Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am an investor with a long-term view and have always oriented my investment decisions towards growth stocks. I'm retired and I'm starting to want to take less time and decision-making as I get older. I know you are not tax specialists but your answer will surely be enlightening.
I wonder what is the cheapest mode of taxable income between a capital gain and a dividend paid in a taxable account for a Canadian citizen earning less than $80,000 per year.

THANKS

Yves

Q: Hi
Wondering about your latest addition to the growth portfolio. Curious as to this selection as the fundamentals are awful, with negative cash and operating flow and negative EPS. I assume this is a mock portfolio but do any of the contributors of 5i have any skin in the game especially in a high risk name such as GLXY?
I assume a 1.5% holding would be $1500 in a $100,000 portfolio.
Thanks
Jeff

Q: I have come to accept that I will likely never convert my entire RRIF in my remaining years and it keeps on growing . ( contributing to my RRSP when I was making 25K/yr in my 20s was ill-advised ) .
Usually I am upset about losing $ in my RRIF because I can't claim the loss.
WHY. ? - it doesn't matter.
Since the government is going to get half of it anyways,
SO
What is your opinion about changing my RRIF strategy from conservative blue chip investing to higher growth /higher risk ?

With so many low risk, high yielding ETFs now that are producing better rates than savings accounts, which would be the best to hold in a non registered account, and why?
