Q: Hi Team,
At the time of this question PRL is up approx 6% and GSY 3%. Just wondering if there is anything sector related to account for the positive move today being that both these names are moving up together today? GSY is finally starting to build some steam...any comments? Perhaps share buybacks at GSY?

Thanks,
Shane.

Where do you see the share price and earnings going over the next few years?

Q: Hi,
With insurance claims due to climate change appearing to increase rapidly, what is your take on the prospects of Intact as a property and casualty insurer. My thought would be that property insurance is a shrinking market as insurers appear to abandon markets due to increase risk (e.g., Florida and California). Even locally insurers are starting to refuse to cover properties against flooding. What is the long-term business case for investing in IFC? Thank you. Michael

Q: I am interested in the divergence in performance between BN and its associated companies including BEP.UN. I own BEP.UN and BIP.UN both of which have a history of strongly outperforming BN. More recently they have fallen off while BN has fluorished. Can you comment and what would be your advice on switching some holdings into BN?
Thanks

Q: I have an enigma for you….
CALL.TO closed at C$4.13 today while CALL.U.TO closed at US$16.01.
If these are identical shares, both listed in Toronto, then the price difference should be the exchange rate - correct?
However, the equivalent USD shares are far more expensive than the CAD shares. This is the puzzle.
Could you explain this?
Which is the better buy, or would you not recommend either one?

Q: Hi there,
Thanks for your past assistance.
I've done well with PRL and I'm wondering if Upstart has the same kind of trajectory.
Do you like this stock short and long term?
If not, can you please recommend an alternative?
Thanks!

Q: Can I have your thoughts in putting some TFSA money into MKP, for a couple years, thinking it might be a place to invest while the world figures out where things are going. It pays good dividends, and lower interest rates, with increased construction, should provide some stability. Or, please suggest an alternative idea. Thank you
