Q: It appears that sometime in the medium to long term future the majority of the vehicles on the road will be electric. My question is, with the stock market being forward looking, at what point does this start to affect oil related stocks. Maybe it has started to affect them now. I have heard a few people say they are staying away from oil now because of this. I know there are a lot of factors on this topic but I would appreciate your educated guess.

Q: I just read the report by Eric Lascelles and the team of economists at RBC (Sept 7/18).They give a 1% probability to a modernized NAFTA that produces positive economic outcomes. All the other scenarios are negative with the highest probability (35%) given to the US getting all their demands with of course negative economic effects for all parties. Given this, a sane person has to wonder why we are even discussing changing NAFTA. As investors though, are we better to ignore all of this and assume well managed Canadian companies will adjust and emerge competitive once they know the new rules, or should we try to be more proactive. I am assuming you lean toward the former.
Your thoughts are appreciated.

Q: I am paying off my mortgage and had planned to sell my holdings in WPM to help do that....was just waitng until this month when the mortgage term ends....bang... WPM down around 20% in the past month...

Should I hold for a rebound ( I have other holdings I am thining out that can easily make up for it) or is it a lost cause the next 6-18 months. The plan is to ditch it eventually anyway but had not planned on a 20% drop. If just a short term cyclical blip would lean towards holding, if in your opinion it is a fundamental problem with the company I would just suck it up and use the loss to offset my gains from other sales in this tax year.

Q: Hi, as a long term income investor I am getting very tempted by ALA’s increasingly attractive yield as the stock trends lower. However, at around 9% is this a warning that the dividend is potentially at risk of being cut. IWhat do you think is the probability? At the same time ALA is a large company in a relatively stable industry and has made an attractive acquisition? Your thought? Thanks.

Q: CWX is down from its high and would like to buy a full 5 % position in my portfolio. I know the debt is a bit high due to inventory but if your garage has 20 cases of beer in it isn't that a good thing. I find having inventory puts the company in a position to manage good and bad times. The 2.25 percent payout at the end of this month is it safe?With hurricanes and wild fires everywhere pressure treated wood will be needed I think. Should I proceed with a full position before the dividend payout. Thanks for the great work you do.

Q: I currently own both Shares and their warrants (warrants are trade-able under BBI.W).

At the current warrant prices (.15), I am heavily leaning on selling the rest of my shares and using those $ to purchase more warrants. My thought here is the warrants would triple more easily than share price (which is currently at .35).

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Q: Your answer today on leveraged EFTs using risky options that added a lot of risk over time concluding avoidance.
A few days ago you responded to a ? about HXT HXH HXS that used Swaps to convert Divs to ROCs that implied these ETFs were fine to hold.
Are swaps a different risk asset than derivatives. What is swapped for what.
