Q: Hello 5i team,
Yahoo Business mentioned that TCN tentatively may go private at $11.25 US (~15.17 CAD). You recommended to sell half now.

Is there any regulatory hurdles that may stop this transaction with all the housing problems in both countries? Since TCN is the only REIT in the balanced portfolio, do you have your eye on any other equities?

Q: I know pharma stocks like LLY and NVO are hot (and expensive) now due to the success of their GLP-1 drugs but what about the other big pharma stocks like PFE and BMY that have been hammered post-covid and now yield up to 6%? PFE has bounced from $26 to about $28 today but is it too soon? Value traps? Dead money? What is your opinion of when to get in (if ever)? Thanks.

Q: I have be considering swapping CAE for BDGI. Badger is widely exposed across the US while CAE seems to be slow getting traction at a time when business should be good.
What are your thoughts on these companies and their potential growth.

Thanks for the great service

Q: I'm curious as to why you recommend VFV as it is my understanding that it is a Canadian ETF invested in a US S&P 500 ETF which has double taxation in a RRSP and doesn't seemed to be taxed favorably in a TFSA or non registered account either. Wouldn't be better to buy ZSP which invests directly in the S&P stocks or HXS which has a higher fee but no dividend to trigger withholding tax?

Q: Hello 5i,
If I transfer winning stocks in kind to a TFSA but do not cash them in will I have to pay tax on the dividends to be received?

Q: Hi 5I
Regarding anthony questions , Not withstanding that BIR is surely in the doghouse, is it worth a second look now and at what price would you consider it worth the risk/reward.

CEO stated in interview yesterday that the lower dividend was sustainable for next number of years....opinion? Is this the ceo responsible for reinstating initial dividend?


Thx
Jim

Q: Good Morning:
Thanks as always for your help. In my recent question concerning Payfair I asked if you could direct me to a recent question from a member asking about the dollar tiers of small, medium, and large companies, both in the US and Canada
Thanks, Ben.

Q: Hi. After reading your ETF newsletter, I was considering this ETF as a good way to buy into many of the larger companies that are higher performers on the US market. I already have a full market ETF. What is your opinion?

Q: I have held MRE in my TFSA for the past couple of years and have done "okay".
However, I'm looking at moving into something with more total return potential and am considering either BTO or DPM, as I feel both could do well in a strengthening gold market (which I can foresee over the next year or so).
Which would you lean towards and why?
Thanks, Rick
