Q: Hi,
I have some questions about investing in a taxable account (non-registered) vs a registered account?
1) when to use registered vs non-registered accounts assuming money is borrowed (LOC or HELOC) where the interest can be deducted in personal income tax (high bracket)?
2) what is preferred (to lower tax) to use in case of non-registered account investment assuming one spouse (X) is in the top income tax bracket and the other spouse (Y) is low tax bracket? X and Y joint account or Y only account or X only? Again investment money is borrowed under HELOC (joint).
Thanks,

Q: Hello Peter,
From what I have been reading: The cash positions within pension and other investment funds is at historically low levels. The trend over the past few weeks has been a shift from growth and technology to cyclical and value stocks.
On the flip side, the technology sector generally does well to start the new year.
I have done well with growth stocks mostly in the tech sector and have a couple of holdouts such as DXCM, AYX GH that have not performed. And I am also fully invested.
Should I look to raise cash by trimming my gains, which would be in tech, mostly US except for some CAD such as DSG, LSPD OTEX etc? Or, should I sell the growth holdouts for cash? Should I even raise cash and invest in cyclicals and value such as TT, RTX, US financials or any other you may suggest. Or should I just ride the growth portfolio into January and spring of 2021?
Looking for your magic eight ball answer.
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Please pick 1 stock for each of Canada, USA and Global. No restriction on sector.
( use as many credits as required)

A. Shorterm buy for 3 to 6 month, momentum type buy, get out once it slows.
B. Longterm hold growth stock ( 5+ years), but you expect a quick rise in the shorterm.
C. Longterm hold balanced stock ( somegrowth, stable adn growing div), maybe something that has been beaten up by covid that provides a good buy right now.

Q: Good morning. I bought a significant amount of AT 3 months ago, and am up 750%. This is my biggest winner ever, and it terrifies me! LOL Should I hang on for a 10 bagger, or start trimming? What does your short, medium, and long term crystal ball say about AT? Thanks.

Q: The 30 day rule deals with a superficial loss not being allowed. However when the security is finally sold all losses are added to the final result. It appears that the loss only has a ti
me factor. Is this true and how does the rule apply to options.
thanks
THOMAS
