Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Want to beef up my finacials. I own SLF, TD, BAM.A and X . Trying to decide between 1. Buying BNS ( new position), 2. topping up my 4 existing more or less equally, or 3. putting it all into just 1 of the current 4 ( likely SLF as TD and BAm are already a big holding, jury is still out for me on X). Long term holds, balanced/income hybrid portfolio follower.

Q: After reading your answer to a question on TIP and STIP on March 29, I invested in these two inflation-protected bond ETFs, however, their performance to date was extremely poor and I am down about 10%. Can you please explain why these "inflation protected" securities behave so poorly in the current high inflation environment? Aren't they specifically designed for situations like we have these days?

Q: I have been a canadian equity owner only but am buying a number of US large caps for the first time. With the US dollar being as strong as it is right now, would you hedge these purchases using the NEO exchange. I am in my early 70s

Q: Last December I asked what price you would consider this to be really cheap. The answer was below 3 dollars. Today it is at one dollar and thirty five cents. I guess this could go below a dollar which would have been unthinkable last year. It is no fault of their own other than profit margins. Is there some reason that large institutions don't come in and buy this up at this price. Does risk change at this price somehow.

Q: In a well balanced long term portfolio, with preservation of capital being the first priority, safety of dividend and some capital appreciation being secondary, would you add to BNS or SLF at this time? I have a 2.5% position in each and want to increase one to a 5% position. Would you suggest buying it all now or legging in over the next few months? Thankyou

Q: I hate asking market timing questions as much as you hate answering them but...I have always been a bit light on real estate and am wondering if now is a OK time to add a position in either xre or zre. Second question: You have XRE in the income portfolio, today would you stick with XRE or I was looking at ZRE that has outperformed XRE recently. My concern about timing is with rising interest rates and the jittery markets that I might be better off just parking in the banks or consumer deffensive and worrying about real estate in a few years,

Q: I'm perplexed by these "defensive" stocks. Both are breaking down with the market. Shouldn't food and insurance companies fare better? They haven't and now I wonder when the market turns if growth companies will fare better and lead the market higher (eventually). So what's in store for these companies going forward? Throw in the towel and put into growth companies?

Q: There are several Financial ETF's which classify BAM.A under "financial" and include it as part of the ETF holdings. With the upcoming spin-off, how would these ETF's adjust for this? If after the spin-off, one of the entities would not qualify as a "financial" sector, is the ETF forced to remove it as part of their holdings?
