Q: Hello friends,

I'm interested in MLPA:US but since the ETF is a holder of mostly US LPs, I'm not sure if the new taxation and selling rules for US LPs will apply to it as well. What would be the implications of holding it in a registered or margin account aside from the normal Canadian taxation rules? Hoping you can shed some light on this.

Many thanks!

Q: WELL was $3.50 in August 2020 and its $3.55 today.

Reminds me a lot of GUD. IMHO 5i tends to be overly patient on some failed investments whereby selling them and moving on could make for a much better return.

So I have been as patient as I want to be with WELL. When I sell my shares of WELL, which I intend to do, what would be a good replacement that is well managed and has good potential growth in its future outlook?

And of course, has a proven management team.

Thanks

Q: With the recent market drop in this stock on the news of the US fine and the possibility of future fines (several if I remember their news announcement correctly) and with the time frame that it seems to make these decisions do you still have faith in this stock going forward or is there still more downside than upside this stock going forward.

Q: I have a longstanding position in Alphabet (GOOG) in a corporate account, and I am planning to crystalize this position prior to the June 24, 2024 deadline (to qualify for the lower capital gains tax rate). Here is my question: I plan to rebuy my position in Alphabet, but I am wondering if I should take the opportunity to repurchase the GOOGL--rather than the GOOG--shares. Right now, these two classes of shares trade at similar prices, but there is a possibility that the voting shares (GOOGL) could trade at a premium in the future. What would you do if you were faced with this decision?

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I have a handful of losers that I'm trying to decide what to do with. Using your crystal ball, which of these would you continue to hold and which would you dump?

Q: Good morning all;

I currently own 4 energy infrastructure firms in tax sheltered accounts; amounting to 7% weighting in my portfolio. As part of an overall portfolio review i've concluded I'd like to get that down to 2; for a combination dividends and growth. My question is - which would be your preferred 2 with these parameters.

Thanks as always.

Dave

Q: I've read your previous answers to questions on this bank.

However, even if the stock has "priced in" the bad news doesn't this reflect very badly on management, governance, compliance etc of this institiution.

I would far sooner put money in other banks like RY. To date TD is by far the worst performing of the big banks (-15%) and I daresay this might be just the beginning of this mess.

Why not cut bate, sell it as it is a spoiled equity for the forseeable future and buy a well managed FI?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

I realize that there are economic arguments and opinions on both sides of the carbon tax issue specifically and climate change in general. My question is framed, I hope, in a non-political way.

I had heard Pierre Pollievre comment on using technology to combat climate change. A Google search resulted in:

https://www.biv.com/news/resources-agriculture/poilievres-energy-plan-carrots-not-sticks-8270266

In the article, Pollievre is quoted as saying: “I’ll have specific measures to do that when the time is right,” he said. “But what we say, very clearly, is that we need technology rather than taxes in order to fight climate change, and that includes carbon capture, nuclear or hydro dams.”

I realize that the next election won’t probably occur until next year, but should Pollievre become PM at that time, some stocks may experience tailwinds, while others may have headwinds.

Could 5i look into their “crystal ball” to list some Canadian stocks that might be positively impacted by a new policy, as well as a possible reverse impact on some other stocks.

As always, thanks in advance for your insight.
