Q: I have owned MCR for quite some time and wanted to get out of it but I was down about 40% for the longest time, Now there's news its going private at 4 bucks a share and the price has skyrocketed. At the 3.92 its currently trading at I'm only down 5%, so would this be a good time to exit? When would I receive the cash of 4$ a share if I continue to hold?

Q: Good day 5i Team,

Any thoughts? Would you dump it in favor of another or add the proceeds to the existing list?

Thanks as always.

Q: My wife has $75,000 to invest in her TFSA, in which she is also holding 100 shares of TD Bank along with 100 shares of TD in an RSP. She is retiring in a month has a defined pension plan, CPP, OAS. But she is still looking for dividend income either monthly or quarterly to supplement her income.
We are looking at going with "Beating the TSX Portfolio 2022" but also looking at ZWU and ZWC which look like they could bring in more income but higher fees. What are your thoughts? Thank you.

Q: Greetings,

Trying to reduce REIT holdings and would appreciate your advice: I don't mind keeping both but if one was sold and all the proceeds used to buy the other, then which one would you prefer to keep adding to? Both classified as "retail" . Which one has more potential to keep growing?

Many thanks!

Q: Thank you for answering my question on Value ETFs. on February 9th. You had mentioned DFIV, IVLU and VBR in your selection but didn't include VVL.

I was wondering if this omission of VVL was intentional with some reason behind it or just a slip from your meory.

Few months ago to one of questions, you had mentioned that VVL has done well because it included banks. Do you think US banks still a value play?

Thanks in advance.

Q: Greetings 5i team,
Marcel asked a question about contributing $10k to his granddaughter's RESP. If he wants to maximize the juicy gov't grant, he should first review the rules under which the grant is awarded; that large a contribution may not all be recognized for the grant, if made in a single year.
