Q: A family member would like to build a US dollar portfolio with US stocks. My thought would be to do it along the lines of the 5iR Cdn Balance Portfolio. For example, JPMorgan would be the US stock for the BNS. With this in mind, and being able to tolerate risk and for a long-term intention, like 10 years, what would you suggest the 15+ position US portfolio would look like?....Thanks...Tom

Q: I have owned ENB for many years. Many positives about the company and I have enjoyed the dividend.

But with on going pipeline concerns and the fact that the stock has is still below where it was 5 years ago, I am going to move on.

With Energy looking like a solid place to be right now, I am looking for something with more upside torque - without of course taking on excessive risk.

I already own OIH, XLE, KMI, EPD, BEP, CVX, and in Canada: WCP, ARX, and PKI.
Recognizing that the final decision is mine, is there one or two other energy companies (on either side of the border) that you would suggest or would you see adding to one of the above or adding a new ETF?

Thanks for your help here.

Q: Could you suggest five Canadian and five American companies that would benefit from inflation. Could you also suggest five Canadian in five American companies that would benefit from higher interest-rate. Thanks
