Q: I have some cash sitting in my RRSP and was thinking of adding to either Brookfield Infrastructure or Realty Income REIT. I had Costco on the list, but noted in answering another question, you recommended waiting. Of the two, which do you feel is the better choice today? Or should I continue to hold the cash a bit longer until the markets settle? Thank you.

Q: I had Alcanna and it was bought by Sundial. Alcanna was a $9.00 Canadian a share. The sale closed March 31, which means that Alcanna earnings was not in Sundial Q1. Would it be logical to assume that when Alcanna earnings become part of Sundials Q2 earnings. It would boast Sundials share price to $3 or $4 US.

Q: I am currently down over $35K in SPY and would like to crystalize capital losses as I feel we are nearing the bottom. I understand that selling SPY and buying VOO would be deemed as an artificial loss by CRA, so I am wondering whether you can recommend another, less obvious replacement with high degree of correlation to SPY? Ideally, a USD-traded one. Thanks.

Q: I am doing some investing planning.
Objectives are to reduce risks and to capture more dividend income.

Part of this process entails looking for companies that are ( almost) too big to fail - recognizing that nothing is totally safe. bam.a, bro.b, bx

As a category or label would you:
1. Agree that the companies above are “ conglomerates “? ( or something else?)
2. Are they “ almost “ too big to fail?
3. Are there others I missed? .. especially something you like better?

Thanks as a for your helpfulness.

Q: Hi Team,

With the assumption that retailers have an inventory problem there seem to me there are 2 outcomes:

1. Retailers take a hit on the products and sell at a lower price
2. Wages rise bringing more disposable income to purchase said inventory

Is there another case I don't see? How do you see this playing out?

Thanks!
