Q: Hi,
What do you think about the so called "windfall tax"? If O&G companies are going to be taxed for share buy backs, is it good or bad news for the shareholders? Should I add to my already held positions or sell and lighten up a little?
I saw briefly on Twitter feed Eric Nuttall thinks it's actually one of the few taxes that can be good for O&G stocks. I couldn't find his entire statement. So forgive me if I am misquoting Eric.

Q: Can you suggest a safe proxy for WPM to do some tax loss selling? I already have a full position in FNV. I would prefer to stay with a streamer to avoid miner risk. Geographic risk also seems to be a concern with current geopolitical flux.

Thanks

Q: Regardless superficial losses, RBC Wealth MGMT states "Generally, two different classes of shares of a corporation would not be considered identical if they do not have the same interests, rights and privileges. For example, if class A shares of CompanyCo have voting rights but class B shares do not, they would not be considered identical."

Q: GSY's YTD results are disappointing and in spite of the many positive touts (including 5i), I am losing patience in the almost 39% drop so far.

I've been interested in DOL for some time, would you recommend a swap of GSY to DOL at their current prices today? Or should I wait for the GSY report due on 11/10 before I do anything? Please advise.

Q: Guidance seems to be the key factor in reporting season for tech stocks. No one cares if you beat on the current quarter, like ROKU just did. Its outlook is terrible, with higher expenses and higher losses ahead. Do you think ROKU will become a profitable business one day or will the streaming wars never end? Is the end game for ROKU a takeover by NFLX or others?

Thanks and thanks for the detailed answer on META. Time will tell if the emperor is wearing clothes.

Q: It seems like everyone is dumping technology and piling into energy. When energy was dirt cheap hardly anyone was recommending and that was the time to buy rather than high flying growth stocks or highly priced renewables. Is the same thing happening here where clearly technology is not in favour and everyone is selling to buy energy as that is the only thing working. Isn't this the wrong way to look at things as you are selling technology low and buying energy high. Your thoughts appreciated!

Q: Thanks for the recent report on DIR.UN.

What is the current FFO payout ratio, and is it sustainable in a prolonged stagflationary environment should it occur ?

I was thinking of pairing this REIT with something in the Self Storage sector such as LSI. Would this be a good plan, or is there a better REIT pairing ?

In general, I thought REITs overall would be performing better in this current bout of inflation. Is it all about interest rates?
