Q: Looking at the insider trading of Enbridge Directors, I noted that the number of shares held by the Directors in May 2024 was over 900,000. The corresponding number of shares held by Directors on February 20, 2025 dropped to about 210,000.
Can you please comment with respect to inside trading at this company ? Is the drop in the number of shares held by the directors an issue ?
Thanks

Q: I would like to create a portfolio (10 years and more) for a non-profit organization. The return objective is 5% or more. The amount to be invested is $40,000. Is it possible to achieve this objective with ETFs? Which ETFs should I buy for this account?
Or should I pick a few names from your Balance Equity portfolio?

Q: I asked this earlier but perhaps it fell between the cracks. Between PPL and ENB, which would you buy today for a 2 -3 year hold?
Q: I own TOU and TPZ and like them both for long term holds. TOU was recently added to the 5i income portfolio. Why go with TOU as apposed to TPZ, which is more of an income structured investment. Do you feel that TOU will offer a better total long term return both with respect to their dividend and capital appreciation?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Q: Huge and unexpected drop in stock price today that may be related too a decrease in the dividend.
For those who hold POU in a TFSA, do you see today's stock price huge drop as a buying opportunity or is the stock expected to be in the dog house for quite some time.
Thank you and I'll await your response.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
With the intent of better opportunities elsewhere, would YOU be a seller of BCE held in a registered account? (A significant loss, given the time we've held BCE)
Or, would YOU consider it a hold?
If a seller, would YOU add to our current holdings in Telus?
Or would YOU not stay in the sector for the time being due to all the headwinds it’s experiencing?
Thanks for your help.

Q: They say bond people are smarter than the stock market. Where would "shorts" get rated. Better, worse, leading, lagging etc. How much is too much, if any. e.g. Pembina Pipeline (PPL)

Q: Can I ask for an updated view of KPT.
Q: Could you please comment on Fairfax Financial Quarterly/FY earnings released today.
We own Intact Financial, but are looking to add another P&C Insurance Co. ( which also is in asset management business - we already have Brookfield Corp. }
Fairfax seems to be executing very well and stock performance supports this thesis.
Company is also buying back its stock, aggressively.
How do you assess and rate this Co. , on valuation, debt, risk and consistency of Growth over long period of time ?
Would you be comfortable to start a new position or add at current levels ?
Thank You

Q: Could u rank these co. from most prefer (10) - in terms of dividend + growth - to least prefer (1) in the next 12-24 months ? Would an ETF in this sector do just as good?
Q: At 62, I purchased MFC as a fairly stable income stock with some growth. Its growth over the past year has surprised me and I have substantial unrealized gains in an unregistered account. Which is all to the good, but the stock has been trending fairly steadily down the last three months. Did it get too expensive or is this sector-related? I note SLF has also done nothing good the last three months. Do you see further downward momentum (especially if inflation worries come back) or a return to stability for MFC? If the former, would you advise a trade to a more stable company/sector and if so which?
