Q: Hi,
If I wanted to sell all of the holdings I have in my TFSA - would I be able to reinvest the accumulated amount available again at a later date.- I believe it is $ 75500.00 up to 2021. I have not invested using the 2021 amount yet - if that matters.
If you could give me an overall review of it or even a reference link - it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Q: Hi, I currently have a BMO monthly income Mutual fund. I wish to replace it with an etf to reduce the fees. I am looking for an etf that pays monthly income, has the potential for some growth and a low mer. You have been a proponent of XTR before but would like to see if there are any others you think might be worth while. Maybe zmi. If you can suggest a canadian etf and an international etf that has some good diversification in different sectors.
Thanks

Q: I have held Knight for many years waiting for the payoff. Now they are being booted out of the
Index to make way for GFL. They filed their shelf prospectus so perhaps something is brewing.
They report in March. Yes there is value but they sure haven’t created any in almost five years? How long do we wait?
