Q: For discussion purposes, If one has taxable income of >$220K in Ontario, the tax rate on income would be 53.53% and 26.77% on capital gains (for now!).

My first question is if one trades too frequently in a TFSA and the CRA decrees that this is business income, then is it correct to assume that the gains are taxed at 53.33% i.e., go from 0% tax to 53.53% tax?

My second question. If one trades too frequently in an unregistered cash account, is that also treated as a business and taxed at 53.33% i.e., go from 26.77% tax to 53.54% tax?

Any thoughts on roughly how much “too frequent” is?
Thanks so much.

Q: I have held AQN in my TFSA since 2012. Given your recent comments on it as more of a "hold" than growth as well as my attempt to pivot my TFSA away from income to more of a more growth tilt am wondering if it is time to "graduate" AQN to my income-with-growth leaning non-reg account before year end? I also hold FTS, BEP and BIP in my non-reg accounts. I am retired investor but do not depend upon my investment income and challenged by a 43% marginal tax rate with this move.

Q: Regarding ATVI, If this drop continues would you step in at a certain price or is it low enough already that you are comfortable for a 5 year hold? Is there a price that screams out to you BUY!?

I feel the stock reaction is overblown not, to dismiss the issues at hand but I don’t feel anything has changed with the companies outlook long term with great gaming assets and the metaverse theme gaining traction moving forward.

Q: Fire sale - V - 13 month low; MA just as bad; along with the rest of these. Do you think the people selling them have knowledge that we do not have and that is why they are selling these stocks. What is your take on what is happening? Thanks
