Q: Hello 5i - I recently took my first Air Canada flights ( six legs) in twenty months and it was not pretty. Delays, cancellations, frustrations at customer service and on. I realise that restarting a big operation like AC is a massive undertaking but I was left wondering if I shouldn't get rid of my shares and maybe come back another time. So, hold or sell? What do you think?

Q: Stocks that I hold are Sun Life for the past 3 months going sideways between $63 and $65, TRI hit a one month low of $143.70 and STLC a one month low of $39.95 while the market has been moving up at quite a pace. I know you liked Sun Life and TRI. Are there any of these I should be looking to get out of?
INMD is a health stock on quite a run for quite some time and I was looking to get in but I would like to see some sort of pause before I do something like that. I don't know how you feel about it but Motley Fool had recommended it. I do not subscribe to Motley Fool but sometimes some of their picks show up on my inbox. Your guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i, my question is on asset allocation and I know this is a personal question. That said, I'm getting older and capital preservation is even more important to me now. I'm thinking 6% gold, 15% cash, 10% REITs, 15% fixed income (including preferred shares), and the rest (54%) in stocks throughout the world but mostly North American based. Is this reasonable for someone that's getting older? and am I missing any asset classes.
Thanks

Q: Just to be clear. If I journal a company from my CDN to US account, then the dividends are still subject to the Canadian dividend tax credit, even though they are paid in US funds.

The internet says: "
Since U.S. dividends are not paid from Canadian corporations, U.S. dividends do not qualify for the preferential Canadian dividend tax treatment. Foreign dividends, including U.S. dividends, are subject to tax at your marginal tax rate like interest income."

Q: I have a position in BAM and am thinking of increasing it or adding a new position in BX to enhance my diversification. Does BX offer a range of different assets compared to BAM, or am I simply doubling up? Is now a good time for a purchase of either BAM or BX? Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i Team - I have shares of ECN in both my non-registered and TFSA accounts. Could you tell me if the special dividend of $7.50 will be treated by Revenue Canada as a regular dividend by a Canadian corporation. If so then there will be a percentage added to the amount of dividend for total income purposes which could affect my marginal tax rate. Is it better then to move the non-registered shares into my TFSA (in spite of the dividend tax credit) which will trigger a capital gains of 50% of the profit. Thanks as always for the great service!
