Q: I own ZWU in an RRSP account. Today's market price is basically the price I paid to buy it. I own it for the healthy monthly dividend it pays (7% annually). With interest rates about to increase this spring and at least 3 interest rate hikes expected this year, how would those rate hikes affect the price of ZWU? Would I be better off selling ZWU and then investing the proceeds in ZWC which is more diversified in its holdings? My investment time horizon is 10+ years. Thank you.

Q: Friday’s large drop brought Galaxy to my attention and its P/E of 3 per your data made me look further. But I don’t understand some of the other numbers: Revenue = 0, Interest coverage is negative 123.9, and Price to cash flow is 1246.
If P/E is correct it seems like a something to add to my list. I could imagine that revenue might drop if a significant portion of their customers were to drop or reduce their crypto currency activity after taking big hits on those assets.
But I don’t understand their business. Is this as cheap as it appears, and is the outlook decent?

Q: Thank you for posting the note that doing nothing is one of the hardest things!!! I have been doing nothing but am now looking to add 1 new position to my Canadian TFSA, might also just add to existing positions depending on your answer. Please tell us the 3 stocks you would buy today in Canadian small to mid cap that have been sorely beaten up and have great future growth potential from here. Thanks again!

Q: Hi,

I currently own META and QCLN.
For long term hold, I'm thinking about switching these two into SMART stocks because they dropped more.

1) Do you think SMART stocks will outperform META and QCLN in the long term?
2) Do you think SMART stocks are cheap enough right now given almost 50% drops?

Thank you!

Q: I am interested in investing in the EV Charging market and am looking at EVGO, CHPT and BLNK. Could you rank these in order of potential growth and add other companies that would be of interest.

Thanks for all of your past guidance,

Q: I am thinking of making the following move. Selling my TECH and then on the US side of my portfolio buying the top three from the fund. I am thinking MSFT, AAPL and GOOG. Do you agree with these three as the best of the six? And if not which would you switch out and why? Please note that for any buys that I am currently making companies need to be in a net cash or minimum debt situation. And am I right in presuming that I could claim the capital loss on TECH even though there is technically considerable overlap here? Thank-you.

Q: I have converted a RRSP into a RRIF this year and subsequently my mandated withdrawal and consequent income will be much more than is required for me. My portfolio is chock full of banks, utilities, reits and other solid dividend stocks ( think EIF, SPB ) , essentially matching the present required withdrawal amount. My non registered account has essentially the same composition.
I am considering taking the RRIF withdrawal money and incrementally buying more solid growth stocks such as BAM , TFII , WCN , FSV , etc. instead of higher yielding dividend stocks.
Your thoughts on this portfolio transition is appreciated. Derek
