Q: Hi team ,
What’s up with the lack of investor enthusiasm over the last few months in regards to the bigger players such as crm ? Is the investment opportunity gone stagnant here?

Q: Good morning
there has been several questions at various times regarding parking money for short periods example 3 months or less
most times you suggest GICs or PSA or high interest accounts
would a short term money market fund be appropriate and if so can you suggest some with liquidity on a daily basis
What are the risks of such funds
the intent is to have this money available for purchasing stocks at short notice
If not any other ideas would be welcome
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,
I have two questions pertaining to the spin-out:
1. Would I be correct in assuming that if held in an RRSP, there would be NO tax implications at all?
2. When typing in VTRS, I see a second option showing up: VTRSV. What, if any, is the difference? My broker recorded the transaction as VTRS and so that is what I use.
Many thanks, as always!!
Stay safe and well!!
Cheers,
Mike
