Q: Hello 5i Team

Further to questions on parking cash, all the discount brokerages offer "High Interest Savings Account" mutual funds which are CDIC insured deposit accounts for the various subsidiaries of the bank.
Each of these is insured to $100k under CDIC, therefore you are able to segregate $400k under CDIC insurance in one brokerage account.
I am most familiar with RBC Direct Investing and TD Direct Investing, each offer 4 separate subsidiary companies with CDIC coverage. Other discount brokerages may only offer 1 option. A list is available on-line at:
https://www.finiki.org/wiki/High-interest_savings_account
The benefit of using these in your brokerage account are having cash available for other security purchases and the value is included for calculating available margin (loan value). The interest is paid monthly and can be reinvested automatically.
Thanks

Q: You commented on the good quarter but noted the only negative being lack of positive cashflow for the quarter. Would this not be expected for this type of company, with very large contracts, and high working capital requirements? The value proposition looks hard to ignore all things considered so I’m just trying to understand if this is actually something to worry about or not? Thanks

Q: This is regarding Douglas' question today about selling US listed stocks held in an TFSA. It is my understanding that any buy and sell in an TFSA account, Canadian or US listed, are not subject to tax, and has no bearing on next years's contribution room as long as there is no withdrawal. Please clarify. Thanks

Q: Hi 5i team - Could you give me an update on some of the fundamentals for Brick Brewing. In particular P/E, level of debt if any, insider ownership and recent activity, cash on hand, anything else you would consider relevant. Would you classify this as a growth company and if so what are its prospects for growth. Thanks.
