Q: Hello, today (Nov 20, 2024), SLS is moving up strongly on news that the final steps to complete emigration by year-end is on track, It appears they are shutting down their Canadian office and moving to Switzerland. Is this the reason for the large move? It does not seem to be related to copper as CS and TECK are essentially unchanged. Why would this type of move cause such a move? Perhaps there is another reason. Thanks.

Q: I am nearing retirement and planning to rebalance my taxable portfolio towards Canadian dividend stocks and ETFs, so that I can live off CPP and eligible dividends in retirement. What are your favorite Canadian ETFs where all distributions are treated as eligible dividends? You recommended CDZ many times, is it still your favorite?

Q: This is a follow-up question to one I asked a few days ago regarding increasing Int’l exposure to my TFSA. Would the structure of the Global X Corporate class ETFs, eg. HXDM, HXS, HXEM, eliminate the drag of withholding taxes on the portfolio?

Q: Hello 5i!

I have some cash to deploy and am light on industrials. I’m looking for US companies that are growth oriented and I was thinking about ROAD as an option. Could you give me a summary of why you like this company? (Or don’t like it?)

And are there any other industrials that you would prefer over ROAD for growth over the next 2-3 years?

Thanks for your incredible service!

Q: 5i is alway saying that they prefer an unhedged stock over a hedged stock. If you want to buy a US unhedged stock, but you don’t have any US cash, is it better to buy the stock in US$ or Canadian $. Please make the assumption that you are going to hold the stock for a long time and you believe the Canadian $ will come back at some point. Thanks for your help.
