Q: Just crystallized losses on the above and planning to buy back in a month.
Is the 30 days from the settlement date and what would you advise to do with the cash in the next 30 days while waiting?
Thanks

Q: Good afternoon 5i
Kelly today asked a question regarding Transcontinental. In your answer you said that you would prefer another package because they seem to be having trouble with their acquisition. I was thinking about selling Transcontinental for a tax loss and buying it back in a month. After your answer I was wondering to what extent you had lost confidence in Transcontinental? Would buying it back after 30 days look like a dangerous proposition to you, now?
thanks as always

Q: Hi 5i - I have a portfolio weighting question. Assuming I have a portfolio with 60% Canadian, 30% US and 10% Other International, would the 60% Canadian portion be considered on its own for individual stock weightings? For example, if I consider a 5% position in BNS a full position, should I have 5% of my total overall portfolio in BNS or 5% of the 60% Canadian portfolio?

In general, what would you suggest?

Thanks, Neil

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,

I am holding Profound Medical , down 35%, but I can find any reasons account for this drop lately, If I am correct they have 32m cash and almost debt free. I do not know what am I missing.

Do you see any fundamental concerns, it is now around 1% of weighting.

Should I continue to hold or sell at loss and move on?

Thank you for your help as always.

Q: Dear 5i
It is my understanding that withdrawing retirement income out of an RRSP or a RRIF , all income withdrawn is taxed at the current marginal tax rate at the time for that individual based on the total amount withdrawn . Correct?
The taxes paid have nothing to do with how income inside the plans are generated ie., interest , dividends or capital gains . Correct?
As such a systematic withdrawal plan (SWP) is generally meant to be used and beneficial in non-registered accts .only I'm assuming .
Do i have a clear understanding ? Appreciate your comments .
Thanks
Bill C
