Q: Hello 5i Team

Further to questions on parking cash, all the discount brokerages offer "High Interest Savings Account" mutual funds which are CDIC insured deposit accounts for the various subsidiaries of the bank.
Each of these is insured to $100k under CDIC, therefore you are able to segregate $400k under CDIC insurance in one brokerage account.
I am most familiar with RBC Direct Investing and TD Direct Investing, each offer 4 separate subsidiary companies with CDIC coverage. Other discount brokerages may only offer 1 option. A list is available on-line at:
https://www.finiki.org/wiki/High-interest_savings_account
The benefit of using these in your brokerage account are having cash available for other security purchases and the value is included for calculating available margin (loan value). The interest is paid monthly and can be reinvested automatically.
Thanks

Q: You commented on the good quarter but noted the only negative being lack of positive cashflow for the quarter. Would this not be expected for this type of company, with very large contracts, and high working capital requirements? The value proposition looks hard to ignore all things considered so I’m just trying to understand if this is actually something to worry about or not? Thanks

Q: This is regarding Douglas' question today about selling US listed stocks held in an TFSA. It is my understanding that any buy and sell in an TFSA account, Canadian or US listed, are not subject to tax, and has no bearing on next years's contribution room as long as there is no withdrawal. Please clarify. Thanks

Q: your opinion on earnings, i know you like this stock, would you add to it in here. dave

Q: Hi 5i team - Could you give me an update on some of the fundamentals for Brick Brewing. In particular P/E, level of debt if any, insider ownership and recent activity, cash on hand, anything else you would consider relevant. Would you classify this as a growth company and if so what are its prospects for growth. Thanks.

Q: What are your thoughts of this etf for a hold in an rrsp as a fixed income component?

Q: Hi There,

Can you please help me understand why CVD and CPD are in a declining trend over the last ten years? It seems like the yield can not cover the price drop. I want to add them to my portfolio but need help to understand what move its price.

Thank you for the great service!

Q: Regarding TFSAs and the withdrawal rule. (I have asked my broker and researched the CRA site, unsuccessfully).
If I transfer an inter-listed Canadian stock to the US registry, and then sell it, what is the contribution room in the following year? Is it the C$ equivalent of the sale, at the time of sale, or the C$ amount at the time of transfer, or the C$ equivalent of he sale proceeds at the time of re-investing? And what exchange rate would be used...…..bid, ask, or middle?

Q: Not a question..just a comment. Congratulations Peter on your BIG SWIM. You are a brave warrior to battle those waves to help kids. I look forward to donating to your next challenge as well. Kudos.

Q: At current levels which should we sell/keep ? They now total ~35% of overall equity holdings, and ~20% vs overall holdings inc cash. Thanks.
