Q: Hello -
I'm looking to add some Canadian large cap stocks that pay their dividends in USD into my USD account. I believe NTR, MG, and TRI are three to consider. Are there any more that you may be aware of?
Thanks.

Q: I keep reading the traditional fixed income portion of a portfolio that has been allocated to bonds in the past, is a bad idea as a long term investment going forward. With that being said, what type of investments/products would you suggest the average investor allocate the fixed income portion of their portfolio going forward?
Thanks

Q: Doesn't Tencent Holdings qualify as an eligible investment in a TFSA because it trades on a Designated Stock Exchange? ie. Hong Kong. Even though it also trades over the counter in the U.S. Here is the link: https://www.fin.gc.ca/act/fim-imf/dse-bvd-eng.asp
I checked with Royal Bank Direct Investing before purchasing and it was allowed.

Q: This is to add to a member query about attending the AGM in Omaha. I went about 20 years ago and the event was huge. Too large for the one hockey sized arena. There were over 20,000 people then, and it was like attending a religious revival. Most of Berkshire's companies have product displays at the event, which 20 years ago was split between at least two large venues. There usually is a Q&A with Charlie and Warren but good luck asking a question. There are shareholder events, like attending the minor league baseball game, the team Warren owns personally.

Q: This may fall into the category of a question that can't be specifically answered, but can you tell me why Micron Technologies P/E is so low at 7.5? Currently Apple trades at 18, NVDA is at 48 and Google is at 59. MU has good income growth and profitability but seems to trade at a much lower multiple than its peers.

Q: Can you please give me the Opinion of 5I on Axion Ventures
It is trading on the Venture EX for just 0.95 cents
showing a P/E of only 1.5 (Looks highly profitable)
It is scoring a # 10 on the Thomson Reuters Reports which I checked
on TD Web.Broker.
Appears to be a Good Buy.
Great to see Ryan Modesto on Market Call today.
Thank you

Q: I presently own REF in my RRSP (4%) - with the aquisition by CHP would it be advisable to keep the merged position or sell and replace. If I replace - what REIT looks good at the moment? I also have a position in AX (2.5%). Should I sell before the close or wait for another competing offer? If I don't by a replacement REIT what looks good in it's place?

Thank You
