Q: My son who is 42 is opening a TFSA. He is getting a late start at investing as he has been emloyed overseas for most of his working life. He has asked me to help him. I am wondering if ETF's would be the best way to start. If so what would you suggest for seomeone his age. Also if he started with equities what would you suggest as well?

Q: Trying to reduce the number of stocks I hold. Currently I am broadly diversified across sectors and large cap/small cap, growth/dividend payers, so those are not concerns. I look at total return, and have a long term horizon, 5+ years. Comfortable with risky stocks. I have smallish positions in these 12 stocks and would like to sell maybe 6 to 8 of them, and redeploy the money into a few of the others on the list or into some of my other holdings. Would you select 6 - 8 of the above that you think are less likely to perform well over 5+ years, and could be sold, and maybe 2 - 4 that could be added to. Thank you.

Q: Hello,
I own KL. Gold is up 25% (1 year return) while KL is down almost 10% (1 year return). YTD, KL is down 2.5%. The quarterly results looked fine, they pay a dividend, been buying back shares but there has been relentless selling within the last 3 months from a stock price of over $76 down to now about $55 and change. In addition, its has breached its 200MA from a technical standpoint which does not bode well either.
Would you consider KL a buy at the current level and why do you think the stock has taken such a beating even though Gold seems to be holding up well.
Thanks,

Q: Hi there, I caught the BUS, but it looks like I'm on the express, anything you folks can shed light on for today's stock action?

Did they release any information during their virtual CUTA (Canadian Urban Transit Association) presentation today to ride their shares up?

Also, they stated the following today;
"Management looks forward to the review of third quarter financials, updates on the current delivery of 90+ Vicinity buses into the U.S., and a discussion of the new Vicinity LT electric vehicle. Specifications and detailed overview for the EV will be announced before market open on Tuesday"

3Q results are to be released Monday Nov 23 after market close.

Are investors looking forward, and reading more into their statement quoted above?

Have you heard any rumors floating around out there regarding Grand West, after today's presentation or release?

Thanks!

Q: Hello Peter, it's been a couple of months since you addressed a question on this company. Can I please have your current assessment? Also, as the yield is very nice, if one has a moderately high risk tolerance and no need for the cash in the next few years, would you consider it worth holding, or would you move on to something else.
