Q: First of all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the 5i team and all my fellow subscribers.

My question relates to where should I invest (RRSP vs TFSA vs Non Registered).

I am 53 yrs old and plan to retire in the next 12 yrs. My current investment portfolio is virtually 100% in RRSPs. My goal is to build a strong dividend portfolio of Canadian stocks coupled with an International and Bond ETF. My question is where should I keep my investments? RRSP? TFSA? or Non Registered?

I am entering my peak earning years and feel that I can retire comfortably on approx. 70% of my current income. I see potential benefits in all 3 but not sure where I should keep my investments. I will likely be at a lower tax rate than I am now than when I am ready to withdrawal from my RRSP. However, who knows what will happen with tax rates. As well, income from my RRSP (but not my TFSA) would impact my OAS clawback.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Q: Can I please get your opinion of Veeva Systems. Thanks !

Q: When companies are spun out as VMD was from PHM it takes several days for the changes to appear in a trading account (Neither PHM nor VMD appear in my account, just a "placeholder"(?)). In a situation like this can we typically trade our shares even though they do not appear in the account?

Royal Circle has a "more than one hour" wait at the moment.

(You list the name as Viamed but others list as Viemed).

Q: Hi Peter,
Any idea why Covalon is not trading today based on yahoo and google stock listings? Also, is there a specific reason for Canopy to be surging so high today as I have not seen any new news release to account for such a spike? Thanks and again appreciate the input.

Q: Hello 5i,

I know you have a bullish view of zinc and recommend TV (which I currently own) for exposure to the metal. I'm wondering if you also have a bullish view on copper?
If so, what would be your recommended strategy for exposure to this base metal? Would you recommend owning a company that is exposed to both metals, or two separate companies that focus on each metal?

Thanks again and Merry Christmas!

Q: Recently there has been talk about this company in news, blogs and investment circles. Does the company have a reliable business model with foreseeable level of profits? Or is it just purely speculative start-up operating in bit coin space hoping some big player will acquire them? Im not knowledgeable about bit coins or mining so request your advise. Thank you.

Q: Hello,
Can you please give me your opinion on the companies recent update and subsequent sell off? As a speculative position would you rate it a buy, sell or hold here?

Thank you,
Rick
