Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi There,
I just wanted to confirm that if you transfer a security from a cash account to a RRSP account, any accrued capital gain on the transferred securities on an in-kind contribution to an RRSP is immediately taxable to you, while any loss on such a transfer would be denied from being claimed as a capital loss.....is this correct!

If so, if you sold the security in the cash account and then transferred the cash to the RRSP, would you then be able to claim the capital loss?
Thank You,

Q: Hello 5i,
Please provide comments on magna’s earnings.
1) has it written off it’s stranded assets in Russia?
2) is it backing the wrong EV horse by supplying Fisker its equipment?
3) in the industrial space I hold: Cnr,ata,and tfii. In consumer cyclical: mg,shop,amzn. Is it time to throw in the towel on mg? Doo and atz seem like better bets as magna looks as though it’s going to give back any gains over last 5 years and headed back to October 22 lows (apart from the 2.7% dividend.) risk reward not looking so good today for that sub-sector.
Tia,

Q: About 2 weeks ago, Adam asked a question and 5i answered, as follows:

Q. Would now be a time to review ones stock holdings, maybe raise some cash in anticipation of slight pull back or considering a pause in rate hikes, would you go all in with growth stocks?

A. We think it is too early to go all in on growth or add risks. While we think the overall outlook is positive, there are still plenty of challenges. .....We still wouldn't time the market with a cash call.....When doing a review, however, we would still focus on the fundamentals rather than the stock movements. We think high-quality growth stocks look good, and there is no need to keep or layer on extra risk when solid companies still remain cheap even after recent moves.

Two questions from me:

1. Two weeks is a mere blip in the investment time horizon, nonetheless with a bit of news (interest rate + market response, some earnings releases, etc,) do you have any further thoughts about the overall outlook for adding cash or more of a tilt to growth?

2. Can you list 10 high - quality growth names (Cdn or US) that fit your desired fundamental profiles, contemplated by your answer to Adam?

Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: hi,
I own both GOOGL and CRWD. I am considering selling CRWD for a tax loss, and buying more GOOGL since the AI (or is is AU for artificial unintelligence?) chat thing mishap has driven price down more. question is do you think this is wise, or do you like CRWD as much as GOOGL right now? I am a long term investor, and certainly don't need to get (another) tax loss benefit. appreciate your thoughts, chris
