Q: It's getting a little scary to see such huge profits in my portfolio (Cash, TFSA, RRIF). I know you are flexible about percentages, so I'd like your opinion on whether to reduce the following equities and by how much?

SIS 7% ; BABA 6% ; NVDA 9%; SHOP 8% ; ALGN 6% ; DOL 9% ; PBH 9%.
Many thanks for all your thoughtful advice.

Q: Would like your opinion on what company to add to my RRSP. I currently have BNS, TD, BCE, T, TRP, ENB and PFE. Would like some something with growth potential and a small dividend. I notice you seem to like SIS - would that fit in OR can you suggest others I can look at ? Thanks for your help.

Q: Rising interest rates have definitely put downward pressure on bond-proxy types of companies i.e. those that pay dividends. I am an investor who believes that those companies that pay dividends and have the ability to raise those dividends consistently over time tend to outperform. I would like to purchase 6 such companies for the income portion of my portfolio, and would appreciate the names of your favorite companies that pay, and have a history of increasing, their dividends.

Q: Hi Guys,

I was thinking of buying SIS at $16.60. After reading many of your answers I know you really like the company.

Why does the stock price keep dropping going against your recent recommendations?

Do you see a problem with their Chinese factory and importing goods into the US especially with how "Donald" is acting?

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks
John

Q: What is your view at this time of Canadian bond proxy stocks versus Cdn dividend growth stocks, and their valuations relative to interest rates?

If you are of the view that dividend growers are more appropriate at this time, can you provide three growers that you recommend, and 3 bond proxy stocks that you would suggest to stay away from, to better understand the types of stocks that fall into this category. Thanks.
