Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: These three companies are a part of balanced equity model portfolio as of last report. All three are down somewhere in the range of 15-20% since April 30. Do you still like/recommend them (i.e. are they still a "buy") or there is a change in your views and you are going to dump them and replace in BE portfolio?

Q: There has been some really good traction over the last month and with their recent announcement stating that by the end of June, they will release a new Syscoin Protocol which will provide its network with one of the highest throughput rates of a public blockchain protocol. I would like your thoughts on this recent announcement and whether its a good time to buy this stock.

Q: Wow, oil stocks are taking a whollop today, is this slide justified? Or, do you think this is a good day to jump into oil for a short term hold. I bought these stocks in December and sold in April for a 15% gain, and might consider again. Or, does it look like this downward trend is going to continue.

Q: With all signs pointing to a long US/China trade spat, what sectors do you see holding their own. I would expect that Tech and Consumer Products will be hurt the most. Your comments would be appreciated.

Q: Two sectors I generally avoid like the plague are the auto sector and the airline sector. The former because it is cyclical and the latter because pretty much every one of them has gone broke at some time in their history... But a story came to my attention the other day...Vancouver took delivery of two Nova Buses. On having a little look at the company I found that Toronto has 55 of them and they have a growing presence in North America. As they have the power of Volvo behind them I can see some competition for NFI here. Cities going green would far rather not have the maintenance and eyesore of overhead power lines. I know Nova Bus is a small section of Volvo but when I looked at the parent company I saw a juicy 7.5% yield. Looking at the price history I see a range of $11 to $20 in the past three years slowly trending down since it's $20 high, What does 5I think of Volvo both from a growth point of view and relative to it's peers in the auto industry ? It is late in the auto cycle so I am hesitant here in spite of the juicy dividend.....Thanks for your great service....

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan
Last couple weeks read good information on Q&A section on moving money to US account using DLR/DLR.U. Out of curiosity what happens if I call TD rep and ask him to convert my existing 100 Canadian NTR shares to US NTR shares in RRSP account? I am assuming I will still have 100 NTR shares under US trading account with NYSE listed price at the time of transaction. This way I can keep my US dividends without any transaction cost. If this is the case i should be able to convert any stock which trades in both exchanges. Hope this is not a dumb question. Your expert advice please.
Thanks
