Q: Hi Peter & Team: For a growth portfolio, what % would you allocate to Cdn,US,EM and other developed mkt. ? What ETF's would you suggest for EM & other dev.mkt, hedged or not hedged to the loony? Thanks. Fooklin
Q: Since you added this company to your income portfolio, this has shot up like crazy. There has been no other news and the company was not moving anywhere for a long time. Is your membership base that big that it can drive the price of one stock that much higher in a two week period and reach all time high's. Isnt there risk that if someone enters now, they will end up losing capital. Also my question balance dropped to 23 from 24 even though I had asked a question about DBO. Why is that?
Q: I checked some recent answers concerning the Dividend payout & I am still confused. Exactly, what is the split between an allowable DIVIDEND under our tax rules & RETURN of Capital?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Q: Hello 5i
Would you please offer thoughts on Sylogist given we seem to be in a price decline phase - starting with an uptrend break in Sept-16?
Sure feels more than just drifting when a stock falls so hard in a single day. The charts (1&5 yr) are showing a technically broken-down stock not firmly in a downdraft. Am I being lulled to sleep with 5i positive tone and 5 year hypothical viewpoint - when I should really be taking action to protect my Capital?
Thanks
Dave

Q: Hello, I've just opened an RESP for my son and it has $2500 in it and should see $2500 added to it each year plus the gov't portion. Looking at a time frame of about 18-20 years, can you recommend an initial approach? Would a couple ETF's be best for now? or is it better to work toward the income model portfolio? or a few good dividend paying equities for the long term? Thank you.

Q: Greetings 5i, first off, thank you for this unique and valuable service. I'm looking to remove my two... shall we say laggards from the portfolio. Three questions;
For Potash, portfolio holds about 3.4%. Is there an upside to waiting short term until the Agrium deal closes? If replaced, I want something in the same sector. What is your top two dividend payers in this sector?
For Cenovus, portfolio holds about 2.4%, I would like to replace with either utility, consumer discretionary or healthcare. What are your top three, dividend paying suggestions.
And what is your top financial dividend payer?

Q: Regarding Bill's RRSP transfer to Questrade from a brokerage, the main issue of selling the investments to reinvest the funds is the tax implication. The sold RRSPs would be taxed, likely at 25%, and depending upon his RRSP contribution limit, he might not be able to reinvest the net sum. The RRSP amount would be included in his taxable income for the year of withdrawal and if large enough would "bump" him into a higher tax bracket. He would pay tax on the withdrawal at his marginal rate.
As you suggested, the transfer in kind is the only way to make this transfer without incurring any tax.

Q: I have a question about in which sector BCE resides. According to TMX group, BCE is in communication services, while according to another website, sectorspdr.com, telecommunication companies are lumped into the technology sector ETF that goes by the symbol XLK (http://www.sectorspdr.com/sectorspdr/sector/xlk). Do telecommunication companies comprise their own sector, or should I also consider them part of the technology sector? Thanks for reading, and I await your reply.
