Q: We have experienced a nice rally in spite of the traditional chaos associated with equity investing. I am thinking I would like to take some risk off but need to balance the portfolio income generated vs rrif drawdownn. Thinking I should reduce the Cdn Market ETF ( lowest income generator) and retain high yielding defensive generators. I know increasing cash level generates lower income still. What are your thoughts moving towards more preservation with this strategy.
Q: What are your thoughts on the Simplify Opportunistic Income ETF (Symbol CRDT). as per their site this ETF "seeks to provide current income, with long-term capital appreciation as a secondary objective". I like the healthy 7% dividend as well as the "limits" in share price between ~ $24.50 and $26.00 over the last couple of years. Do you know if any of the returns are ROC ? Overall thoughts on this for a safe/healthy dividend (I am focused on income not capital appreciation).
Q: Regarding the proposed 5% excise tax on funds leaving the US, there was a comment that it may affect foreigners from investing in the US.......how would this affect a CND who holds US Stocks in a Canadian brokerage account?
Q: Follow up to the last GLXY answer. Could you explain the transfer process in more detail please.
I don't understand the process. Are the Canadian shares going to be sold then repurchased on US side? I hold in my DYI TFSA and RRSP accounts with other US holdings.
Thank you
Jeff

Q: Hi 5i Team,
Recent energy and infrastructure M&A (e.g., Parkland-Sunoco, MEG-Strathcona, Enbridge-Brookfield) signals consolidation, driven by Carney’s "pro-energy" and P3 policies amid U.S. tariff pressures. What’s your view on this trend? Can you suggest 3–5 small- to mid-cap Canadian companies (excluding megacaps like Suncor, Brookfield) poised for growth or acquisition in these sectors? Please highlight key risks. Thanks!

Q: Hi,
Last week it reported Q1-2025 earnings. It missed its EPS and revenue also come lower but from the share price movement this news is considered as positive as share price reached 12 month high. Can you please give your analysis on this kind of scenario? Is this considered as selling opportunity to take advantage of rally or there is some positive news under the numbers which normal investor did not see?

Q: Just a follow up on yesterdays question re the exchanges.
If the shares on the Canadian exchange are delisted does one need to sell on the Canadian side and then buy on the US side if wanted or will this transfer happen automatically? I don't really want to sell my shares and trigger a capital gain only to buy the same on the US side and pay two transaction fees.
Thanks

Thanks.
Thanks.
Q: I know this is speculation, but if Strathcona raised their offer and closes the deal with MEG. Do you feel that the price of SCR goes down on the news, similar to WCP going down when it bought Veren. The purchaser tends to go down because they are taking on debt, or diluting, etc while the purchased goes up because of a premium on the purchase price. I'm just wondering if it makes more sense to wait on the news of the deal to finalize. One outcome being they get MEG at a higher price, and their share price pulls back a bit due to the integration risks etc. OR the deal falls through or another company gets MEG and SCR price still goes down on the news for losing the deal.
