Q: May I please get your thoughts on this company and maybe how it compares to other oil companies like suncor/exxon/chevron. It looks like PSX are more concentrated in refining than production. Thanks.

Q: What metrics do you look at to determine if long term holds for dividend income are still safe for that dividend income? I have a pretty diverse portfolio and more than half of it is in banks, oil, telecoms and utilities. I have held these since before Covid, Financial crisis, two wars presently raging and introduction of AI, let alone the Climate Change growing issue. So I'm looking out say 10 years and want to look at each of my long term holdings to determine if they are still long term eligible and if so will their dividends be safe. Any thoughts on a frame work/lens that I should be considering in this kind of a review?

Q: According to portfolio tracking and analysis, I am short on basic materials, consumer cyclical, consumer defensive, health care and industrials. I’m also significantly short on international equities. With this in mind, can you provide your top 3 to 5 companies for each sector to increase my holdings in basic materials, consumer cyclical, consumer defensive, health care and industrials. To increase my exposure in international equities, I will be investing in ETFs. Please provide and rank the top 5 ETFs with international exposure. Thank you.

Q: Another tax loss question. Currently down 19% on EIF and 11% on NPI in a non-registered account. (Interesting to note analysts are giving both 'strong buy' recommendations.) First, EIF. Would you sell, sell and repurchase, or stand pat? And if your recommendation is to sell and repurchase, would you repurchase before year end or wait 'til the new year? With regard to NPI, would you sell and repurchase? Stand pat? Or replace it with something like H? (BIP and BEP already held). The goal with both stocks is income with some growth. Thank you.
