Q: Hi,

If I own CLS (1/2 position) and MU (1/2 position) already, would there be too much duplication to take out a 1/3 position in VNP as well?

Thanks very much, Michael

Q: I hold a fairly large holding in 4 Brookfield entities and am looking at selling Bam to add more to my Bip.un in order to adjust my holdings. Would you favor this move for a 3 to 5 year hold and what might your reasoning be for and against? Thanx.

Q: We bought it in Oct/2025 and sold in Dec/2025 for a big loss, and claimed capital loss on 2025 tax.
We rebought in Feb/2026. I was considering harvesting some profits but am cautious about CRA interpretation.
I wonder if CRA consider this a speculative stock and this, as well as the recent activity, might trigger something?
I realize you are not in the tax business and are not lawyers so any views or experience would be taken in that light.
Thanks for all your guidance

Q: One of the members mentioned feeling bad that he had missed the boat on the rising tide. I am also in that boat. I had planned to buy something but kept putting it off. That being said, are there still some bargains around? I am thinking of the usually favoured stocks such as Shop, Google, CSU etc.
Thanks for the greatest service

Q: Ontario government fast-tracking re the Kinross Great Bear project at Red Lake was announced with fanfare in February. Apparently this major project should now start producing in 2029. Are there project development points that I should pay attention to re investing in Kinross, or maybe just do annual buys (subject to no bad news)?

Q: Good morning, I am looking to invest about $60,000 for about 7 years that will be put towards a child’s down payment. Can you suggest some stocks and/or ETF’s that you would consider as a starting point. Happy to include a mix of Canadian/US names. Also would you suggest DCA in over the next few months or invest all at once in today’s environment. Thanks!

Q: Question for a 30-year-old starting an RRSP with a growth-oriented focus. He has little interest in managing a portfolio, so the intent is a simple portfolio that is on autopilot (using automatic monthly DCA) with a yearly review.

The idea is to use XEQT. Does it make sense to add XUS or VFV to XEQT to add more US exposure to potentially improve returns over such a long period of time? Say DCA 75% XEQT and 25% XUS?

Would there be a better ETF to pair up with?

Much appreciated.

Q: I hold POW in my $CDN account. Long term performance has been lacklustre.
A recent report informs me that over 80% of POW's net asset value is in GWO and IGM. Seems POW's European holdings are the main cause of performance issues. Considering selling POW and putting proceeds directly into GWO and IGM. Your opinion and forward-looking comments on this idea please.

Cheers,
IslandJohn
