Q: I am thinking of trimming a bit from BEP(up 300% with ROC) and adding to my positions of DIR.UN and DIV. I am retired and looking to increase my monthly dividend payout companies. Currently BEP is around 4% of portfolio, DIV is 4% and DIR is 2.3%. Is this a sound move or do you think there is a better option with another monthly dividend payout company.

Q: 5 i's recommended vehicle for those interested in the bit coin investment opportunity appears to be BTCC.
GLXY , that appears to have been on the same scene since Oct 2018 has seen little price movement until recently but has now broken out to the upside.
How are these two investments different?
How do they compare as far as risk?
Is it too late to add to a position in GLXY or best to just allow BTTC the same opportunity to develop?
Your wise counsel has paid off handsomely in the past and is much appreciated!!!

Q: I have a TFSA with RBC and another with TD. If I switch the RBC to TD will RBC charge a fee for the change and if so how heavy a levy?
Are there any other consequences re such a change as far as the tax free nature of the investment is concerned?

Q: Hi

I'm trying to keep the US and international stocks and ETFs in my RRSP account and my Canadian stocks in my cash or unregistered account for tax reasons. Unfortunately, much of my RRSP account was built up with Canadian stocks. Further, I'm overweight Canadian stocks and am looking to increase my US and international exposure.
To do that, I would need to sell some of my existing Canadian stocks in my RRSP account to free up more cash. I could then re-purchase these same stocks in my unregistered where there are no limits to how much cash I can contribute.
Now, here's my question - and forgive me for the naïve question - if I sell my Cdn RRSP stocks with considerable gains and then re-buy them in my unregistered account at current levels, am I taking on more risk, or does my risk stay the same? In other words, am I really in the same position as before? Or have I assumed more risk because I'm now holding the stocks at a higher cost?

I hope this is clear.

Thanks
Robert
