Q: Hi guys,

In today's environment, would you be more inclined to let these names grow a little larger than normal ie: instead of selling the stock when it grows to 7% (back to 4%) of your portfolio, let it get to 10%.
Thanks

Jim

Q: Hi,
SHOP has been a great performer for my portfolio. I reduced my position by approximately 40% yesterday. (April 21), thinking that the stock looked “topped out”. To my surprise it continued its uptrend today. I like to term this stock a “monster”. It’s unbelievable they way it’s moving up. Is this move sustainable and do you think we could see $1000 in the near future ? Also what is really driving this stock.... could you share your thoughts ?

Thank you and be safe .

Q: I have a question not related to the market or individual stocks. Thank you for providing a calming to all of us during these crazy times.
I am 65 years old and retired. I don't require funds from my investments as my pension covers living expenses. I am trying to reduce my RRSP account by withdrawing funds and putting that to my TFSA. I pay the tax. If I open a RIF and transfer a sum from RRSP, I can then SPLIT that income if I withdraw the amount to transfer to our TFSAs. My question is: Am I obligated to withdraw a minimum amount each year or not until age 71?
I could just ask my accountant, but thought maybe some other members would be interested in possible tax savings.
Thanks again for the great service you provide.

Q: My small holding in MSG has performed much better than I'd expected considering the recent challenges. With the stock now reorganized into shares representing "sports" or "entertainment", I'm wondering which
of these issues you'd view as more appealing if I wish to expand my interest? Thank you.

Q: I have held GWO as a reliable dividend stock for several decades and it has never cut its divvy and on several occasions has raised it. At a yield of over 8% is it signalling trouble ahead? How bad and for what reasons would the dividend be cut? 8% is very tempting but lessons learned in the past have taught me that chasing yield is never a good idea. Thanks Ron

Q: It is a core holding in my portfolio. It's not behaving well lately. Does it have a disproportionate representation of risk assets of today like real estate or hotels to cause such a significant downturn? What is causing the drop?

Q: My timing in purchasing was terrible, and now I am just watching my investment lose value every day. Should one expect a timely turnaround here ?

Q: HI Team
I see that Auspice has warned investors about buying this unit, since it winds up may 22 and it is trading way above it's net asset value, trading about $5 and net asset value about $ 2.50, would not shorting the stock at this price be a good move. I understand it is a gamble, but as long as oil dosn't move up in a big way, it's a "sure bet"
Thanks
