Q: I own these 3 stocks. I would like to own only one for a long term investment, as they all seem to be in the same field. Is this a good idea or are they different enough to hold all 3.
Thank you!

Q: It's hard to identify the market "bottom" in a timely manner, of course, but what might be the best indicators that a sustained recovery has probably begun or is soon to begin? Are there some good bellwether stocks to watch for this purpose? Are there other indicators, such as particular market indexes, or volume or volatility measures, or "mood" surveys, or economic statistics? Where should the primary focus be?

Q: hello
If you were to build a mini pension with 5 or 6 uncorrelated Canadian stocks/REITS, what would they be? Are they all "buys" today or would you put some (which ones) on your "watch list"?
Thank you.

Q: My holding in CMMC is down almost 30%, in a taxable account. It was a small position before, and even smaller now. I am thinking of selling it and taking the tax loss;

1. Would you stay in materials? To me. an outlook for inflation says yes, and outlook for recession says no; which way do you lean?

2. If staying in materials, what would you buy in place? And do you prefer whatever you might be thinking of or would you go back to CMMC after 30 days?

Many thanks,

Q: Good Day All,

I hold the above in an income oriented portfolio. Looking to allocate more money to tech if I can find anything that meets the criteria of a reasonably secure dividend with a minimum 4% yield, on a Cdn exchange. Tough to find in this sector but thought I would ask for any suggestions you may have. I could also just add to the above if you can find nothing better.

Much appreciated.

Q: Please rank the following companies for long term holds in a TFSA, with a management rating for each. (10 being the best)

Also, I currently hold SHOP and CSU.. Do you feel LSPD and TOI overlap these larger companies too much to consider a position ?

Please suggest any other Canadian companies not listed for long term holds.

Thanks for everything! Cheers

Q: Other than higher interest rates, is there a reason the US housing REITS have been so weak of late? Does the same reason apply to CAR.UN which have been down.

Q: Those 3 are well underwater but I like all 3 for their long term potential. I need some tax loss and I'm thinking to sell one or all and buy back in 30 days. I wonder if you could think of proxy titles to replace for the next 30 days or just leave the money on the sidelines. Would you sell all or not? DOO is the closest to breaking even is 12% down. The others are down in the 30% range and are very volatile. I need an opinion to help me decide. Thank you.
