Q: Here's a pure speculative question. I hold NTR and NNRG. Their short term future prospects are, of course, partially tied to the middle east war.

I know it is tough to compare a single stock to an ETF, but what kind of upside do you see each having over the next year or so? I plan on trimming one or both to fund adding to another asset class at some point.

Thanks.....Steve

Q: I am looking at CWH as a beaten-down small cap play. The earnings potential in good times is significant, and the company is paying down debt. It is by far the largest retailer in the RV space. The fears about oil prices and the recent dividend cut to focus on debt repayment seem to have have caused the stock to be oversold. Do you think this could be attractive ? Are there other beaten down US small caps that you would prefer ?

Q: I hold 2 bond funds in my RSP, ZAG and BND. Both bought last summer after a GIC matured and I didn't want to lock in funds again at that time. Both ETFs are slightly under water on the stock price, and getting worse. Interest payments don't do much more than make me even. With a low yield (esp. ZAG), market movements can be a killer and has me thinking a money market type fund might have been better, despite lower yields still. I know you seem to think rates will be coming down - which I assume will be a plus - but the market seems to be pointing the other way. Questions:
1) would you continue to hold these funds
2) do these complement each other, which was my thinking
3) do you see either of these funds changing their monthly payments
4) are there better alternatives
Thank-you

Q: Started my daughters TFSA with quality stocks (BN, TD, SLF, CNQ, TOU, ZEM, VIU, VBAL, CP, BEP, GOOG, ATD.B, WPM) and wanted it to be positive first experience with investing. It has done okay but now everyday it declines a little more. I know it can soon go negative. What is the best way to handle this if for long-term savings say 5 years out. I know she will hate to start losing money, and I know the right thing to do is hold. In times of instability does the market eventually stabilize. I guess no one can predict. Thanks for your wisdom.
