Q: This morning Phillip's question and your response convinced me that my portfolio should include minimum rate reset preferred shares. I would appreciate it if you would provide me with your recommendation for 3 or 4 low risk preferreds.
Q: In regards to my vote for Alaris converting to an income trust amoungst other matters. In your opinion, what would be in the share holders best interest. I hold my shares in an unregistered account. Could move them in kind to a tfsa or rsp account though.
Q: In your answer to Kevin's question regarding assets Aug. 4 you state that Dollarama "Does not have many hard, physical assets." and go on to say that it leases stores. Your website 'Company Profile' would appear to disagree. "All the stores are owned and operated by the company." Would the profile be out-of-date? I am interested in the company too. Thanks
Q: Please let me have your opinion on the consequences for ATD stock of the announcement that Marathon's Speedway chain has been bought by 7-Eleven rather than ATD. It seems to have been drifting lower for the last few sessions.
Q: Can you provide me with the sectors that 5i would put these stocks in. In your Growth portfolio you have SHOP in IT, but I was thinking it is more Consumer Disc, the same as AMZN.
Q: I have over 1000 shares of BEP:US in my RIF. I am planning to convert the shares to BEPC:CA and take some shares out next year as part of my RIF annual withdrawal. You have predicted that BEPC shares should do better than the BEP:US shares and so far you prediction seems to be correct. (Yes it is early days). I am thinking of selling the BEP:US maybe in a week or two, thinking the demand from Canadian investors will have slackened by then. Am I being foolish trying to time the market?
Thanks,
Jim
Q: Watched Jeffery Gundlach being interviewed by Daniel Martino Booth, his credentials are very impressive, I have always liked to listen to his view of the Worlds Financial System.
According to him the Fed will take drastic measures in Drastic times. example being they have already done so by violating the Federal Reserve Act, with their purchases of Corporate Bonds, Stock purchases will probably come next.
I was confused by his biggest fear that the FED might declare their Liabilities as " Legal Tender"...... could you explain what he means by that Statement. I assumed that their Liabilities where already Legal Tender in the fact that their liabilities are backed by the Tax Payers of America, or did he simply mean he is fearful of the Fed just printing 7 trillion and wiping away all the debt.
thanks Gord
Q: I am considering setting up a 2 etf portfolio for my elderly parents, the plan includes a 60 bond/40 equity etf in a non registered account and was thinking a 50/50 in the TFSA, I realize that is a perhaps alot of eequity exposure but they have more than enough income to live off and will likely never acess these funds. Thoughts on the plan and ETF ideas please. The combined portfolios would be in the $500000 range so I have to be mindful of foreign ownership rules, any other rules I should watch for?
Q: Hi,
Would it change your opinion on this company knowing they've aquired OpenNMS recently? Or does this acquisition just mire them in too much debt? I ask because I've noticed a technical improvement in their relative strength vs DJUS software index and the S&P 500. Thanks for all your hard work on our behalf!

Q: I have two questions for you:
1. I currently own TGZ and looking to add another small/mid cap gold play. I've zeroed in on EQX and WDO. Which do you prefer or is there another name you prefer.
2. WELL or DOC.....which do you prefer and why?
Q: I have held the Mackenzie Global Resources for a long time but have certainly questioned it's performance and the MER at 2.48%. Would there be select ETFs that would provide equivalent global coverage?
Thanks.
