Q: Hello 5I; Microsoft has had a very successful run; it is hard to argue with success but some commentators on BNN have suggested it has now reached a bit of a top and will not continue to rise. Other BNN commentators have pointed to CVS as being good value and past their problems. I am thinking of a switch. Can you analyze the prospects for these two and provide your thoughts on this idea. Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: I have been purchasing these three oil Companies this month with a view Tax Loss Selling will end on Dec 27th, Oil Prices moving UP, world economies are improving, demand for Oil will increase, China USA Tariffs will come off, Trump will remain as President may even be reelected in 2020. I expect a good rebound in Oil shares in January, February. TMP is being built perhaps other pipelines as well. Both Liberals & Conservatives want TMP to be completed.

Am I on the Correct Course ? What Oil companies would you Buy if you agree with my Thesis ? What do you think of my selections ? Joseph Schacter likes them .RAK

Q: good morning 5i and all the best of the season to you.

in a question asked earlier this morning someone asked about some core holdings in a tfsa. you gave a handful of stocks which look good. i am always trying to allocate stocks in the best account. one of the points i look at is dividend yield. i try to gwt higher yielding Canadian stocks into my non registered account in order to get the dividend tax credit. of course you lose this in a tfsa. i noticed that a couple of the stocks which you mentioned as core holdings in a tfsa had dividends. MG for instance has over a 2 % yield. i was wondering what considerations do you take into account when looking at putting a dividend paying stock into a tfsa?
thanks

Q: Hi,
Just trying to clean up the portfolio a bit. I'm holding sector ETF's ZUH and ZBK, but I also hold JPM and GILD, for example. I see that JPM is 5% holding within ZBK, but GILD is not even a holding within ZUH. Is there any point holding both the sector ETF's and any/some individual stocks in that sector. Thoughts on this?

Thanks!
