Q: hello 5i:
Regarding the tax treatment of dividends from a US preferred share, held in a TFSA: would there be a 15% withholding tax on the dividend, or is it exempt because its in a TFSA?
Also: if there were a capital gain on the preferred held in the TFSA, would that be exempt from the 15% withholding tax?
thanks

Q: Somehow I missed registering for the Moneyshow this past week. Am I able to access a recording of it.
Also, do the Webinars and Podcast headings show all previous recordings of video events, at least for the past year. Thanks.

Q: Good afternoon all;

I currently own LMN and KXS in equal sized positions in TFSA's. I consider these my higher growth oriented emerging technology investments. I've held LMN since $30 and traded in and out of KXS between $100 and $200 since 2019.

My question is whether future investment gains would be better served trading out of KXS (which has performed historically but become frustrating and seems a laggard recently) and into Topicus (which seems a bit opaque).

Thanks as always,

Dave

Q: Greetings 5i Team,
In what order would you introduce these companies to a TFSA? I am looking for growth with an eye on risk.
Is there any among these that you would prefer not to add at this time?

Thank you

Q: You discussed micro-lending by saying

"Micro lending is fine for those that want to provide some capital for a social impact. But we would be very cautious seeing it as an 'investment' altnerative."

I could not agree more and I have found a lot of satisfaction lending through KIVA at https://www.kiva.org/

Q: Do you expect selling pressure in the Canadian market over the next two months as investors 'rush to the exits' to realize capital gains prior to June 25th? Do you think that this selling pressure may have a material impact on the share price of those stocks that have realized large gains over the past couple of years?

Q: Hi, What is your current opinion on EQB ? Stock had a strong run, but if I remember correctly, their most recent results were not and encouraging and stock took a hit. Do you think, the issues with the last quarter were only temporary and EQB is buyable today for a new position at current levels ? EQB was recommended by at least a couple of brokerages, recently ( Including CIBC), as the Best Growth story among Canadian banks. Do you agree ?

Thank You
