Q: I hold FNV, KRR and AEM for gold exposure. I am thinking of selling FNV after the news related to their royalty stream in Panama. How material is this for FNV? Do you feel this will be an overhang on the stock in the next few months? I am hopeful for a little run in gold in the next few months and i am concerned FNV will not participate due to this news. If selling FNV, what do you recommend to compliment my other 2 holdings?

Q: On the reorganization of BAMa I believe Brookfield indicated that the preliminary estimate of the cost base for taxes of BAMa would be split 88% to BN and 12% to BAM. They were to update this calculation when the transaction was completed. Do you know if there has been any update on this calculation? Thanks A Merry Christmas to All.

Q: Hi 5i. Merry Christmas to all !

I need some help with the mechanics of an 'in-kind transfer'. Particularly with one from a RRSP to a TFSA.

If I use the 2023 TFSA contribution limit of $6500 and want to move that amount of Stock 'A' from a RRSP to a TFSA, then I understand that withholding tax would apply to that amount.

Where does the withholding tax get paid from? I am assuming a number of Stock 'A' shares would be sold to cover the amount of tax owed. Is that correct?

Furthermore, is it possible to have the withholding tax paid from cash within the RRSP or would the tax owed be added to the transfer of $6500 0f Stock 'A' to the TFSA?

Essentially, can I move $6500 of Stock 'A' to the TFSA and pay the withholding tax from cash in the RRSP, as if they were two separate transactions.

Thanks in advance.

Martin

I understand that this stock has been relatively recently created from the reorganization of the Brookfield Asset Management but is the data I am asking available for investors? I have looked on line for such data and appears to be available. Thank you . Miroslaw

Q: Hello,

In light of the recent takeovers of WPT Industrial by Blackstone and Summit Industrial by Dream Industrial /GIC, what are your thoughts on the possibility of Chartwell being acquired? A BNN guest mentioned that Blackstone recently opened a Canadian office and has apparently hired an analyst with experience in retirement residence REITS. Please rate the probability of a takeover on 1-10 basis whereby 10 is very likely. Also, how safe is the dividend? Thanks for the great service.

Regards,
Anthony

Q: The answer here might be obvious, but I'll ask the question nevertheless. Is there a CRA weasel rule that discourages selling a stock at a profit inside a TFSA and then immediately buying the same stock in an unregistered account?
