Q: Hello Team,
I have some money on the sideline and I want to gradually put it into action.
Considering that the market is statistically overdue for a good drop (or at least flatline for a while), what would be your best 4 picks for a RRSP and your best 4 picks for TFSA. I would target a 50/50 income/growth mix in both cases.

Thank you!

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
My question is about industrial REITS- I have been slow to replace Pure Industrial - most of your recommendations have been Dir.un.
I bought that last week after you had given a slight preference to Summitt over it - yesterday you were asked to recommend one and you picked WPT - what’s up?

Thanks for all you do

Q: XAU owns near 80 M shares of Mene. In the Q, I read, the class B shares will be marked to market on Goldmoney’s balance sheet in subsequent quarters.
Not sure what this means. I believe this will have no impact on EPS, even when sold this will be a one time revenue, is this correct ? How do you see this moving the sp of XAU should Mene ever become say a $ 1.00 stock?
Thanks for all your help.

Q: hello 5i:
Long time holders of both of the above companies and intend to add to one. Have read the questions submitted in the past, but am wondering which of these companies would you favour:
A.) as far as total returns are concerned
B.) as far as safety is concerned
C.) as far as present valuations are concerned, adding in future growth possibilities

thanks, and deduct as many credits as necessary.
ps. Bought these companies YEARS ago, based on 5i recommendation. While they haven't quite been CSUs - what has? - my only regret is that we didn't buy more. Kudos to you Peter, as Ryan wasn't around back then.

Q: Hello Peter, Ryan and Team,

I have been plucking the weeds and watering the flowers. These three are my biggest losers in a taxable account down between 20% to 30% and haven't been rallying as the others. Can you make the case for both buying and selling each of these? Thank you,

Wes

Q: Hello,

We hold this U.S name in a registered account as with other U.S names and yet I notice on our statement that only this name gets deducted a "Non Resident Tax Withheld"

1) The Feb 26th dividend was reduced by 37% ! Did I get my calculation wrong? Could it really be 37%?
2) Why only on this name and not others?
3) If the yield has this handicap then shall I just sell and look for something else?

Many thanks
