Q: Hi

Is my thinking correct?

Based on the above, next year the Government will be being paying more in OAS and in some cases GIS (the Old Age Pension supplement for low income seniors).

In fact some people who are having their OAS clawed back as of July 2022 based on their 2021 income, can apply to have there OAS recalculated for the period July 2022 to June 2023 should they expect lower income in 2022.

Thank you for your time

Thank you

Mike

Q: In your experience, do Canadian bank-owned online brokers such as RBC-DI or iTRADE allow individual investors to buy US T-Bills for registered OR non-registered investments accounts. If yes, how does one find the symbols for 3 month, and 2 years T-bills? If you have the symbols, please tell us, as brokers seem reluctant to.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I have owned APP's for 1.5 years and am down significantly (70%). I know you have been generally optimistic about its fundamentals but I guess I need some reassurance in these turbulent times.

Do you still find their fundamentals and growth prospects compelling? And if you so could you explain what makes it an attractive HOLD or BUY. Respecting there is no crystal ball do you feel that in 12 months things will look rosier for the stock?

Many thanks to you all for your steady hand in such rough market conditions!

Q: Hello 5i,
Even with the great financial position it is in with almost 4 billion and little debt, is it time to let ZIM go or hang in for the long haul? All the signs that scream "SELL: are not there, no change in direction, no change in administration, no cut in dividend, in fact even a share buyback scheme is in place. So is it a keeper and just hang in or get out and absorb the losses?
