Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I'm curious as to why you recommend VFV as it is my understanding that it is a Canadian ETF invested in a US S&P 500 ETF which has double taxation in a RRSP and doesn't seemed to be taxed favorably in a TFSA or non registered account either. Wouldn't be better to buy ZSP which invests directly in the S&P stocks or HXS which has a higher fee but no dividend to trigger withholding tax?

Q: Hello 5i,
If I transfer winning stocks in kind to a TFSA but do not cash them in will I have to pay tax on the dividends to be received?

Q: Hi 5I
Regarding anthony questions , Not withstanding that BIR is surely in the doghouse, is it worth a second look now and at what price would you consider it worth the risk/reward.

CEO stated in interview yesterday that the lower dividend was sustainable for next number of years....opinion? Is this the ceo responsible for reinstating initial dividend?


Thx
Jim

Q: Good Morning:
Thanks as always for your help. In my recent question concerning Payfair I asked if you could direct me to a recent question from a member asking about the dollar tiers of small, medium, and large companies, both in the US and Canada
Thanks, Ben.

Q: Hi. After reading your ETF newsletter, I was considering this ETF as a good way to buy into many of the larger companies that are higher performers on the US market. I already have a full market ETF. What is your opinion?

Q: I have held MRE in my TFSA for the past couple of years and have done "okay".
However, I'm looking at moving into something with more total return potential and am considering either BTO or DPM, as I feel both could do well in a strengthening gold market (which I can foresee over the next year or so).
Which would you lean towards and why?
Thanks, Rick

Q: Looking for some guidance re considerations to consider in trading TCN at this point. What would your view be on the expected share price movement over the next 3 months. What factors might there be at play to improve the current stock price versus to lower it or finally the likelihood of it stagnating here. So do see it as a sell because current price likely as good as it gets, a hold because upside likely, or, if not too large a portfolio holding, a trim perhaps. Thank you for your views.

Q: Morning Peter and 5i team,

I believe that Capital Losses can carried forward for 3 years, and after that they no long can be used. If that is true, I have a Capital Loss that expires in 2024 and would like to utilize it before I loose it.
I was thinking to selling some winners to get the Capital Gains to go against the Capital Losses and then buying them back. Is there a 30 day limit for Capital Gains as there is for Capital Losses (Tax Selling), and is this this a good strategy?

Thanks

Joe
