Q: I am up 100% on Boyd in my RRSP. I am slowly dispersing my RRSP and putting the money in my non registered account to collect dividends for a passive income lifestyle.
Boyd only pays 0.6%. With that in mind, would you replace this stock with another or buy Boyd again for its growth prospects. What would you replace this stock with in an investment account to boost dividends for income. I own most of your income and balanced stock picks.

Q: Good afternoon.
I've been doing a little research on the growth of artificial intelligence in Canada and I would appreciate any insight/ recommendations you may have for investment knowing that there could be a high level of risk involved. This would probably be for a TFSA account with a 1-5 year frame. Might there be an IPO(s)on the horizon worth investigating?
Thanks.
