Q: Hi 5i. Merry Christmas to all !

I need some help with the mechanics of an 'in-kind transfer'. Particularly with one from a RRSP to a TFSA.

If I use the 2023 TFSA contribution limit of $6500 and want to move that amount of Stock 'A' from a RRSP to a TFSA, then I understand that withholding tax would apply to that amount.

Where does the withholding tax get paid from? I am assuming a number of Stock 'A' shares would be sold to cover the amount of tax owed. Is that correct?

Furthermore, is it possible to have the withholding tax paid from cash within the RRSP or would the tax owed be added to the transfer of $6500 0f Stock 'A' to the TFSA?

Essentially, can I move $6500 of Stock 'A' to the TFSA and pay the withholding tax from cash in the RRSP, as if they were two separate transactions.

Thanks in advance.

Q: In 5iresearch data info the BAM has no info about its dividend and dividend frequency payments . Do you have this information on these and it payout ratio? I understand that this stock has been relatively recently created from the reorganization of the Brookfield Asset Management but is the data I am asking available for investors? I have looked on line for such data and appears to be available. Thank you . Miroslaw

Q: Hello,

In light of the recent takeovers of WPT Industrial by Blackstone and Summit Industrial by Dream Industrial /GIC, what are your thoughts on the possibility of Chartwell being acquired? A BNN guest mentioned that Blackstone recently opened a Canadian office and has apparently hired an analyst with experience in retirement residence REITS. Please rate the probability of a takeover on 1-10 basis whereby 10 is very likely. Also, how safe is the dividend? Thanks for the great service.

Regards,
Anthony

Q: The answer here might be obvious, but I'll ask the question nevertheless. Is there a CRA weasel rule that discourages selling a stock at a profit inside a TFSA and then immediately buying the same stock in an unregistered account?

Q: Hello,

Given the Core Scientific bankruptcy filing, can you comment on Riot's financials to weather the crypto winter.

Thank you!

Q: With the high yield of BAM I was planning to hold it in my cash account, yet today in a response to Jim you recommend it be held in a registered account. I am curious about your rationale for that recommendation. Do you know if the distribution will be a pure dividend? Thank you as always.

Q: In a slowdown, would you swap WSP for TFI?

Q: In your response to Randy about converting BNRE to BN you stated

"Under the structure, there is really only an advantage if the price of BNRE is higher than the price of BN and one wants to sell (and get the higher price). Right now there is a 20c difference, not really material enough to make a switch. Dividends and economic exposure are equivalent."

I would have thought that you would only want to convert BNRE to BN if BRNE was tradng LOWER than BN not HIGHER, thus trading a less valuable stock up to a more valuable stock. What am I missing?

Thanks
