Q: I did last year forex trading and have $300. loss do I follow same TAX rule as stock.

If you are not aware of forex rule can you please guide me.

Are you aware of any membership site for TAXES that can give the same service as you do for stocks.

I want to join your ETF membership do I wait until my renewal so both will expire same time or I join now and will expire both at the same time.
Do you have estimated time when you will have portfolio setup for ETF and do you have to be an ETF member to have access to ETF portfolio

Thanks for your help.

Q: Hi,

In the energy realm I own full positions in ALA,TRP and PEY and would like to add an oil producer to compliment PEY. My ideal stock would be a long term hold with a decent sustainable dividend. I have looked at VET, SU, IMO and CNQ. SU and CNQ seem to be close to 2 yr highs while IMO is close to 2 yr lows and VET somewhere in the middle. Which of the group do you see as the best value for me. Feel free to suggest a company I haven't looked at.

Q: Sorry for asking another question about SYZ, but something doesn't smell right here. It appears that a couple executives bought some small amounts of stocks (aprox $250K) late last year, which for a light trading stock like this creates some excitement and pushes the stock higher and then late January the CEO and and officer sold $7.1 millions worth of stock, just before a bad quarter and the stock drops like a rock. While maybe legal, it doesn't feel right to say the least and I don't understand how the sale went through as it trades very lightly.

Do you have any concerns about management practices? Does it point to deeper problems at the company?

Thanks M

Q: I have small positions in zwb and zwc. Would you recommend consolidating into zwc as it has a position in most Canadian banks. Which would you prefer for a long term hold in an rrsp account for income and stability of yield? Thanx for your services.

Q: Hi,
I currently own 8 of Mawers Funds (MAW-102,104,105,108,120,130 & 150) to provide broad diversification to the individual stocks I own. I just noticed that they have a new Emerging Markets Fund MAW160. As this is a relatively new fund I know that information is limited on it but can you comment if you think this would be a suitable fund that would add further diversification to the funds I currently own and if I were to purchase it which account would it best suit i.e.- non-registered-TFSA-RRSP?
Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i,
If you had to choose between Enghouse and Open Text today which would you choose for growth over the next 2-3 years. I own a small amount of each and want to consolidate.
Thank you
