Q: If I buy aCDN ETF that includes 4CDN ETF, but with american and international Cies included: There will be no US witholding taxes in my account,OK for this point,But do all those ETF included in this unique ETF pay
already witholding taxes on the foreign Cies included?

Q: What would be your general thoughts oil and gas stocks right now. They have obviously had a fantastic run and are very overbought on most technical charts. With any positive news out of Ukraine, would you expect a sharp pullback in oil prices and energy shares? I guess what I'm asking is would it be prudent to take some money off the table?

Q: If Ukraine and Russia reach a ceasefire say in the next ten days, how will the stocks in energy, gold, agriculture and financial sectors react to this new reality.? Specifically will they move fairly quickly, or with a different pace? What other sectors might be worthwhile to move into. Thanks for your valuable guidance. Please deduct as many credits as you deem fit for this broad question.

Q: I own both of these in a non registered account and looking to add to one of them. I rely on income from this account and have owned these for quite awhile.They are approaching or are at a year low. Ignoring portfolio weighting, would you purchase them now or wait for Ukraine to settle ?
Any specific or significant issues causing their decline. Which one first to add to ? Thanks

Q: HI!
In an income seeking portfolio, if one has a portfolio that is overweight financials, do you think it makes sense in the current environment to lighten up and add to pipelines and utilities due to the geopolitical events and risk of recession down the road. Thought in rate rising environment assets that benefit from rising rates were in favour but it seems telcos, utilities, and pipelines are moving more now. Obviously with price of oil, increase in pipelines is understandable and clearly yield curve is playing a role. What are your thoughts on whether increasing rates will eventually hurt utilities/pipelines. Thank you!

Q: Hello friends,

I was watching KRBN for a good price to start a small position and participate in the global trend of reducing pollution. However, I've noticed that in the past couple of weeks the price went down hard and fast.

I couldn't come up with a better explanation for this downward trend other than, perhaps, the fund is inversely correlated with the price of oil. Do yo have a better explanation/reason for this trend?

Many thanks!

Q: Hi 5i
What Game Plan would you consider executing for the following situations...........?
For all these stocks I have been holding off taking action as there has been no new information to support any action. Now given rapid price decline, I have become concerned about share restructuring and shareholders being diluted to death for the micro caps.
I will be waiting for earnings on the ones still to be released.
While you do not want to hear it, all these except XBC/LSPD were 5i induced purchases so some thoughts on possible action at this point would be appreciated.
None of these are causing me a problem except for being down.
As a Portfolio Manager, how best to manage these positions inside a broadly diversified Portfolio?
If they are to be kept, at some point I will have to either add to the tiny positions or get rid of them. But when and on what information?


TFSA Holdings (where the growth is supposed to be)
QST - down 40%. Size is now at half position size at this point.
XBC - down 38%. Size is now back to near full position size after riding the round trip.
STC - was up 25% and now down 20%, Half position size.

Taxable Account
AT - Down 19%. Sitting on half position since buying on Jan 12/22
ANRG - Down 37%. Sitting on less than half position since buying on Feb 2/22
LSPD - Down 64% on a poorly executed Options trade. Hold only 1/3 position.

And KXS which disgusts me as I knew I should have sold while I watched it at $229. Position size is full position.

Thanks
Dave

Q: Hi 5i team, I'm looking for suggestions on base metal miners. What are your favourite Canadian companies, particularly ones leaning towards copper. A pure copper play, maybe a small/mid-cap, suggestion would also be appreciated. Pete in Calgary.

Q: It seemed like the earnings report was positive, yet the stock fell 12%. Any idea why this reaction. I have been holding these for a long time and am still in a positive position, is it time to take the profits and move on?

Q: Hi Guys

I was really surprised by an answer to John Heinzl in the Globe and Mail in his March 5th column. The question was "I recently did an in-kind share transfer from my non-registered account to my tax-free savings account. This transfer was below the book value of the shares so I assumed it would be a capital loss, but I did not get a confirmation slip as a record. How do I record the loss"

The answer was "Sorry to be the bearer of bad news,but when you own shares with an unrealized loss and transfer them in-kind to a TFSA (or any other registered account) you cannote claim the loss for tax purposes. The CRA considers this a "superficial loss" because you still own the shares.

So my question is: if this is indeed the case then would this ruling also apply to shares that you had bought in a non-registered account at a certain price and were now transferring them at a higher prices than you bought them into a TFSA?

Or does CRA get you both ways?

Thanks

Stuart
