Q: Simple question. My average cost of Xebec is $9.86. Obviously not good. Your suggestion please dump it and move on, buy more or just wait it out. Obviously a long way back. Thank You..

Q: Risk tolerance in TFSA high. Both spouses are vested in defined benefit pension. 5 to 15 year timeframe. I am thinking of slowly adding to existing XBC position and initiating MITK position. Would you suggest waiting until after XBC reports? I worry a good buying opportunity will be lost if we don't add to that position in advance. Do we have a timeframe around the MITK legal situation?

Q: Hi 5i,

TFII just released news that it is planning to pay out its dividend in US dollars unless the shareholder elects to take the money in C$. Based on this change, would one be right to journal over the shares to a US account and not make any election in order to receive the dividend in US$?

Q: Lately I've noticed a lot of people on Fintwit commenting about the market switching from growth to value. A lot of them seem to be bullish on IWN. I already own IWO, and have enough cash to also buy IWN. If we are moving from growth to value, would IWN outperform IWO? Is there a big difference between them?

Q: Hi!

Looking to add BIP.U in my RRSP for a long term hold. I’m researching the Company and looking at the distribution of BIPC in March. I just want to make sure trust I understand the transaction because the share prices are quite different right now. The main goal was to reach a new investor base by distributing a Canadian Corp that is eligible to the dividend tax credit? The Companies are economically identical and it was treated similar to a share split. Does that mean that the market cap immediately before and after the distribution should be the same? The difference is share price now is due to more investors wanting the Corporation instead of the LP? Difference should narrow over time with BIPC coming down or BIP.U going up?

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Hi Ryan what your thoughts on the chances of government approval on Rodgers acquisition of Shaw
Kind regards
Stan

Q: Hi 5i,
I was called out of ITP as I didn't expect such a good earnings report. Was thinking of up grading from ITP to CCL. I noticed CCL is in the balanced portfolio therefore is now a good time to buy or are these both overbought and I should wait for a pull back.

Q: This morning I learned that Rogers is in the process of acquiring Shaw. I am not sure what this means as the main reason I purchased SJR.B is for their monthly dividend. In your opinion once Rogers acquires Shaw does this mean that Shaw dividend will disappear and is there any point to me holding onto the stock?

Q: I have recently transferred my RSP as cash to a LIRA account in another institution. This is a substantial number waiting for investing. In less than 2 years I will need to start transferring to RIF.
I have a few questions
1. What is a period of time you recommend to spread the purchasing of investments.
2. In the meantime, I would like to park cash buying a short-term ETF. Should I get one such an ETF or more to reduce the risk? Which ETF or RTFs would you recommend: ZCS, XSB, VSB, or other?
3. I am looking to have a 50/50 mixture of growth and income. Can you list several stocks, bonds, ETF etc. you would recommend to purchase at this time?

I appreciate your recommendation.
Casimir
