Q: Hello Peter:
I see a constant flow of questions about "best growth stock", or "best for Balanced Portfolio", but can't remember one on Income Portfolio stocks. So here it is: could you give me your 3 (stretch it out to 5 if you wish), best stocks for income? The criteria might be:
- amount of dividend/distribution
- safety of the dividend/distribution
- growth potential of the dividend/distribution

I do apologize if this question has been asked and I somehow missed it.
thanks

Q: NVIDIA (nvda) has done very well from November to February but seems to have lost its momentum since. My question is which is the next NVIDIA and in which sector of the semiconductors do uou think it is best to focus ? For instance, any of the followings would you consider most promising or too risky and why ? Applied Material (amat), Broadcom (avgo), KLA-Tencor (klac), Lam Research (lrcx), Microchip Tech (mchp), Micron Tech (mu), OCLARO inc (oclr), ON Semiconductor (on), Skyworks Solutions (swks), Taiwan Semiconductor (tsm), Texas Instrument (txn). Or any other you have in mind outside that list ?

Love the way you work, you are most helpful. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter I am confused of a writer yesterday saying he took funds from his RIF and moved them into his TSFA .The CRA rules that have been explained to me rightly or wrongly this is a no can do .Any withdrawals for a RIF or RRSP is a taxable event thus must be transferred in a cash taxable account first and then one can do what he wishes after the CRA rule is complied with.
Am I and the CRA wrong ?
Kind Regards
Stan
