Q: Hi 5i,
I have ORACLE stock in a Basic Securities Account with Morgan Stanley (I used to work for Oracle Corp. in Canada), and now I want to move the stocks and/or funds from the US to Canada, and I have some questions:

Are there any tax implications for me to move the investments from the US to Canada, either on the US side, the Canadian side, or both?

Are there different tax implications if I move the investments as stock-in-kind, vs cashing them out in the US and moving cash?

Thanks

Q: Greetings 5i Team:

If you had to choose one of these companies to add new money to without regard to anything but expected growth over a 3-5 year time frame which would you choose and if you could please provide a brief rationale?

Thank you

Q: Gentlemen,
If I want to buy puts to protect $1.5 million in S&P500 Index fund against a 10% decline in the market in the next 6 months how many SPY options do I need and how much do I have to fork out. Does it matter where your broker is? That is do the options listed on TD have the same price as those listed on Scotia.

Let’s say the expiration date is September 15, 2017.

I appreciate it if you detail the math and where you are getting your price from.

Thank you for taking the time to teach me and my fellow 5I members regularly.

Q: I've held Cynosure (CYNO) for a few years and it recently received an all cash offer for $66 a share; however, now some law firm has come out questioning "whether the Company’s Board of Directors failed to satisfy their duties to shareholders, including whether the Board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the Board obtained the best price possible for the Company’s shares of common stock."
The stock went has high as $66.65 on the news but is currently hovering just above $66.
In these types of situations does this often result in a higher offer? I am tempted to hold and see what happens if there is essentially no risk but I would also like to sell now to get the cash. What would you do?

Q: Hi 5i

I think the idea of Intertain listing on the London exchange was to unlock shareholder value. Is that because their customers are predominantly found in Europe or the retail market more open to this type of business ? I don't think it has made much difference yet - I'm trying to determine the catalysts here.

Thanks again
Mike

Q: Electra Stone ELT.V.... This a Jade stock. This mineral is currently in vogue internationally and starting to get traction, esp in China. British Columbia seems to have huge accessible deposits and a market is starting to develop for sheets and slabs of this beautiful classic green stone. It's early yet, but can you please check your info sources and give a cursory outlook for this barely there, @ .015 cent penny stock.
I would just like to add that your research and comments are one of the legs of my investment potential tripod . Thank you
