Q: Hello
Could you recommend a couple of Social Environmental focused companies that I could add to add my equity portfolio.
I like the Tesla stock but it is very pricy at $259.



Thank you so much

Q: I`m looking for some exposure to US stocks that offer a minimum of 4% div (US), with some room for growth. I was thinking of adding GE, understandably with a longer horizon, and two more stocks, preferably in small to mid-cap. If you differ with GE, could you suggest an alternative? thank you Peter and Team.
Rick.

Q: My portfolio weighting of VET is about 4.6% but I am currently down 11% since
this summer. If this decline is mostly commodity related and sector-specific ,
do you foresee any decrease in surplus supply with a potential share price increase during the upcoming winter season ? Do you feel that this is a long-term trend due to oversupply from shale and fracking projects?

Q: Hi team:
I owned XTR for a few years in my RRSP, it generates about 5% yield per month but compared to FIE, another ETF, it has underperformed, the later has alot of Cdn Banks in it, probably accounting for the better performances; as the interest rate might edged up slowly, it could put a negative return on XTR as it has more bonds and preferred shares in its holdings, as an investor in his early 60s, I wonder if I should switch XTR (about 50%) to FIE due to the impending interest rate increase which they have been talking for the last 3 years ? Thanks! have a good day and looking forward to hear from you

Q: Dream Office REIT has been lagging recently. Presumably due to interest rate concerns and increased future office supply particularly in Toronto. I'm thinking the stock looks reasonably cheap now and maybe the bad news is mostly priced in. Do you think the distribution is safe? How correlated is office property to residential real estate should we see a housing correction? Thank you.

Q: I have purchased cum before on your recommendation but sold all my shares at higher prices. Is it time to buy some shares for growth for 2-3 yr. period. Also, who are the sellers in SGY and WCP to drive the price down? My idea of SGY with all this hedging is that it was a good price at $8, so it must be a bargain at $6.60?

Q: Saw an advertisement for this company on the last page of the Financial Post, today. It is bidding on contracts to supply body cameras for police - a timely device considering the problems in the US lately. It is very small mkt cap at the moment. What are your thoughts on GSI (venture exchange), and who are its competitors? Thanks, as always
