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

Many Thanks

Q: Hi. I follow your Canadian balanced portfolio and have all the above industrials except XBC. Following your advice to not to add to losers SIS has become my smallest holding at 2%. I have had it for over 3 years so not really down when considering the dividend. My though is possibly replacing it with XBC. Your insight would be appreciated. Is SIS just out of favor and XBC overpriced. Or does XBC just have so much more potential?

Q: I own a number of Canadian dividend paying companies (ENB, TD, BCE, CNR, CM, SLF) in a taxable account. Is there a downside to "journaling" these stocks to the US side in order to be paid these dividends in US dollars? It would allow me to reinvest in other US listed companies without having to exchange money.
