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

Q: Can you recommend any stocks that would benefit if China invaded Taiwan? I was thinking along the line of military, resources, submarine, sea technology stocks, etc. But if you know of any other ones that would be great too. Thanks.

Q: I'd like your opinion on these two stocks in the renewables sector. Which one or both do you think is a preferred for a 5 year hold? Is there another company that may be positioned better for this sector? Thank you.

Q: Hi team,

In your replies to questions you sometimes refer to "sleep at night stocks". Those above were so qualified, among others.
I would very much appreciate if you could provide a good list of such stocks at this point, both Canadian and U.S., in order of potential growth in 5 years or less, with a short comment summarizing your present view on each.

Please use as many credits as you see fit.

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

Q: I am trying to determine the economic dynamics of bitcoin, specifically mining. Today’s G&M article on bitcoin states that with the halving and its the resultant effect , and the cap of 21 million coins , the rewards for mining will become smaller eventually approaching zero. Am I correct in this ? If miners get no reward then someday they will cease to mine. What would replace this I wonder. Economics 101 would show that a cap on anything skews the economic model and creates opportunities. I know GLXY does much more than mining . Still trying to figure this whole thing out. Thanks. Derek

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
