Q: Dear 5i
My wife contributed $5000 to her TFSA 2009 , 2010 and 2011 totalling $15000 . Two years later it was necessary for her to withdraw the total amount leaving a balance in her TFSA of $0 .
In 2018 we calculated that from 2009-2018 her total allowable contributions totals ~$57500 . As such she puts this much into her TFSA in a lump some in 2018 .
CRA informs her that her contribution room Jan 1/18 is only $50300 and as such says she has over contributed by roughly$6900 . Does this sound right to you or have we somehow miscalculated .
Thanks
Bill

Q: These three companies are a part of balanced equity model portfolio as of last report. All three are down somewhere in the range of 15-20% since April 30. Do you still like/recommend them (i.e. are they still a "buy") or there is a change in your views and you are going to dump them and replace in BE portfolio?

Q: Wow, oil stocks are taking a whollop today, is this slide justified? Or, do you think this is a good day to jump into oil for a short term hold. I bought these stocks in December and sold in April for a 15% gain, and might consider again. Or, does it look like this downward trend is going to continue.

Q: With all signs pointing to a long US/China trade spat, what sectors do you see holding their own. I would expect that Tech and Consumer Products will be hurt the most. Your comments would be appreciated.

Q: Two sectors I generally avoid like the plague are the auto sector and the airline sector. The former because it is cyclical and the latter because pretty much every one of them has gone broke at some time in their history... But a story came to my attention the other day...Vancouver took delivery of two Nova Buses. On having a little look at the company I found that Toronto has 55 of them and they have a growing presence in North America. As they have the power of Volvo behind them I can see some competition for NFI here. Cities going green would far rather not have the maintenance and eyesore of overhead power lines. I know Nova Bus is a small section of Volvo but when I looked at the parent company I saw a juicy 7.5% yield. Looking at the price history I see a range of $11 to $20 in the past three years slowly trending down since it's $20 high, What does 5I think of Volvo both from a growth point of view and relative to it's peers in the auto industry ? It is late in the auto cycle so I am hesitant here in spite of the juicy dividend.....Thanks for your great service....
