Q: I am looking to increase my allocation to the Materials and Real Estate sectors. My current exposure is only through various index ETFs. Can you provide 3 companies for each sector that trade on the TSX to have a balanced exposure?

Q: I am trying to ensure my portfolio is appropriately balanced to deal with both the inflation we're currently facing and the recession most feel is coming in 2023. Should I target a portfolio that is balanced across all sectors and hold on for the ride? Or should I try to strategically overweight/underweight certain sectors? And if the latter, do you have any advice with regard to sectors and timing? Thank you.

Q: GSY stated in their Q4 financials that interest rates would need to rise by 2 per cent before any material impact would be felt in the business (due to floor agreements and fixed rates in place on current funding sources). Since then rates have risen .75 % and it looks like they will increase further. What is your guesstimate of how much higher they will rise to? If your guesstimate is above the 2% threshold, then how badly would that effect the business. How would that change your earlier thought that $125 share price would be an excellent buy.

Q: Hello Peter and team,
Can you expand on your answer please on Topicus and Nuvei? You had indicated these are good growth names but add when there is a sustained recovery in tech.. how does one gauge it? Do we use technical analysis and also it seems that yield curve may flatten should that not bode well for tech? With rising rates, banks are supposed to do well but i see a decline.. Is the view now that only short term rates will go up and long term may not go up much; lastly, do you think Abcellara is a good buy now?

Q: I hold the above 2 in the basic materials sector. Both are involved in copper production with Teck about to increase its exposure to the metal materially by year end. Copper is known as an economic indicator and the worry was in late 2021 that a drop below $4.20 would indicate a worsening economy. Currently, the price is $4.57 with a high in 2022 of almost $5.00 so as of now the economic signal has not turned negative where copper is concerned, however the inversion of the yield curve indicates otherwise. With both of these stocks at or near 52 week highs would it be wise to sell now before copper turns down before economic conditions worsen?
