Q: I would like to share our experience with "passive investing" versus self-management. We have part of our portfolio with TD Wealth Management so there is no work involved for us. However, in early 2021 TD Wealth Mgmt decided the US market was going to be better and they shifted 80% of the portfolio to the USA. Not only did this turn out to be a bad decision (Canadian market did better), but the turnover generated over $100K in capital gains and an unexpected $30K tax bill for 2021. Had I being actively managing the account I would have shifted over time and watched my capital gains. ETFs, however, would not have this type of turnover.

Q: Hi,

Not a question, but an information you may have missed while responding to a question on GRA on June 1st.

The 32% surge on GRA on May 30th may be the result of an article that day in La Presse, Quebec largest newspaper, on promising Canadian stocks. In the business section of the newspaper, GRA was on top of the list of promising stocks, with a potential gain of 200% in one year, according to some analysts quoted in the article.

Hope this is helpful.

Q: A question about ZRE in the 5i Income Portfolio. I would like to add more real estate to my non-registered account at Questrade. Would it be an accounting hassle to hold ZRE in a non-registered account or would Questrade automatically calculate the ACB? Or would it be best to hold TCN and/or other Canadian real estate holdings that would receive a dividend tax credit?
Thanks!

Q: Really don't understand why WELL keeps stubbornly going down even though they have successfully integrated their acquisitions in the last 2 years. They are soon to be profitable and yet no one seems to pay them respect. I realize that we're in a tough market but is there something else? They just raised money to make future acquisitions. Are shorts still after them? What is it that I'm missing?

Q: there's a big percentage of Canadas population that are between 57 and 64 in the work force that don't have pensions and soon will have to depend on CPP and OAS. Both of which don't amount too much monthly. People will probably have to live in poverty and cash in RRSPs ,if they have any. What affect could all of this have on the stock market in the near future ? Thanks
