Q: Hello what company would you invest in, minto or tricon?

Q: I could use your guidance. A good friend has recently inherited $800,000. He and his wife are in their 60's, retired with a small pension. They are conservative people who have no investing experience and would like to invest the funds in "safe", dividend paying stocks/ETF's to augment their pension. They currently have no money in the market, with all their net worth (excluding the pension) in real estate. They have reached out to investment advisors who want to charge them a flat 2% to invest their funds and have asked me if this is reasonable. They need these funds to live off and the thought of paying someone $16,000/yr to invest the funds seems ridiculous to me. I would like to help them and was hoping you could suggest a balanced income generating portfolio.........perhaps a mix of a few blue chip stocks and ETF's.
Many Thanks
Scott

Q: Down a lot on TSGI and saw in your email blast and that you dropped TSGI from one of your portfolios, but I've not sold yet as I wanted to ask a couple of a questions about their recent earnings report. For the 3 months ending June/19, adjusted earnings were $0.48/share. (1) What was the expectation for earnings? (2) Is this earning miss that bad given that revenues and the number of shares outstanding has increased by over 50%? Thank you as always for your great work and responses.

Q: Can we have your thoughts about this gold stock generally, and what you think of the sinking August price - even in the face of decent gold pricing buoying a lot of other juniors?
