Q: TSLA had a huge move up after three years of flatlining. It just broke through its all time high. Do you think this move is largely related to the market starting to price in future growth from FSD, Robotaxi, energy and Optimus? Do you think these lines of business will start to contribute to revenue in 2025 in a meaningful way? Appreciate your take.

Thanks.

Q: I've owned TD for over 30 years and am sitting on a large unrealized capital gain. I know this is a great "problem" to have but I resent paying up to 33% tax on any sale now that the feds have upped the tax inclusion rate to 2/3 from 1/2. I took all the risk but lose close to 1/3 of the reward.
Can you suggest any way to mitigate/reduce any tax hit if I were to dump my TD shares?
I hate to say it but I suspect that this issue will only increase (i.e. next step will be 75% inclusion) as the feds look to gouge people to cover their horrific fiscal ineptitude.

Q: Hi Peter & 5i staff

Thanks for answering my recent real estate sector question in which you suggested that Granite could help diversify my sector holdings.

According to a recent Globe and Mail article, would you agree that Granite "will experience tailwinds because it derives most of its revenue from US based assets"? The article focused on how to manage Trump 2.0.

Thanks as always for your timely responses.

Q: Hello Peter,

In the US, where would you go for the Santa rally? Would it be momentum stocks? Undervalued? Specific sectors -Industrials, AI related? or Crypto?
I am thinking crypto - the backers of the new govt. Add dollar tariffs to the mix. Crypto heads higher.
How would you play the Canadian market end of the year? I am going to dabble in short term trading this year.

Regards

Rajiv
