Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Are there any tax implications for an individual with 100K+ of US stocks in a TFSA. I understand the 15% dividend withholding if such held stocks do pay a dividend.

Q: Hello Team Portfolio question for conservative income investor. In a longer term horizon can an argument be made for increasing the proportion of rate reset preferreds while decreasing bond holdings by a similar amount. Like many investors I have previously been burned by preferreds so I confess I am a bit gun-shy and with bond funds I ilke the income (meager) but fear the long term capital loss in a future rising interest rate environment. This strategy seems to make some sense. Thank you for your opinion. gary

Q: GREETINGS:
I refer you to Jean's question on Feb 26 about Argonaut. Having said all that, why would you recommend Agnico Eagle instead of AR, for any reason other than size and record of earnings. Also you refer to PE multiples. Would cash flow not be better just like oil companies , because they both have extensive capex outlays.

Thanks, BEN.

Q: Hi, I was wondering if you could explain inflation and the impact on the economy and companies? Why the US is seeing inflation with the pandemic affecting businesses and jobs. I thought inflation meant growth in the economy. Is this current inflation numbers a blip or expected to last a few years? Do I follow the trend of sector rotation?
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
In reviewing my asset allocations, I am underweight in US and International. I am also light on Healthcare, Industrials, and Technology. Are there any companies (top 5) that jump out at you as growth based names that could help with this in terms of a 'two-birds-one-stone' approach?
I have a 10+ year timeline and a high risk tolerance.
Thanks in advance!

Q: With so much attention on EV’s, questions
related to charging stations - and battery suppliers are becoming more important.

I am looking for a basket of companies in which to invest that 5i believes can benefit from these developments.

As part of this theme I am wondering:
1. Where will people recharge their vehicles?
Will traditional gas stations - including companies like ATD.B and PKI - retrofit some of their gas pumps to charging stations?

2. Who will supply the volume of batteries that are expected to be required? As someone said the other day “ right now Tesla owns the “bakery” ....which gives it a huge competitive advantage over the other potential competitors.

Thanks for your help here.
