14k during the early years? I know one will NOT get the Govt Grant for this amount. If one buys a low fee, growth oriented ETF, will this approach yield better result than the ones cited in CMS article?

Your input is always appreciated.

Mano.

Q: Hello team,

This is a comment from Yellen:

a delay could "cause irreparable damage to the U.S. economy and global financial markets."

Your opinion on this article would be much appreciated. How can we protect against such a scenario?

Q: Hi what are the chances that any of these names will be going to the capital markets and issue more stock?
They are all doing very well,so they might be tempting to issue more stocks.
How would you rate those for stock as a buy right now?

Q: Now that the sale of the Kansas City Southern Railroad is confirmed, what share movement (up or down) do you anticipate in the shares of the Cpr and the CNR? Because a Canadian railroad now owns an American railroad do you think the Government of Canada is more or less likely to approve the joint project of the CPR and the State of Alaska?
