Q: I'm looking for recommendations on how best to invest USD 175k sitting in cash since last week. Though tempted by the US buying opportunities, I've been avoiding buying US shares directly due the hassles and costs of US tax exposure. I've only bought 50 shares of ZSP.U so far. Is this a good place to invest more? Can you recommend other good investment vehicles for a non-registered portfolio that will capture US growth/income without currency exchange or US tax?
Q: Your thoughts on the etf HFY at this time.

Q: Hello
I have a 17 months and a 6 yrs old. I did very well on my 6 yrs old RESP and now wondering if I should get a separate RESP for my 17 months or switch to a joint account. Any recommendations? Any benefits having a joint account assuming only one of the 2 would reach University for example? If all things equal I would prefer to manage a single but bigger portfolio.
Thank you!

Q: BYL has doubled in the last little bit. Do you still see enough upside in the business to cover the risk that it might just be a one time temporary surge and may fall back. Or in other words do you feel it’s business has more momentum left

I am thinking of purchasing the Mawer Tax Effective Balanced Fund (MAW 105) which comprises 30% Canadian Fixed Income; 2.5% Global Fixed income, 7% Cash, and 60% Equities (Canadian, US, and Global) and a ETF Bond Fund such as Ishares CBO. What percent of each would you suggest I purchase of each or should I just purchase MAW 105. She doesn’t need the money for spending. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks. Susan

Q: I can't add to my RIF, I can't put more than $5,500 in my TFSA annually, so my unregistered cash account is holding shares that will mean major capital gains. I have trimmed periodically, but currently ATD.B is up 1,068 %, SQ up 119%, NVDA up 324%, SHOP up 207%, BYD.UN up 118%. I am not complaining. I offer 5i my sincere thanks for your advice over several years that has been so rewarding. I tend to hold overly long , so I am wondering whether I should in future sell when a stock has reached, say 40%, and buy another stock? What to do?
Q: It is now clear that money laundering has been occurring at some of GC's casinos in BC. In particular at the River Rock casino. The Director of VIP Guest Relations has had her registration revoked by the BC Lottery Corp. GC is being investigated by the RCMP and it appears that GC could suffer other financial penalties. Should this be a concern and should investors be cautious?

Q: I bought Black Diamond Group LTD a few years ago, hoping it would gain with a recovery in oil. I'm currently down 36%. I am getting paid to wait as there is a 9.71% yield. But, is it worth the wait? Should I sell and move on? Or do you think it's a name that's worth holding?
