Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: The above ETFs represent my current holdings for Intn’l Equity exposure and are held in my RRSP. I am able to add to my Intn’l exposure in my RRSP and would like your recommendation for a C$ ETF that might fill in any gaps that my current holdings don’t cover or alternatively I could just add to my current holdings.
I do not need to RIF for 8 more years but some dividend yield would be preferable as I do draw out my div/int earnings annually.

Q: Currently my only energy exposure is by way of pipelines; ENB and PPL. Given the prospects for good energy demand and increasing dividends in the sector I would like your recommendation for a company with good dividends and relative strength to withstand the ups and downs in the sector.
This would be a long term position in my dividend focused non-registered portfolio.
I have targeted the above 3 companies as prospects but would be open to others you may recommend. Any preference for Oil vs Gas focus?

Q: I have been tempted to buy Lightspeed to put in my tfsa, as i see it falling. It is hard for me to judge, though, whether a fairly new stock, like this and quite volatile is appropriate for a retired person. I have a moderately high risk tolerance. But is this too risky for that demographic, do you think?
Thanks as always

Q: When I try to buy Google, it gives me a option to either buy GGOG.C
or GOOG in canadian as ALPHABET INC.CDR hedged.

Which is better for a cash account.

Also, whenever I buy any US stock, as soon as it shows up in my TD Waterhouse account, it is a couple of hundred down ( even if the stock price is the same ), why is that so.

Q: Hi,

If one would want to start with 1/3 position in a small cap value etf or mutual fund in tsfa, which ones would you be inclined to buy?

I did a fast scan and IJS looks pretty good, your thoughts?
Are you aware of any mutual fund that's worth a look? And lastly, are there any cons in holding US etf's in a tsfa?

Thank you
Rino

Also,

Q: Hello, in your disclaimers at the end of your responses it states whether any staff have a financial interest in the security in question. Could this mean a short position as well? Also could it mean the security is a merely held in an etf?

Thank you

Q: According to gsy news release gsy owns 1123570 shares of afrm. At 141 per afrm share that’s 158 million USD
Questions
1- how is that accounted for in the financial statement
2- I assume the forfeiture part means if paybright does not hit targets then gsy forfeits the 468k shares
3- is the market even reflecting this in gsy share price





ii) 655,416 common shares of Affirm, and iii) 468,154 common shares of Affirm held in escrow and subject to forfeiture if certain PayBright revenue milestones are not met

Q: I've had success buying good out-of-favor companies, especially in tax-loss season. In 2020, I loaded up on rate resent preferreds at very low prices (so the effective interest payments were good even if interest rates stayed low). This gave me optionality in case rates ever climbed. I also bought TOU and CVE when oil prices were extremely low.
This is for 5% of my portfolio, and is patient money. Suggestions?

Q: hello 5i:
no questions about this company. Strange, as it looks like a solid Industrial holding. Can you discuss and offer your opinion. Already hold LMT, TFII, NTR, and AC in the Industrial space, so would you add to an existing position, or would CR be a good addition to this mix.
thanks
