Q: Question for 5i team (or any other RESP knowledgeable subscriber). Over the past 8 years my adult son has contributed a total of $20000 to my grandson's RESP. With interest earned plus CESG grants, the total value is now $25000. PLAN: I want to top off my grandson's RESP to the $50000 maximum allowed. QUESTION: Is my contribution $30000 -- or limited to $25000 in (consideration of the CESG and interest accruing to the account). Thanks.

Q: Analysts are estimating ATD.B's 2022 YE results for earnings growth to be flat, 2023 EPS to grow 5%, then EPS to grow at 8.5% for the next 5 subsequent years. I use a Stock Selection Guide to estimate the annual return for the next 5 years assuming these growth rates and it comes in at about 8% including the dividend. Doesn't seem like a high enough return to warrant purchase at the current price. What are your thoughts on this?
I assume analysts get their estimates from the forecasts of ATD.B, yet I was unable to locate any company forecasts/outlook in press releases or annual reports.
Have you come across any company forecasts in your research?
Thank you.

Q: greetings - as i move into retirement i have been taking a hard look at some of my portfolio. I inherited this stock many years ago and really haven't look at it too hard because of the nice US dividend. I need both us and cdn income in retirement. Given the high dividend how much risk is there. What are the downsides of continuing to own?

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
I'm not sure this is an appropriate question to ask but, here goes.
I was considering purchasing AMT for my TFSA and NonReg accounts.
Can you help explain the taxation issues I need to be aware of for each account. (capital gains and losses, distributions, dividends etc.
I understand that the taxation issues for a US REIT may be different from a US stock.
Thanks

Q: I have a 2/3 position in MDT whose share price has fallen much more than I expected due to a product recall. Was the said recall bad enough to warrant such a drop? I am tempted to top up my position. I hesitate, thinking there must be some bad news out there that I am unaware of. Is there?

MDT seems to have high trailing P/E probably due to elective surgery being postponed. Do you have the following: PEG; fwd P/E; ROE; ROCI ?

I also wonder if my views towards MDT are biased because I see it on the AAII dividend model portfolio; on a BAC top picks (issued a couple of weeks ago); and because it seems to have been a reasonably good dividend grower.
