Q: Good afternoon,
I hold the following stocks in my business account that have a weight of between 6.2% and 8.3%. This account was started in DEC/16 and has increased by 6.7% YTD not including dividends. I want to add six more stocks to further diversify while reducing the percentage per equity down to between 4 and 5%.

My goal is to generate income equal to the amount of corporate tax payable annually. I looks like this can be achievable!

Let me know if I need to share dollar values to help access.


--

Thanks,
Raymond

Q: Hello,

Absolute seems very strong lately, particularly since their last quarterly report was a miss. Anything seem out of the ordinary?
Would you currently choose Abt or et for the tech income stock part of your portfolio?

Regards,

Robert

Q: What are you latest thoughts on TPK? I've avoided it for awhile but I see for the last 6 months or so it's trying to bottom technically - are they resolving their issues? The p/e is not onerous and the dividend is almost 4%. Thanks.

Q: I have small positions in High Arctic Energy Services and Trevali Mining as well as little idle cash in the TFSA. Which of the two would you recommend I add? Or is it better to get rid of one and have a full position in the other? If so, which one?
As always, appreciate your advice.

Q: During a serious market correction should a rebalancing happen?When the rebound in stocks eventually occurs you have less in stocks as the assets have been reallocated to bonds and cash. Therefore you will never fully recover. Should there be a waiting period?
