Q: Good morning,
I have half a position in Savaria and am looking to make this a full position. My question is regarding the outlook of growth in 2017. They have indicated that 60% of their business is in US. In this new protectionist environment in US, do you have any concerns here?

Q: Hello 5i
My main question is similar to a previous one.
We have 2 RRSP, 2TFSA, 1 non-registered, 1 non-reg. corporate accounts. We are presently with a full service broker(approx. 140 positions), but will be transferring to a discount broker. We are now taking income, mostly from the corporate account.
1)Would you suggest treating them as one when we build our new portfolio?
2)Our intentions are to have 30-35 positions. Is there a point where spreading over too many different accounts can make the portfolio less effective?
Thank you in advance, Bill

Q: hello 5i:
I'm having a bit of trouble with the specifics of taxation on US dividends, on stocks held within a TFSA. I'll ask it in 2 parts. Perhaps the following example will put this one to bed. If we hold XYZ, a fictitious US company paying a $1 dividend (simplifying as much as possible), then a 15% witholding tax is applied. Correct so far. Now, are the remaining dividends ($0.85/share) taxed again, or are they free and clear?
Part 2: do the US dividends received from XYZ have to be declared in annual income tax reporting?
thanks for your help

Q: Could you advise outlook for the companies/sector. Thank you
Q: Would it be best to buy both of these stocks or you still prefer to just own CS? Do you think this sector still in play or has the money been made and better to move money in another sector? How high of a risk rating would you give these 2 stocks?
Thanks
Thanks
Q: OTC is MOST confusing:
1)Open Text Corporation (NASDAQ:OTEX) announced that its board has approved a 2-for-1 share split of the outstanding common shares of OpenText . The share split will be implemented by way of a share dividend.
PAYABLE Jan. 24; for shareholders of RECORD Jan. 9.
2) The detailed blurb then says:A due bill is an entitlement attached to listed securities undergoing a material corporation action, such as the Share Split. In this instance, anyone purchasing a Common Share during the period commencing at the opening of business two trading days prior to the Record Date (i.e., Thursday, January 5, 2017) and ending on the Payment Date (i.e., Tuesday, January 24, 2017), inclusive (the "due bill period"), will receive a payable right. Any trades that are executed during the due bill period will be flagged to ensure purchasers receive the entitlement to the additional Common Share issuable as a result of the Share Split.
Based on the above, should I buy Jan/5, 9 or 24? Does it even make any differenc?
Thanks, Austin

Q: You've referenced the relationship between SHOP and AMZN in recent questions, but haven't said anything specific about the relationship - could you tell me/us what the relationship is? Is there a financial relationship between the two, or does SHOP help AMZN indirectly through better inventory management of sellers?
Also, I used to own Channel Advisor (ECOM) (which I think is in a similar business as SHOP). I sold ECOM at a loss and am wondering how the two differ, and why SHOP is the better preformer, if you are aware?
