Q: Morning Peter & team,
Looking at I5 Income on CPD now down a lot still with 5% yield, it seems a fairly good holding for my TSFA.
Your idea is very appreciated.

Q: I notice that you sometimes suggest/recommend that subscribers or their young dependents purchase U.S. $ denominated stocks in their TFSAs. I would love to but I don't. The reason -- taxes. Both in the short term and with age ( I am almost 80) am learning the hard way the implications of the T-1135 and the joy of U.S. estate taxes. If I had the chance for a do over, I would put as much of my U.S. equity holdings in my RRSP as possible and later convert to a RIF. Start using the TFSA for a some Canadian dividend grower. Publish if you wish. Thanks for all you do. Bill

Q: Hello,
In your article on option investing you mentionned the value of being diversified. I understood that as being diversified in your portfolio in general, and not necessarily in the stocks which you sell options on. Am I right in that?

I was going to sell options this week on both Apple and CALM this week, to get this diversification. I noticed, however, that i would, at least at this time, get about twice as much for the same amount of money by investing in Calm rather than Apple. So, i doubled up on Calm. Is there a problem in this? That is, did i miss something on the question of diversification?
thanks

Q: I have mostly sold all my energy holdings and am considering selling my midstream holdings by mid-2017. Why? Ford Canada CEO states that the auto industry lost 50,000 jobs over the last 15 years and she feels all levels of government should help out to ensure more jobs are not lost. The oil industry lost 100,000 jobs in ONE year and no one flinches. Canadian natural gas is being replaced by Eastern US natural gas. The east imports their crude oil from Saudi Arabia and Venezuela and will not allow a pipeline to transport Canadian crude from the west.

So what investment thesis is left to hold any energy stocks or any stocks reliant on the energy industry?

Q: Hi team,
CLR reported record earnings for 2015,on the 22 and the stock has been in a downtrend since. Were investors disappointed about the company not raising the dividend or did the share price get ahead of itself before numbers were released?
Would a 15.00$ price target reasonable a year out?
Thank you.

Q: I have read Ryan's recent blog on budget spending. He mentions wastewater and water treatment infrastructure spending. Are there any listed Canadian companies that are dominant in this area, and likely to benefit? If not what foreign companies are leaders here already?
Thank you

Q: Hello
Thanks for quality answers

With regard to earlier question......bail in / bns
I have read nothing of the article......but....

Would it be fair to reconsider the inclusion of the word "Depositors" in the content?
To me, the inclusion implies the abcense of our strong protection through Canadian deposit insurance Corp (CDIC)

If not, please let me know and I will have to read about this news.
