Q: Hello Folks:
Currently we own solid positions in CIC.TO AND MFC-PK.TO and interested in both MAERSK and USA because of dividends (Maersk 19.24% and USA 9.98%).
What is your opinion of these companies, security of their dividends, growth etc. Maersk is one of the world's premier shipping companies although one questions sustainability of such a rich dividend.
All The Best

Q: Further to my earlier question again I have a TFSA with these 5 equal weight components: CSU, ATD, TRI, SLF, and ENB. Could you kindly suggest an additional 5 or 6 Canadian equities that would be appropriate to add at this time?

Q: I currently have holdings in ATD, CSU, ENB, SLF, and TRI in my TFSA in equal value. Are any of these worth adding to and in what order?

Q: For the last 5 years LNF has done nothing. Yes it hs a dividend of 3.8%. But cheap as it is do you see it advancing much? EMA, EIF, and NWC pay higher dividends and have advanced quite a bit since bought. Would it be suggested that any of these three could replace LNF or should I hang on to LNF in the hopes that it may spring to life?

Q: Can you please supply 5 names that have the highest potential for growth in the next year. Div, non div, any sector. Just best growth. US and CDN.

Q: Hi, Energy sector has been weak for past few months, for a variety of reasons. Oil and NG prices have been drifting lower and OPEC keeps sending mixed signals. US sanctions on Russia have only produced a muted response, with their Oil finding its way to India, China and many other countries. Oil is hovering back to $70 level and still there is no sign of US ready to fill in their SPR. After a strong 2021 and 2022 (and 1st half of 2023), do you think, current weakness could be temporary and it's just a short term breather ? Or, considering the cyclic nature of the sector ( possible recession concerns ) and history, it might be time to take some profits and reduce the sector weight, from your generally suggested 10% to say 5% ? If so, would you trim equally or in any order among these holdings ? Thank You

Q: Peter; Does the family have a controlling stock position ? And do any institutions hold a large portion? Thanks.

Q: If a person has quite a high capital gain in SLF would you still endorse selling to a 2.5% and buying IFC or just continue to hold SLF?

Thanks

Q: I am not a TAX expert but I thought that any option premium collected today should be claimed in 2023 not 2024. Since income is coming this year not next year.


Q: Good morning 5i
Looked on Google for an answer for this question but couldn’t find anything. If i sell a covered call option today with an expiration date in January, in which the stock is called away, in what year would I pay the capital gains tax, 23 or 24?
Thanks

5I RESEARCH ANSWER:
The stock will be sold in 2024, so is taxable in 2024. The options will be closed out in 2024, so the premium is also taxable in 2024 (as a capital gain).

Q: Would you switch from SYZ to TIXT? Which has the better long term prospects?
