Q: I have modest positions in these two holdings and am thinking of selling the Choice prop. REIT and buying more TXF. Do you have an opinion on this move. I recognize that they are very different holdings but my reasoning is as follows.
Chp has a nice dividend but very little growth. Txf has now dropped in price to a point where the downside potential seems more limited than its upside potential. It also pays a dividend that is enhanced by the covered call strategy. I know you prefer to own tech companies directly (which I do) but have also found Txf to be a way to own a basket of tech that would be hard for me to reproduce in my own portfolio. Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Q: DRM is my largest holding at about 7% of my portfolio. I've let it grow in no small part due to its low beta predictability. It rarely goes up or down much, even on bad market days, and never for long. It has the smoothest chart I've seen in a long time. The last couple of days, though, have changed that. Down a lot (for it) yesterday and down 4.5% today, which it has never done in the last year. Do you know of any reason for the sudden change in its predictable pattern? What do you think of the company and stock?

Q: What do you think of Jade's Power Trust(JPWR.UN) and their East Wind asset located in Romania? If the European Union wants to become less reliant on Russian Oil and Gas and move towards renewable sources such as this I'm assuming they'd benefit. What's your long term upside/or downside potential for this stock? What are the pros and cons of this stock, concerning the market they are in and where would they rank against their competitors, the financial ratios, insider buying/selling and your opinion on the management ? Would you consider it a buy, hold or sell at this time? Thanks

Q: Hi Folks,
I currently own the above in my TFSA and non registered accounts as part of the "tech" sector - I would like your opinion as to whether you would add to any of them OR would this be a good entry point to buy CSU for some Canadian exposure.
Thanks

Q: I noticed in one of your answers today you indicated the TSX Index is roughly 17% energy. I thought people should understand that this figure includes pipelines, midstream companies, uranium, and for some reason, Parkland. I looked at the XIC holdings today and added these up, and these non-producers make up roughly 8% of the TSX Index. The XIC energy weight as of Mar 8th is listed as 16.6%. That means the O & G producers make up about 8.6% of the TSX Index. A bit lower after today.

Q: Do you see any second derivative opportunities to the current bull market in commodities? More specifically, are there any tanker shippers you favour in this environment, like NAT and TNK, or dry bulk shippers, like DSX or SBLK? With the possibility of a reinvigourated US oil and gas industry, what are your views on service companies such as HAL, SLB, and BKR? Thanks.
