Q: Hi,
This is a follow up question to your response to Bob's question on NVDA, AMD. Having only recently purchased AMD, I am somewhat concerned about a lengthy wait for AMD's price to resume an uptrend with the burden of XLNX. At the moment I am down 1/2% and wondering if it is prudent to exit and put the money to work in another growth opportunity? I currently own NVDA and could simply add to it. Other options might be TSM, MPWR, or IPHI. I would welcome your thoughts and any suggestions you may have. Thanks for keeping us informed!

Q: When we are facing the specter of the federal government spending without regard to the future and the Governor of the Bank of Canada saying negative interest rates are back on the table, how could investors reposition their portfolios to mitigate the negative aspects of these events? Can you provide a few examples across the various sectors where one could start to reposition a portfolio?
Thank you...

Q: Hello Peter,
Do you have a clear favorite between WM and WDO? If Gold rises over the next few months, which of WM or WDO stock would be better correlated and would you expect silver to lag or outperform? And do you have a favorite between FR and MAG? The time frame would be the next 6 months before I review my positions.
Thank you as always for your astute insight.
Regards
Rajiv

Q: BAM is one of the best run companies and has a successful track record delivering shareholder returns. Why do you think the market doesn’t appreciate this stock and what / how long do you think it will take for this stock to start performing. Would you consider this a core long term holding in a portfolio?

Q: Further to Dave's question regarding the Raytheon spin-outs, once the CRA has granted them eligible under 86.1, they are not taxable until one ultimately sells them. But to elect to use the 86.1, you must file a letter with the CRA (done typically with your taxes, after you have received documentation from the company showing that this dividend (spin-out) was received, and that you are exercising this right under 86.1, to defer the tax due, until sold. Just google how to claim 86.1 cra eligibility, or taxtips.ca also has information on how to claim this eligibility. But most definitely, I believe that if you've received a T3 or T5 or similar, showing the spin-out dividend companies, you cannot ignore it, you must inform the CRA of your intention to defer.

Q: I have been following 5i advice for a few years now and it has served me well. Thanks! However, this is the first time I have had a question that I haven't seen an answer too in the forum; I some capital that I need to invest shorter term 1 - 1.5 years. Everything fixed pays next to nothing, so where should I be looking at this time? Bank stocks with a safe dividend? Other high dividend slow growth companies? If so, which would you recommend? Thanks, Dan

Q: Could I have your views on the Emerge suite of etfs; EAUT, EARK, EAGB, EAFT and EAAI. Returns so far seem to be pretty good but wondering if some of those could become part of a personal portfolio. Haven't heard very many questions on these particular etfs.
