Investment Q&A

Q: Hi,
I am wondering about whether or not replacing stocks sold for a tax loss strategy is prudent, or not. All of the above listed stocks are at a loss in a taxable account. I am looking to offset a large profit that occurred in July when a number of stops were hit. The loss on GSY and SBUX is not terribly large, and so if it is deemed these stand a good chance of rebounding in the early part of 2022, then I may decided to keep them. In selling any of the stocks listed, are their replacements I could purchase that would likely add some growth? The alternative being just wait out the 30 day period and repurchase the strongest of the list. Your thoughts and suggestions would be most appreciated! Thanks for all the great advice over the years! Dawn

Q: I want to buy a gold stock or etf in USDollars, ie traded in the states, what would you recommend?
Thanks Bob

Q: Would this portfolio held in RRIF have withholding tax on dividends. Does this look like a good portfolio?

Q: In my RRIF I need a Communications service sector. In my PA you suggested VOX, but I am wondering if there is a Canadian ETF in this sector that you could recommend?
Also an alternative is XGD.TO okay to invest in a RRIF?
Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,

Thank you in advance for you guidance. It is much appreciated. So, I am very bullish for gold and silver. I have invested in physical gold and but I want to take advantage of gold and silver companies as well. I love The Gold Fund at EuroPacific Asset Management (https://europacificfunds.com/funds/gold-fund/) that is managed by Adrian Day, but it requires a $100K minimum investment for Canadians. Can you recommend a really great ETF or Mutual Fund that is similar?

Q: Hi,

Im looking to buy gold in US market as I own XGD in CDN market. What do you recommend?

Q: Apologies for the long list. Could I have your opinion on which I should sell? I will probably take the proceeds and add to FNV, AEM, and KL (are those reasonable choices?). Thanks very much.

Q: I currently a small amount of GDX and GLD. I would like to increase my gold holdings a bit. Is there a stock you recommend? I am wondering about ABX or GOLD, if you like those, and is GOLD better than the CAD ABX? Or do you prefer another gold stock?
Also, is this a good time to buy silver? If so, would you recommend a stock or an ETF, CAD or US? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I am looking to invest in gold. Are there any ETFs that you would recommend? What individual stocks would you recommend?

Thanks as always,
Jon

Q: Do you consider XGD good for an investor who does not want to select different companies in gold sector.Hold for 2 years 500 shares approx. 4% of portfolio.Any other suggestions

Q: Which etf do you recommend to play gold/silver sector? Looking for low cost option with good liquidity, covering producers. Equal weight or not?

Q: As a hedge which of these gold ETF's would you take a modest position in?

Q: I am planning to sell ABX to take a tax loss. However, I like to stay invest in the gold/gold miner sector. I can get my wife to buy back ABX or any of the above companies. I would like your opinion on your preferred investment vehicle in gold/gold miner at this time > any of the above 5 companies? or do you have any other favorite company in this sector ? BTW, can you let me know if I buy ABX in the NYSE, will its dividend qualified for Canadian dividend tax credit ? Thank you.

Q: Good morning Peter.
Regarding the gold miners ETFs GDX and GDXJ trading on the NYSE, do I have to declare these as "foreign property" on my Cdn tax return (for cost base greater than $100,000)???

Q: As someone who currently has little exposure to gold and precious metals, it seems that, from reading responses to other questions, now would be a good time to jump in. Would you be against a 5% investment?

What are two stocks and two etfs you like in this sector?

Thanks!

Q: would like to add a U.S. gold stock or etf to my portfolio...
would appreciate your thoughts!
