Q: Hi 5i,
I can't tell if Tou missed numbers or not on their earnings (top and bottom lines)? Also, assuming my numbers are accurate, the annual payout for tourmailne seems to be in a downward trend:

year Annual payout
2021 1.42
2022 7.90
2023 6.55
2024 3.32
2025 3.30
while the base rate has increased, the special dividends have only gone down since 2022.
Has their financial picture increased since 2022?
Tia!

Q: Hello,
When does it make sense to borrow from a line of credit for non-reg assets vs contributing after-tax cash to an RRSP?

I don’t want my taxable income in retirement to be any higher than it is projected to be.
I also have access to a line of credit right now.

You mentioned recently:
“ Typically investors look for more stable and reliable dividend-payers in a non-registered account….. …we like BNS, TD, ENB, FTS, CNR, SLF, BAM, CSU, AEM.

So, if I want to minimize my taxable income in retirement, when does it make sense to borrow to invest in those dividend-paying tax-favoured stocks?

I believe the short answer is “when the after-tax cost of capital is less than the expected after-tax return”. Correct?
If so, why doesn’t anyone with some borrowing capacity borrow to invest in my situation? (Risk-aversion?)
Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team,

Peter, a great article in today's Financial Post.

So far today, there's a sell-off in just about everything. Where is all this money going? Are there any free sites that can give some insight?

Thanks as always.
