Q: In my non-registered account I have tried to build a diversified portfolio of "set-and-forget" dividend-paying stocks. I do not need the dividends currently, all are being DRIPped.
Recognizing that I'd be giving up some dividend return, what are your thoughts on replacing BEP in the portfolio with BAM?
I already own AQN in the renewables space, and ACO.X & FTS in the utilities space.
Thanks you for your insight.

Q: I got into upstart about 5 weeks ago and it has since increased 78%. Is this a hot potato where I should take at least some (taxable) profits? It's pushing 6% of my equity. I guess my real question is given the tear this has been on, would you be more skittish and pull the take profits button here earlier than normal. Thanks.

Q: Hi,
I currently have these stocks in my TFSA CAD account. They are almost all equally weighted. Do you think there needs to be any adjustments?

I understand they are all growth stocks except ZSP. Is it a problem if I only have these growth stocks?

Thank you!

Q: Hi,

I have a small amount of funds available to invest inside my TFSA. I already hold a small position of TOI (26 shares) and really like the company. I'm looking to either: add to the TOI position, or start a new position in NVEI or ASAN. They all seem quite pricey with current valuations (with NVEI and ASAN rising sharply in the past few days). Based on current valuation, which do you prefer for a minimum 5-year hold. Risk tolerance high.

Thanks

Q: I watched the interview on BNN with Mr. Bedard this morning and a couple of things jumped out at me. This is a company that has so far produced 400 vehicles building a 900,000 sq. ft. plant that is capable of producing 20,000 vehicles a year and is the largest of it's type in the U.S. ..... Nobody does something like that without a good reason for it. That would be like British Properties making the Lions Gate bridge ten lanes because " Maybe we'll need them someday " .... And the CIBC analyst expectations of revenue of $92 million going to $454 million in one year ..... Sure can't see that on the basis of telling the salesmen to " Go out and see if you can flog these things " ..... My brain says there is a reason for the plant and the analysts expectations ..... Any idea what that might be ?

Q: Many of the Pot companies have been sliding for several months now. Do you think they are getting near a bottom for this sector? I'm looking specifically at CRON, WEED, & MSOS. What is your feeling on these stocks? Do you have a favorite in this field?

thanks,

Paul
