Q: I’ve held BAD since it’s .un days so done well with it over the long term, and was fortunate to be able to add to my position last March taking it to 3.5% in a well diversified RRSP. I’m looking for some decent growth out of it, however, and I’m not sure this one has that over the next couple of years unless oil activity fires up again in NA (fat chance). Does BAD have potential to benefit from from all the recovery infrastructure spending and is that a catalyst worth holding/adding to BAD?

Thanks

Q: I transferred TFSA $25,000 Canadian to my US TFSA which I had never used. I received about $19,000 US. In my Canadian activity account it says transferred out $25,000. Do you know if we can transfer in and out between accounts as many times as we want and it is not considered
a withdrawal. You can’t get through to the CRA
ever so I am wondering if your team knows the answer. Thank you.

Q: 3 questions regarding gold:
(1) I currently hold XGD for the long term, with a dividend of about 0.68%. Would I be better to hold 2-3 really good gold mining stocks, in a non-reg acct, like KL (div 1.99%; no debt) and AEM (div 1.97%). Or with this long-term investment, stay diversified with XGD? I care more about stability, value and some growth, not the dividend.
(2) Should I also hold some physical gold in an ETF like PHYS? If so, what percentage of gold holdings would you have in gold producers vs physical gold?
(3) A friend of mine holds some physical gold at home. Comments on this appreciated.
Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i,
Knowing very little about the machinations of the gold market..I bought into WDO back in Aug 2020 close to YTD highs. Currently down close to 40%.

I have read your previous Jan 25 response so realize you see no reason to change course despite the current negative sentiment and analysts downgrades.

My questions is in what time frame and under what conditions would you expect WDO to make a recovery to previous levels or at least reverse current trend? 1 year , 2 years ect..... your best guess is appreciated.;)

Thx
Jim

Q: Thanks 5I team for all the insights. It is very helpful. I am planning to sell Sherritt and American Hotels with a big loss in my RESP portfolio rather than wait for any potential recovery, if any. Is that a good plan? Looking to replace it with a good growth stock. The time horizon is 5 to 6 years. I am fine with taking the risk and being aggressive. It will be about 3.5% of the RESP portfolio. Can you please suggest such a good growth stock with that time Horizon? I have no sector or country preference for this.
