Q: Hi, guys!
I am managing an income portfolio for a relative, who also has some "paper" shares of Blackberry (BB). She would like to know how to either sell them or how to move them into her trading account at RBC Direct Investing. Since I never having been involved in such, can you tell me what would be the procedure?
Thanks!

Q: Income oriented portfolios:
What is the role of covered call dividend ETFs in a income oriented portfolio and what is the risk ?
If such ETF is supposed to increases income and reduces volatility, shouldn't covered call dividend ETFs become a significant part of income portfolios? even considering that you do not benefit from the entire stock price appreciation ,but that the income is more secure ?

Q: I read about AMY and like the idea of taking a flyer on a company focused on battery recycler technology considering the EV momentum. I see news came out about it on the 21-Jan but it made a significant jump the day before. Is this 'pre-emptive' jump typical?

Are there alternative companies in this space that you would recommend?

Q: I was thinking of getting an RRSP Loan to top off my RRSP and then use the refund to pay down a portion of the loan. If I did this and had $50,000 to invest and ~20 years to retirement how would you allocate it and thoughts, if you can comment, on this strategy? Thanks as always.

Q: I have allocated 20%-25% of my portfolio to Fixed Income. Would XBB and CBO be sufficient to cover the fixed income component? (say 50-50).

Thanks again for the great advice as always!

Q: Hi 5i Team - At their annual meeting on Feb.10 Score is considering a resolution to consolidate their shares in a range of one for every 2 to 20 pre-consolidation shares. With a total of 433 million existing shares do have any guess as to what that consolidation ratio might be. Do you think this could result in a declining price after consolidation as sometimes happens. Also could you check out insider holdings - it looks like they are quite high. Has there been much recent activity. Thanks.

Q: Are there any blogs, magazines, papers, etc that you recommend for an investor to keep up to date or get new ideas? I have found than many of the sites/periodicals that I used to read/watch have become very politicized and are pushing either a far left or far right agenda. (I would love to go a full day without someone talking about Trump). I still like to check on what stocks Mawer and PHN are holding in their funds, but beyond that I feel so many people are just pushing agendas.
