Q: Good morning,

I recently became aware that SOBO's dividends can be paid in US$.

Q1. Do you consider it a good idea to journal SOBO.CA holdings in a CDN$ Non Registered account to a US$ Non Registered account so that US$ can be generated in a similar manner as journaling BN shares from my CND$ Non Registered account to my US$ Non Registered account for the purpose of generating US$.

Q2. Do you see any negative aspect or tax implication with this strategy?

Thank you for your thoughts on this and I'll await your response.

Francesco

Q: BN got a nice bump today, about 2.6%, and the only news I could find was about their sale of some Transalta shares. Is that the reason for the jump in the share price? Do you know how much profit BN made on the sale of those shares? Do you have an idea what they plan to do with the funds? Or is there some other reason the stock jumped?

Q: Hi 5i

Please as many questions as needed.

I am heavily invested in stocks and want to raise cash, putting more money into bonds. I have about 10% in Canadian oil and gas, 5% gold stocks, and about 13% in uranium stocks. I am going to hold my gold and uranium.

What allocation would you suggest for a retiree in terms of portfolio holdings of gas and oil?

I am concerned about the possible coming tarriffs and the effect on the Canadian ecomomy. Most of my holdings are Canadian. A lot of these are in dividend stocks. I have held them through the past few years but I do need to increase the allocation to conservative investments. I plan to reduce most by about 20% or consider outright sells. I currently prefer to reduce downside risk than worry about the upside.

Can you help me decide from the viewpoint of possible tarriffs and effect on the Canadian economy which are at risk the most. Could you class these as hold, reduce or sell. I will hold all my U.S. stocks which are about 15% of my portfolio and haven't listed those here.

Thank you for your very helpful advice.

Q: Hi Team,
I hold the following stocks in my TFSA with the indicating weightings within the TFSA. BN (17.5%), HPS.A (6.4%), LMN (18.6%), META (26.3%), SHOP (13.9%), TTD (16.9%). I am looking for advice for what stock I should add for my 2025 contribution. Could I please have your 3 "best" ideas to add to my TFSA ranked in order. I am looking for something solid with high potential (multi bagger potential) with solid management. Another NVDA would be nice (not asking to much here..lol). Time frame would be 10yrs plus ( I am 45 aiming for the dream of freedom 55).

Thanks,
Shane.
