Q: Hello 5i,
In the "Managing your Prtfolio" section of the Portfolio Analysis it is mentioned that a sector should be no more than 20%, yet I am warned tht I am near 20% in an industry. What is the reason for the difference? Could it be that the industries make up a sector and here are diffeent values for industries than for sectors?
Thank you
Stanley

Q: I am glad I bought a few thousand shares of frontier lithium in 2022. The seem to have a claim with various lithium deposits at or near surface. It is a big bonus that the claim is not far from the all-weather road and power lines that Ontario has built with that project to connect 16 or 17 first nations to the main power grid. Combining what looks like very good lithium deposits, in a safe, mining friendly jurisdictions with some mayor infrastructure not far away makes for an interesting investment. The chart on FL has gone almost vertical the past couple of weeks. I have not checked the volume and I am aware that the entire lithium sector has been strong lately, but is there something extra on your radar that can explain this rapid ascent in share price and if not, should I take some profits?

Q: I’m looking to diversify a small portfolio in a TFSA by purchasing ‘some’ ETF’s with reasonable distributions and not too much risk to capital, the idea being that this is a growing ‘rainy day fund’. The most attractive ones, to me, involve at least some U.S. investments. I’m sure that the first thing you would say is that you are not tax experts. With that said, do you think that XHY’s income would be subject to the U.S. Witholding tax? And following that do you know of any online sources that list the tax implications of specific ETF’s re. Withholding tax? The most that ETF providers might say on their sites is that an ETF is TFSA/RSP eligible
.
I recognize that the tax does not rule out the utility of an investment. When would you ignore its’ presence for an investment? A long-winded question.
