Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,
I own above stocks and represent 6% weight in my total portfolio. The stocks have came down a bit with recent weakness on the gold and silver movement. Should I trim down some of the position? I am still in profit but worry that these stocks may go down further. thanks!

Q: If one is only invested in North America, would now be a good time to buy VEE, or if you have a better idea for emerging markets? Also, if one has built a conservative portfolio for elderly parents using only VBAL and VCNS, would adding VEE be a good compliment, or would it add significant risk ?

Q: Good day and thank you for all your valuable information. In looking to consolidate some income positions in my portfolio I would like to bring one of these two high income earners toward a fuller position of 4-5% in my portfolio (currently ZWC at 1.1% and MFT at 1.98%). Portfolio is aimed at getting 80-20 split equity-fixed income. Can I have your thoughts on these two and any suggestion toward any other I should be considering instead. Thank you.

Q: This is not a question, but a comment. Many years ago I read "One Up on Wall Street" by Peter Lynch. My main takeaway was to look around me. As a shopper I hate Loblaws since there are always bare shelves and they seldom have what I want. If there is a special, they are sold out within hours on the first day. This has gone on for many years. In contrast, Metro always has what I want and sometimes more. Therefore I own Metro and have done well by it.

Q: HI Peter and Staff
My health care basket of stocks (mostly US) is in my RRSP where I am not taking withdrawals from. Hence dividends are not the motivating factor but rather overall returns over the next 5-10 years.
All individual positions are small in relation to size of my overall portfolio.
I am considering shaving some of my JNJ and PFE and adding to my DXCM and IRGS.
Does this sound like a good move in total or in part or not at all.

Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

Aside from buying Alcanna at its high and selling it at its low, I have steered clear of the cannabis space as you and virtually all BNN Market Call guests have suggested.
I was surprised Brian Madden recently broke ranks and chuckled about it on BNN and picked this as a top pick.
It was the day of the last quarter or day before its release.
Where would you rank this in the cannabis space for money that you can afford to lose but would prefer not to

Thanks for all you do

Q: Hi Peter and Team
Your advice on options, specifically covered calls is very much appreciated. Some time ago you had advised on opportunities in the US market for selling covered calls. As I believe that with the US election done that there may be some return to normal, is this a good time to again consider selling calls and could you advise 3 Canadian and 3 US shares that might offer good premiums ?
Thanks so much for the ongoing advice. Peter
