Q: Hi 5i,
My tobacco stocks are getting hit due to upcoming government regulation. In your opinion is it time to lighten up on these stocks? What are the long term implications.

Q: I am considering the following: selling Royal Bank, BCE and CGI which are in my TFSA plan and then repurchase them in my RRSP plan and at the same time, sell my Amazon and Google which are in my RRSP and repurchase them in my TFSA. The basic reason is having the growth stocks in the TFSA. Does this make sense or are there any consequences?

Thanks,

Bob

Q: I am considering purchasing units of XDU from iShares. It is a new fund, with just over $6 000 000 in net assets. Is it safe to buy now, or should I wait until it accumulates more net assets? If safe to buy now, am I okay purchasing in one lump sum (approximately $150 000 worth). Thank you.

Q: Hi. I'm curious about your thoughts on big tobacco becoming big pharma as far as medical cannabis goes. I am surprised that they haven't yet entered this space. Do you think this will eventually happen? With the big drop on tobacco stocks today I'm wondering if I should start a position.
