Q: Hi, Canadian Bitcoin ETFs seem to lose traction against the new US ETFs.
You had many comments on Bitcoin (halving,etc ..) in the QA.
What about the fate of Etherum ETFs ? Different enough or same path ? Why ?
Merci, Denise

Q: I hold both Canadian and US self directed accounts with CIBC Investors Edge and want to accumulate US funds (dividends) in a cash (high interest) ETF but understand that there appears to be no US ETF similar to HSUV.U traded on US exchanges. My question is do we need to verbally request the brokerage to transfer (journal) US funds into our Canadian accounts without conversion in order to invest (purchase) same in HSUV.U and does this look like transfer fees are involved?
Thank you.

Q: hello 5i:
Regarding the tax treatment of dividends from a US preferred share, held in a TFSA: would there be a 15% withholding tax on the dividend, or is it exempt because its in a TFSA?
Also: if there were a capital gain on the preferred held in the TFSA, would that be exempt from the 15% withholding tax?
thanks

Q: Somehow I missed registering for the Moneyshow this past week. Am I able to access a recording of it.
Also, do the Webinars and Podcast headings show all previous recordings of video events, at least for the past year. Thanks.

Q: Good afternoon all;

I currently own LMN and KXS in equal sized positions in TFSA's. I consider these my higher growth oriented emerging technology investments. I've held LMN since $30 and traded in and out of KXS between $100 and $200 since 2019.

My question is whether future investment gains would be better served trading out of KXS (which has performed historically but become frustrating and seems a laggard recently) and into Topicus (which seems a bit opaque).

Thanks as always,

Dave

Q: Greetings 5i Team,
In what order would you introduce these companies to a TFSA? I am looking for growth with an eye on risk.
Is there any among these that you would prefer not to add at this time?

Thank you

Q: Good Morning,

Knowing that you don’t follow Japan Index in a big way and also the run these ETFs have been on, what are your thoughts on holding one of these for minimum 3-5 years? If so which one? Still lots of upside, room to grow?

Looking to diversify a bit.


Thanks!
Robert

Q: You discussed micro-lending by saying

"Micro lending is fine for those that want to provide some capital for a social impact. But we would be very cautious seeing it as an 'investment' altnerative."

I could not agree more and I have found a lot of satisfaction lending through KIVA at https://www.kiva.org/
