Q: Hello Peter and 5i Team

My question is regarding my wife's RRSP room which currently is at approx $20,000. She has an indexed pension and anticipates retiring in about 10 years. In addition she has approx $60,000 in her RRSP which she has chosen to be in low risk investments. When she retires she will also receive her sick time payout of 6 months salary($55,000 in today's dollars)
We have been forgoing contributing further to her RRSP with the idea of rolling the sick time payout directly into her RRSP to avoid the tax hit. Anticipating that she can add another $20,000-$30,000 in RRSP room in the next 10 years is this a wise move? To totally top up her RRSP now would require borrowed money.

Thank You

Q: In one your responses you mentioned keeping small companies in TFSA (for biggest bang)...what would be your pick(3 or 4 names) for starting out in a $5500 account...adding to each year...thanks

Q: What is your opinion on TASR: Nasdaq?

Q: atp has gone down lately ,could comment on it's future.andre

Q: Hello 5i,
I would like to add some southeast asia exposure to my portfolio. Jardine Matheson (JM - SP) was recommended on BNN as a good diversified holding. I did some research and thought it was interesting with exposure to China and Hong Kong (although real estate and land...) Would you know the name ? If so, can you please comment?

Instead, could it be just as good to buy some EWS:US (is the yield paid in USD?) or another ETF that you could recommend ? I was thinking of an allocation of 5 - 10% of my stock portfolio.

Also, is it possible to buy stocks on an international exchange through brokerage accounts ?

Your advice would be much appreciated, sorry for the long message and many questions and Thank you again for your great service. Regards.

Q: West Texas Intermediate crude for December delivery added $1.43 to $94.80 on the New York Merc, while Brent for December lost nine cents to $105.24 (all figures in this para U.S.). Western Canadian Select traded at a discount of $41.79 to WTI ($53.01),

With the above said I have some questions :
1.what would be the price at which a good producer ( like surge ,whitecape and CPG )could make money ,( pay a divined and spend enough capital to keep doing well.
2. does a company like Argent , American CPg (oil ) get the WTI pricing.
3. do you think that in the next 2 to 5years the discount rate will be significantly reduced on a consistent basis.
4. Short term 2 years are pipelines planned and approved now going to make a difference.
I hold quite a lot of oil stocks and may have made assumptions that will prove unrealistic especially on pricing and discounts. .
any light on the above will be most helpful
thanks as always
