Q: Telus, Maple, Well and others are Canadian stocks in the medical game in Canada and the USA. Are there other Canadian players in the same league? Can you please compare them from a financial performance, competitive and management perspective. Well has dropped by 50% since Sept/2021, very gradually. I'm wondering if there is a reason for the gradual decline. Is there a better stock in the same sector? Canadian or US. Also, is there still momentum pushing down WELL. Do you think it will be beaten by the competition in the next 2-3 years? Is it a sell from this perspective?

Q: I have BEP.UN in a non sheltered investment account and I am trying to figure out the tax difference between holding it and holding BEPC. I have capital gain on the BEP.UN and wondering if selling, taking the cap gain hit and buying BEPC for better tax treatment going forward is going to pay off in the long run.

Q: What is the difference between BEP and BIP? Aren't they both in utilities sector? Why does BAM feel the need to have 2 subsidiaries which focus on the same sector? Would one's portfolio need exposure to both?

If one is to hold only one infrastructure/utilities company in one's portfolio, which company would you recommend? BEP vs BIP vs any other suggestion that you think might be worthwhile? If it helps the answer, my risk tolerance is high and time line is 3-5 years.

Thank you for your guidance.

Q: Hi,
Currently holding these three positions at a loss >50% each and they are less than 1% position now. What do I do with each? From reading previous comments, I think you still like EGLX and AT and would give them more time? Would you top up slightly to 1% or not average down on them now?
How about XBC? Is this one on a short leash and thoughts about about swapping to ANRG for better growth potential going forward? All 3 being held mostly in TFSA. Thank you!

Q: Good day team. I own LSPD and follow KXS. As both are good companies I am thinking that one day I will either add to LSPD or open a position in KXS. The difficult part is comparing the value of these companies when they have negative earnings. Analysts often comment on the multiple of price to sales but this does not show up on a stock quotes. 1) is there an available source that provides this information, or 2) if I have to calculate it myself is the formula: stock price X shares outstanding divided by revenue?
