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

Q: Good day
At what price point would you say Alphabet, Oracle and PHYS.CA are screaming buys. If it is easier you can use the price of gold in US instead of PHYS. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Q: Is it concerning that NVDA had really good results (but not good enough) and the market is selling off? When all the good news is baked into prices and there's nothing stock earnings can do to impress the markets, is it time to get defensive? Is it more tariff and recession related? The 10 yr is down to 4.3% so you would think it's good for equities that rates are coming down, but if the reason for the decline is because we are expecting a recession, it's not good. I'm not really panicking but portfolio is mainly growth oriented and there are signs that the market is rolling over due to excessive valuation and a whole lot of other worries. Any advice on how we should be positioning or getting more defensive? Thanks!

Q: Hi,

You aren't tax experts and this isn't a tax forum - but to the extent you can answer please:

If Canadians own shares in USD on the US side of their brokerage account in US companies, such as Google and Microsoft, and the COST of those shares exceeds $100,000 CAD, is that Canadian required to file Form T1135 with the CRA?

Alternatively, if a Canadian owns a CDR for Google, for example, on the TSX in CAD, and that COST exceeds $100,000, does that Canadian need to file a Form T1135?

Thank you,

Q: Hi 5i,
What's your best choice for an ETF to park some money in a safe place that will get better returns than a high interest savings account. Previously I had some in the ETF CASH but I understand that some governmental changes have resulted in these types of ETFs delivering lower return than previously.
Thanks!

Q: A recent article in the Globe postulated that M & A activity in the Canadian tech sector could increase in 2025. Some of the reasons given were the delayed implementation of the increase in capital gains taxation, the low Canadian dollar and tariffs.

Are there tech companies you would view as potential take-over targets in 2025?

Thanks for the great service!

Ian
