Q: Risk tolerance in TFSA high. Both spouses are vested in defined benefit pension. 5 to 15 year timeframe. I am thinking of slowly adding to existing XBC position and initiating MITK position. Would you suggest waiting until after XBC reports? I worry a good buying opportunity will be lost if we don't add to that position in advance. Do we have a timeframe around the MITK legal situation?

Q: Lately I've noticed a lot of people on Fintwit commenting about the market switching from growth to value. A lot of them seem to be bullish on IWN. I already own IWO, and have enough cash to also buy IWN. If we are moving from growth to value, would IWN outperform IWO? Is there a big difference between them?

Q: Hi!

Looking to add BIP.U in my RRSP for a long term hold. I’m researching the Company and looking at the distribution of BIPC in March. I just want to make sure trust I understand the transaction because the share prices are quite different right now. The main goal was to reach a new investor base by distributing a Canadian Corp that is eligible to the dividend tax credit? The Companies are economically identical and it was treated similar to a share split. Does that mean that the market cap immediately before and after the distribution should be the same? The difference is share price now is due to more investors wanting the Corporation instead of the LP? Difference should narrow over time with BIPC coming down or BIP.U going up?

Thanks,
Jason

Q: I have recently transferred my RSP as cash to a LIRA account in another institution. This is a substantial number waiting for investing. In less than 2 years I will need to start transferring to RIF.
I have a few questions
1. What is a period of time you recommend to spread the purchasing of investments.
2. In the meantime, I would like to park cash buying a short-term ETF. Should I get one such an ETF or more to reduce the risk? Which ETF or RTFs would you recommend: ZCS, XSB, VSB, or other?
3. I am looking to have a 50/50 mixture of growth and income. Can you list several stocks, bonds, ETF etc. you would recommend to purchase at this time?

I appreciate your recommendation.
Casimir
