Q: Hi! If you listen to Larry Summers from Harvard on Wall Street Week he speaks of stagflation, Fed not raising rates quick enough, and difficulty with getting a soft landing. If you had to create a brand new portfolio today with a tilt towards income and could choose a combination of 16 stocks from either the US and Canada what stocks would you choose?

Q: How is GDP and its growth measured ; by $ amount or # of units ?
For example, if GDP growth is 3.1 % dollar growth but inflation is 5.1% is the economy not contracting?

Unit measurement seems to be the more accurate measurement.

Thanks. Derek

Q: I have significant tax losses on NFI and am considering selling to use those losses. On the other hand if we go into recession that should help with the supply issues NFI is facing and they have a large book of orders from government bodies who should be able to pay for their orders. Do you see NFI as overvalued at this time in which case I will sell or undervalued and I should hold on in case we enter recession? Thanks for your input.

Q: hello
If you were to build a mini pension with 5 or 6 uncorrelated Canadian stocks/REITS, what would they be? Are they all "buys" today or would you put some (which ones) on your "watch list"?
Thank you.

Q: I have a feeling the economy of Alberta is going to pick up considerably over the next few years and would like to invest in several sectors of their economy that could provide good capital gains to investors. I already have several oil and gas companies so I don't need guidance on that sector. If you know of other companies in different sectors that should benefit from a growing economy I would appreiate it if you could share some of them with me.
