Q: Am retired with a cash account full of utilities, banks , pipes, reits, telecoms etc. for income. Over the last 6 months have added BN and GSY for more growth. Have targeted the following growth stocks for next purchase :

XIT : basket of CDN techs

Your opinion of each would be appreciated. What is your order of buying based on valuation and growth potential ?

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: Winpak has been a slow growth company for many years (10 year revenue cagr 5.8%), but last year had a jump in revenue of 17.9%. They have several expansion projects underway. Do you think last year was an outlier, or with their expansion plans, is there some potential they can sustain this growth rate? What does the market expect?

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 ?

Q: ENB has been buying back stock at much higher prices and now does a bought deal stock offering with the banks at a much lower price. Management would be far better using that money to purchase this deal they just made rather than diluting shareholders. Is this management team that effective? Looks like similar playbook to TIXT . Thoughts
Thx

Q: Hi there,

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?
