If so, your alternatives?It currently has XHY and 22 other income and some growth stocks each about equally weighted.
Secondly, a suggested CDN ETF with US large cap/financial exposure that as pays a 3+ % div.

Q: I have a small position in MU ... less than 1%.
It's up about 50% since I purchased about 8 months ago.
I'm concerned that as semiconductor prices are increasing, there may be increased production from other competitors and that the market may become oversupplied.
Should I hold on or is the stock becoming long in the tooth .. in which case should I sell?

Q: Hi 5i,
I have ORACLE stock in a Basic Securities Account with Morgan Stanley (I used to work for Oracle Corp. in Canada), and now I want to move the stocks and/or funds from the US to Canada, and I have some questions:

Are there any tax implications for me to move the investments from the US to Canada, either on the US side, the Canadian side, or both?

Are there different tax implications if I move the investments as stock-in-kind, vs cashing them out in the US and moving cash?

Thanks
