Q: Wow, it appears that there will be further, possibly much further decline in stock prices over the next while. That got me thinking/wondering about trimming of selling Canadian stock held in the TFSA....and these stocks are also held in a trading and registered account. Some, like ATZ and PBH are in the consumer discretionary sector, a sector that might be considered more risky in the current market setting. An others, like GSY that is the loan business, a subsector of the financial sector. And finally, there is industrials like TFII, and a US position in TT that also sells into Europe which is in turmoil. This is a sample of the holds that are still in a gain position. Would you consider trimming back to a more risk appropriate weighting, selling the ones in TFSA and avoid income tax or just hold and ride it out???....Thanks for your insight....Tom

Q: Hi, What's your opinion on TC Energy, for income and some growth, and with a bias to indirectly benefit from Oil and Natural Gas prices ? TRC recently acquired an interest in a Mexican pipeline and stock had an overhang due to a large equity issue, which seems to be slowly dissipating now. Stock has nice dividend yield of over 5.5% and analysts generally appear to be positive, on the stock, specially after the new acquisition. How is the current valuation and do you believe that debt is manageable? Is it a decent buy at current level - $65 - $65.50 ? Thanks

Q: Interested to note you selected TCN as one of three Canadian stocks you would overweight for a 2-3 hold. How would you compare TCN to MG in terms of risks and total return over the same period? For an investor with a balanced portfolio, which would you recommend? Thank you.

Q: If I wanted to buy stock in a Canadian software company with general information management services for business and a cyber security arm, is OTEX a buy given it’s being beaten down over its new acquisition. Or, are there better companies to consider in the current market? If there are, what are the better options in your view?

Q: I believe part of Lorraine’s Aug 24 question was about the NEO exchange itself, and whether it is investible as a company in its own right (apart from the question about buying MSFT on NEO)
NEO was acquired by CBOE Global Markets recently. CBOE does trade publicly but on the BATS exchange. Hope it is Ok to mention this.
I would love for 5i to do a review of the various N.A. exchanges sometime and rank them as investments.
I owned Archipelgo back in the day, and have held X for a long time. Exchanges seem to be good long term investments. Which U.S. exchange would 5i favour at this point, if it were to choose only one?

Q: I am shopping for a single investment offering security over 20 years combined with capital appreciation and accrued dividends (in a DRIP). ETFs do not seem to accrue fractional shares (when they have DRIPs at all); therefore I'm looking at single stocks such as BAM.A, Telus or perhaps BNS. If you had to recommend a single stock, which of these would it be, or what would you recommend instead and why?
