Q: I have held TRP for a long time recommended by all analysts who cover it. I do understand that pipelines are rarely to be added in the future and TRP is a huge owner operator in N.A. They also manage to increase dividend (now @7%) every year. It's payout is in excess of 500%. Can you explain how TRP is so overrated with such a poor payout ratio?

Q: I have been watching UNH since the Bush years when it was going through rapid mergers and Buffett was buying it up. It wasn’t going up during the Obama presidency at least early on as investors were looking at the impact of public insurance.
Could you please comment on its significant success since and the business model of American health insurers now and in the future?

Q: Hello, I am overweigh Tesla as I love the product and observe it is family of products including EV's, Energy production (Solar) and retail (Supercharging). All with revenue growth potential. My question has to do with trading volume. Over the last few weeks I have observed Tesla's trading volume at multiples of the big guys, say Ford and GM. A few minutes ago, Ford traded about 5 million shares, GM 2 million and Tesla 25 million. Can you comment on the interest in Tesla and how it could factor in the future stock evaluation ? How important is trading volume ? Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Thank you for your reply this morning on my question about ZWB and HMAX . In your reply you indicated a preference for ZWB because of the upside potential being greater . Am I right in assuming that if that is the case HMAX would be the less volatile of the two ?

Also in 2018 I asked 5I to crunch the numbers on the big five banks over the 18 years { 2000 to 2018 }... I would assume that is a long enough segment to determine an average annual return of dividend plus capital gain. The answer I got ranged between 11% on the low end { TD } to 14.3% on the high end { RY }...... Please correct my reasoning but to me it looks like HMAX with its' current 15.1% dividend based on today's cost of the ETF is going to slightly beat those numbers annually, have less volatility, and give me diversification as an added bonus ? ..... Please advise if my reasoning is sound .....Thanks Garth .....
