This is a question about RSP and RIF accounts. What happens when you sell a stock for profit in these accounts. Do you have to declare the profit immediately on this years tax return? Or do you just pay the tax when you withdraw money from the account... when you must withdraw a certain percentage every year after 65years of age. In other words your profits can just accumulate in the account and taxes are assessed when you withdraw funds out of the account itself?

Q: I have a balanced million dollar portfolio holding as many as 30 equities at a time. Currently I would like to hold all positions however hesitate to do so because of your stated advice that 20 to 25 holdings is optimal. My question is two parts:
1. Am I correct that that is your position, and if so, why?
2. If I were to liquidate five or more of my positions, which for one reason or another at this time I would like to hold all, how might I decide which to liquidate and which to hold? Thanks for the great service, Daniel

Q: Hi,
Just as a follow up to David's question today about building a simple index etf portfolio. I noticed you did not recommend any ex North America exposure. I thought the mantra was 1/3 equity Canada 1/3 u.s and 1/3 outside NA.
Thank you!

cash, the share price is on a roll and hitting 52 week highs.

Thanks.

Q: Hi,
Could you recommend the best and simplest way to build a well balanced portfolio for a passive long term investor? Would it be etfs? If so could you recommend the ones you think (possibly 3-5)? They would be held in a TFSA and added to annually to maximize tfsa room and DRIPS would be used whenever possible.
Thanks!
