Q: Everyone, I don’t trade very much, I am a buy and hold person. Keep the best of the best stocks. But I regularly look at charts to see were the stocks is at certain times. The 50, 100 and 200 MVA. Also RSI. I know you use financial metrics but do the charts have a benefit to individual investors? Or should they be used in combination with finial metrics? Which is more important? Clayton

Q: I hold BIPC and ABBV in a US TFSA account. I want to add GOOG. I know that there is a 15% unrecoverable witholding tax on dividends and no tax on capital gains when withdrawal occurs. Since I will not be withdrawing for 5 to 10 years Should I keep these in the TFSA account or move them to a unregstered account? 80 year old value investor with some growth stocks.

Q: I would like to narrow this list down to the best 10 to hold in a long term taxable portfolio. What would you suggest be the top 10 stocks? I currently hold all of them but would like to sell this down to 10. I like holding 10 stocks with about 10% in each as a risk/reward balance. Thank you - and thanks for some of these names which came from you! I am only down on Amazon and BN at this time.

Q: I realize that you are not much of a fan of DCBO these days given your preference for DTOL and that you removed it from your growth profile. But I'm wondering if this company might be looked at as a potential takeover candidate. Three points to consider:

1. There have been recent articles indicating that the next 18 months could see a real pickup in M&A activity within the Canadian software sector;

2. Following recent earnings, analysts revised their targets for DCBO downwards. Notwithstanding this, the average target is still $72.17, almost 70% higher than our current share price; and

3. Most significantly, two weeks ago, Warburg Pincus LLC anted up over $5.4M to purchase 118K shares (@$45.49) and they now own 12% of the company.

As always, would appreciate your viewpoint.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Across all portfolios, we are under-represented in the gold sector, having only a small holding in the CGL.C ETF,

If investing today, in what order would you put new money into the three stocks AEM, FNV, and WPM, or is there a case to be made to invest equal amounts in all three, assuming there's no significant overlap?

As always, thanks for your assistance in making an informed decision.
