Q: I've owned TD for over 30 years and am sitting on a large unrealized capital gain. I know this is a great "problem" to have but I resent paying up to 33% tax on any sale now that the feds have upped the tax inclusion rate to 2/3 from 1/2. I took all the risk but lose close to 1/3 of the reward.
Can you suggest any way to mitigate/reduce any tax hit if I were to dump my TD shares?
I hate to say it but I suspect that this issue will only increase (i.e. next step will be 75% inclusion) as the feds look to gouge people to cover their horrific fiscal ineptitude.

Q: Hi Peter & 5i staff

Thanks for answering my recent real estate sector question in which you suggested that Granite could help diversify my sector holdings.

According to a recent Globe and Mail article, would you agree that Granite "will experience tailwinds because it derives most of its revenue from US based assets"? The article focused on how to manage Trump 2.0.

Thanks as always for your timely responses.

Q: Hello Peter,

In the US, where would you go for the Santa rally? Would it be momentum stocks? Undervalued? Specific sectors -Industrials, AI related? or Crypto?
I am thinking crypto - the backers of the new govt. Add dollar tariffs to the mix. Crypto heads higher.
How would you play the Canadian market end of the year? I am going to dabble in short term trading this year.

Regards

Rajiv

Q: Hello team,
Can you help me understand please whether i should put new monies in TFSA towards bep.un or bepc ? On yahoo, i see bep.un has dividend of 5.87 percent but 1 year return of minus 2 percent where as bepc has dividend of 4.7 percent but one year return of 14 percent. From income and growth perspective, bepc seems to be better bet.. If this is the case, are investors losing out by investing in bep.un? i have huge loss in my rrsp from bep.un so would like to know where to put new monies as it seems brookfield would benefit from the energy transition. Alternatively, am i better off simply putting all my monies in BN and forget the spinoffs.. please explain and thank you ..
