Q: Form 1042-S

Hi there,

I know you 're not a tax expert but maybe you are familiar with form 1042-S. Just asking where to input the numbers under this form on my tax return. This is the first time I received on this one. The reason Im asking is because I asked my broker and still they did not get back to me.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter et al,

You folks are very knowledgeable about Long Short Options and other hedging techniques. With that in mind, may I ask for your opinion about Simplify ETFs for income. I was impressed by Michael Greene's interview on Danny Moses' podcast.
(On the tape with Danny Moses).

Looked at his website and he seems to offer a lot of income generating ETFs based on solid instruments. (Bonds, Treasuries and Solid stocks). HIGH, BUCK, CRDT, AGGH etc.,

The MER seems reasonable. But only available in USD.

Worth dipping in? Which one would you as their best offering?

If you think there are better alternatives here in Canada or even in the US, please feel free to share your suggestions.

Many thanks.

Q: Given that they had been put into the penalty box because of past transgressions with account openings, I had a thesis that WFC would benefit significantly from the Trump administration plan to deregulate. Unfortunately, my timing was off, the shares had already increased and dropped after I invested. At this point I wonder if I should abandon my thesis and move to another financial holding. In your view, would GS be a better investment? And why? Alternatively, although Regional banks were hit hard in the past, FITB seems to be favourably viewed; would that be better than WFC or GS? And if so, why? This is in a TFSA and looking for growth, not income. Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
SAN has been on a positive run this year hitting a new high. I know you do not follow European Banks. However any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Apparently they are selling their Polish Bank. So do you think all the good news has been baked in? Do you think it has any more up side or will it plateau soon and maybe retreat? Thanks for your insights!

Q: hi 5i,
I have the above 4 in my TFSA. I am considering selling ATZ ( due to tariff concerns vis a vis Aritzia manufacturing in China/Vietnam/etc. ). I own ATZ in another account and will keep it there. I would deploy the proceeds of a potential ATZ sell in the TFSA to the other 3 remaining equities, or perhaps to another equity if you have any other better suggestions currently ( CDN equities only please ). cheers and thanks, Chris
