Q: Full disclosure, I sold all my INP when I learned Saskatchewan was dry and the canola price was rising. All commentators say yeah good buy. I questioned, I maybe wrong as I often am,- but I try to take cover if I am not sure, if there is a light crop INP may have to take it's share of the crop in 2017 as it had to take last year's share this year. The reason the canola price goes up is lack of crop - Input does not get paid till it sells is oil seed.

Q: We are retired seniors. We have five different accounts: two RRIFs, two TFSAs, and a joint regular non-registered account. What would be a recommended number of different company shares to hold in any one of these accounts? And, if the same company shares are owned in two or more accounts, would that count as two, or one, company share(s)?

Q: Good afternoon, I would appreciate your comments on our exposure to reits and utilities/infrastructure holdings in view of today's bank rate cut and the anticipated opposite U.S. rate increases. I am 71 and we rely on our investments for almost half our income. Currently fixed income + cash represents 44% of our investments while reits and utilities each 5%. I note in the Model portfolio utilities is 2.3% with no reits and the income portfolio 15% utilities & 6.5% reits.
It seems to me that the canadian bank rate will go up eventually but I've been wrong for years.
Currently our utilities/infrastructure holdings are BIP.UN, PPL, VSN, VNR, BEP.UN & CPX. Which would you recommend trimming, if at all.
You're general comments on our current allocation would also be welcome.
Thanks as always!

Q: Amaya seems to be at its range ceiling. I'm thinking of selling for a 17% profit and buying Csu. Thoughts?

Q: I understand that Fission investors think that Denison's offer (1.26 DML shares 1 for FCU share) is mingy, but why are both companies' share prices declining? That is, shouldn't Denison be perceived as the smart operator, getting superior assets for cheap? (I'm guessing that Fission's poor price reflects market pessimism as concerns competing offers.)

Q: The ceo has been talking about a possible complementary acquisition to help fund their growth. What public company do you think could be of interest to them or would they look at a private company? Are cvd and mda and bos in the same space? I own Heroux and was wondering if Airbos of America is in the same space. Thanks.

Q: Hi
2 stocks - same problem . I have held full positions in Potash and Precision Drilling for over a decade . I get a decent dividend but I am ridiculously under water on both stocks ( although Potash has come back a bit ) .

Both are in my taxable account so at least I can record the huge loss on my taxes ... Maybe I should by Ag Growth and replace these two . Thoughts ? / Thanks
