The question is; how does one buy and sell on these smaller exchanges, how does the currency aspects work and what are the tax implications etc?

Q: I was thinking of buying these three stocks for my wife's portfolio (non-registered) - each would be a small position vs the overall size of her portfolio & represent diversification from the big blue chips she owns that pay & increase dividends on a regular basis. As well, they represent industries she currently is not in. All rated a B - so, wonder about risk? Long -term holds.

Q: I've held IGM on DRIP for 25 years (in an RRSP). It comprises 15% of my total market value across all accounts. I also hold CIX and the two comprise 16.6% of my portfolio of 35 stocks. Since IGM's price has firmed up recently with upswing in the market, I'm wondering if now might be the time to trim my exposure a bit. I like the IGM dividend and don't know what I'd replace it with. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Q: I saw a report today that the Republican GOP is planning to introduce a bill to reform (lower) US corporate taxes that includes a so called "border tax" on all imports. Some talking heads have commented that if it becomes law as currently written the US dollar will see a big increase (as much as 25%). Have you heard about this and do you have any comments? Is it time to overweight US holdings to hedge against a currency increase?

Q: Hello 5i team,
I own a full position of CHE since 2012 and my total return of over 10% compound annual is mostly yield. As of recently, I also own half a position in MX. The other player in the field is SPB which I do not own.
(1) If you had to select only one, would it be MX?
(2) Is there a case to be made owning a position in all 3?
Thanks,
Antoine
