Q: Hi Team,

I know this is out of your core focus area, but I was hoping you could tell me if you think RDS.B's dividend looks safe going forward and if this might be a good entry point for this stock for a long-term position. Many thanks for any suggestions you have.

Q: Hello,

Is there any way Canadian investors can see dark pool trades? Especially large block trades and what price they traded at? I heard more and more large block trades are happening in the US & Canada. What are your thoughts about dark pool trades? Thanks

Q: The recent bond sell off is suggesting the much anticipated interest rate increase is around the corner. I have read that bond like stocks such as reits, pipelines, utilities and consumer staples will experience increased volatility in the coming months. I own a 20% weighting in the low volatility BMO etf ZLB. ZLB is loaded with the at risk sectors mentioned and could quickly become a high volatility etf. Would you please suggest several Canadian equity etf's as an alternative to ZLB that have low weightings in the interest sensitive sectors. Thank you.

Q: Could you comment on GH Q1 please? Is the divvy covered and would you start to top up a position or wait for a bit of bounce up. Technically it looks to be establishing a floor.
Thank You Ron

Q: I currently own SU as well TRP and ENB. I have held ENB for many years and the capital gain on this stock is quite high. I am slowly selling some shares each years to bring the weight down but I wonder if I really need to hold SU since I do own TRP as well. Which stock would you keep SU or TRP or should I sell both SU and TRP? I am slowly trying to make my portfolio more diversified.

Thanks

Q: Would you please advise me of what you would do - buy more, sell or hold given the recent news release regarding a lawsuit. I have held this stock for a while and, while volatile, the results have been great. Needless to say, I dont want to see the gains disappear. (What is that saying Peter, " ...rather leave the party a day early than an hour late?....)

Thanks.

Q: Hi, After the recent run up to $43, subsequent to Fundtech acquisition news and upward revision of price targets by most analysts, stock seems to be taking a breather, lately. Do you think anything has changed in its outlook? I am considering to add to my position in @$40-$41 range for growth/income over long term and would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks

Q: Can I get your thoughts on PM please.
A second thought/question: If US interest rates are expected to raise this year or early next, will that not pull down the CDN $ even more, and if that is the case, would it not be a good time to move more $ into US Stocks - even with the CDN $ were it is now.

Thank you as always.

Q: Greetings, I hope you enjoyed your long weekend. I am in the enviable (LOL!) position of facing a proposed reverse split or consolidation in one of my holdings. Is it safe to assume that outstanding employee options and warrants will be similarly reduced in number? i.e. 4 to 1 The Management circular does not clearly cover this topic.
Thank you!
