Q: I am sitting on a fair amount of cash I'm a little nervous about deploying until after the correction/election. I was thinking of putting it into mdvn which has about a 65cent increase when Pfizer closes. Do you think this is a safe strategy. When do you think it will close. Are there any safer areas to park money besides money markets

Q: Hi,
Could you please comment on BNP. Is this a buy or a sell? I've held it for a long time and I'm not sure other than a sustainably higher oil and gas price, or a takeover if there is any upside here or if it's dead money?
Thank you

Q: I have been watching PBH for awhile and was going to purchase then it starting breaking higher again. Is it okay to star to pick away it at this level. It has had a good run and I wonder if I should wait for a pull back as the fall usually has times of volatility or buy some now and add on market weakness.

Q: I need to increase my weighting in the "Technology" space and currently own equal weightings of AVO, MDA, OTC, SYZ and WSP. With $50K to spend, would you buy a new company (I am thinking DH Corp or whatever div paying company you recommend) OR would you just increase your stake in one or more of these currently owned companies. I know you have WSP and DH as "Industrials" but can it not be argued that they are "Tech"?
Q: I am trying to balance out my portfolio sector weightings and am having trouble classifying where these 3 companies should go. I have all 3 of them as "Manufacturing and/or Industrial" whereas you have BOS and MG as "Consumer Cyclicals" and BDI as "Energy". Can it be argued that these are Industrials or should I just stick with your sector classifications?

This is a question about RSP and RIF accounts. What happens when you sell a stock for profit in these accounts. Do you have to declare the profit immediately on this years tax return? Or do you just pay the tax when you withdraw money from the account... when you must withdraw a certain percentage every year after 65years of age. In other words your profits can just accumulate in the account and taxes are assessed when you withdraw funds out of the account itself?

Q: I have a balanced million dollar portfolio holding as many as 30 equities at a time. Currently I would like to hold all positions however hesitate to do so because of your stated advice that 20 to 25 holdings is optimal. My question is two parts:
1. Am I correct that that is your position, and if so, why?
2. If I were to liquidate five or more of my positions, which for one reason or another at this time I would like to hold all, how might I decide which to liquidate and which to hold? Thanks for the great service, Daniel

Q: Hi,
Just as a follow up to David's question today about building a simple index etf portfolio. I noticed you did not recommend any ex North America exposure. I thought the mantra was 1/3 equity Canada 1/3 u.s and 1/3 outside NA.
Thank you!
