Q: Let's say a conservative investor (i) wants to invest US dollars in US ETFs, (ii) wants principal protection above all, for example by investing primarily in BIL.
If this investor wants to move a little bit up the risk ladder with a view to getting more yield, by adding one or two other conservative ETFs (while continuing to hold BIL as the primary holding): what would you suggest?
Q: 80 year young value investor. I held EMA for many yers until it started going downin 2022. Now it seems to be back to where it was before it dropped. Time to get into it now for the dividend?
Q: Good afternoon Troops. 65y/o retiree looking to reduce my holdings and consolidate into an easier to manage portfolio. I have chosen six ETFs to give me some international and US exposure, some using covered calls for income. For the Canadian side of my portfolio I have chosen these ten stocks that would be my core holdings going forward. Can you please comment on this strategy and if these stocks are suitable for my situation. Cheers.
Q: I have owned BCE & T for a very long time. Even with BCE dividend cut I am up a lot (including dividends paid). T is in the doldrums and share price is stagnant. Should I sell these two and buy CGO: low payout ration ROE of 10% but a ton on debt. CGO up a lot this year! Or, sell T and BCE and not buy CGO. I am 77 YO. T & BCE are a small % of total portfolio.
Q: I own Canadian Utilities and Atco Class 1 shares and they have appreciated nicely over time. How would you rate their prospects for growth in share price for the next 5 years?
With today's economic climate with the US, and the Canadian government's stated intention to push for big Canadian infrastructure projects, would one of these companies be a stronger bet?
Do you see the current dividend level as being safe for both companies going forward?
And, is there a good reason to own both of these stocks, given that CU is a sub of Atco?
Q: Eighty year old income investor. I am down a little ($2500) on T:ca. Based on your thoughts about these companies in questions today: Should I sell T:CA and buy more QBR.B:CA which I also own and is up for me by ($1500) or hold everything and let T:CA eventually go up? I do not need the funds immediately. I enjoy the dividend of T:CA.
Q: I value David Rosenberg's opinion that; "Shiller P/E, length of bull run and standard deviation measures are red flags that signal a big shift is imminent." Capital appreciation is important to me, with modest income. Suggest some investments, please.
Q: Good Day, in an earlier question you indicated that the above 5 companies could be acquired for dividend income. What entry price would you recommend?
Thank you.
Q: If--for diversification purposes, not to mention buying into an unloved investment space--which one of the 4 major Canadian telecom companies (BCE, Quebecor, Rogers, Telus)-- would you be most interested in owning long-term, for >10-year hold? Could you rank them from #1 (top choice) thru #4, and provide a rationale for your ranking?

Q: Now that the dust has cleared a bit after the big drop in Northland Power is there any further information regarding the drop? Do you see anything in the next couple of years that would help it to recover?
Q: First of all. thanks for your timely advice and guidance in these crazy times!!!
Do you feel POW is a good conservative play in a RRIF rather than BN, if one is concerned about safety in a portfolio and with BN's price drop lately
or do you think BN is still a good stock to hold for the long term?
Q: Hi Team
I currently hold both ENB and FTS and I'm looking to add to one of them. Which one would you add to at this time, it will be for a long term hold (5+ years)
