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

Q: Hello,
I would like to rebalance my technology exposure.
You mentioned putting in stink bids to pick up bargains.
Could you tell me what you suggest for stink bids on SHOP, LSPD, TOI and SYZ.

Thank you very much

Q: I have been seeing a gradual price loss with some of the example preferred stocks I hold shown above.
With the continuing disaster going on in Ukraine and its inflationary impact, should I expect this to further reduce valuations for these types of investments as interest rates rise?

Q: Good Morning,

I have recently retired and need to improve yield. The above noted holdings have a low yield or have not performed well.

Can you please rate from first to sell down to last to sell and possibly provide some basic reasoning.

Thanks very much.

Q: I have modest positions in these two holdings and am thinking of selling the Choice prop. REIT and buying more TXF. Do you have an opinion on this move. I recognize that they are very different holdings but my reasoning is as follows.
Chp has a nice dividend but very little growth. Txf has now dropped in price to a point where the downside potential seems more limited than its upside potential. It also pays a dividend that is enhanced by the covered call strategy. I know you prefer to own tech companies directly (which I do) but have also found Txf to be a way to own a basket of tech that would be hard for me to reproduce in my own portfolio. Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Q: DRM is my largest holding at about 7% of my portfolio. I've let it grow in no small part due to its low beta predictability. It rarely goes up or down much, even on bad market days, and never for long. It has the smoothest chart I've seen in a long time. The last couple of days, though, have changed that. Down a lot (for it) yesterday and down 4.5% today, which it has never done in the last year. Do you know of any reason for the sudden change in its predictable pattern? What do you think of the company and stock?

Q: What do you think of Jade's Power Trust(JPWR.UN) and their East Wind asset located in Romania? If the European Union wants to become less reliant on Russian Oil and Gas and move towards renewable sources such as this I'm assuming they'd benefit. What's your long term upside/or downside potential for this stock? What are the pros and cons of this stock, concerning the market they are in and where would they rank against their competitors, the financial ratios, insider buying/selling and your opinion on the management ? Would you consider it a buy, hold or sell at this time? Thanks

Q: Would you have a good proxy for U:US, DND and GH:US to capture tax losses, I do not need them but I would use them at for the future? If there is no equivalent, please state that as well and I can wait until markets return, whenever that will be.

Thanks for your service!

Q: Hi Folks,
I currently own the above in my TFSA and non registered accounts as part of the "tech" sector - I would like your opinion as to whether you would add to any of them OR would this be a good entry point to buy CSU for some Canadian exposure.
Thanks

Q: I noticed in one of your answers today you indicated the TSX Index is roughly 17% energy. I thought people should understand that this figure includes pipelines, midstream companies, uranium, and for some reason, Parkland. I looked at the XIC holdings today and added these up, and these non-producers make up roughly 8% of the TSX Index. The XIC energy weight as of Mar 8th is listed as 16.6%. That means the O & G producers make up about 8.6% of the TSX Index. A bit lower after today.
