Q: This company seems to be expanding a lot. I've heard they have really good products. With long time horizon and high risk tolerance, what do you think about tattooed chef as a long term growth play? And how do you think it compares to beyond meat?

(you can take 2 credits for this if need be :) )

Q: Good morning, I am going to open a TFSA and contribute $50K, could you please make a recommendation around number of investments, and what you would suggest to distribute the funds to, I have a middle of road risk tolerance and was thinking dividend yielding investments with a dividend to mitigate significant downside. TIA

Q: Hi, I recently transferred a roughly 90K pension into a self directed LIRA (for which funds cannot be added to). Would love your recommendations on how you would build this portfolio. Am open to any and all suggestions. I am open to growth, balance and dividends. Thank you!

Q: My son hold these tech stocks and really need to start to invest in US tech stocks as all his holdings are in Canada. He would need to sell some of these holdings to get cash so he could convert to US dollars and then buy 2 US stocks. Which stocks would you sell first and can you provide 2 US that are similar to the stocks that he would sell. He has a RRSP account so no capital gains to worry about. He has 20 years before needing to withdraw.
Thanks

Q: During recent research, I discovered a theory that even in our times of extreme volatility I should seek out companies that exhibit the following characteristics:
1. They have a history of growing dividends for investors.
2. They have a history of growing their earnings.
3. They trade at valuations that make sense.
So, based on these variables, and your years of experience, please provide me with the names of several Canadian companies that have these characteristics.

Q: I am the owner of SJR,B shares. The news release essentially says Rogers will pay $40.50/share for BOTH the A class shares and the B class shares, which represents a 70% premium for the B shares.

At the time of typing this question Monday morning, the market has the A shares at $40.35 and the B shares at $32.00.

Shouldn't the B shares be at $40 as well, or am I missing something or is the market confused?

Thanks for your help...Steve

Q: you referenced in a previous question that Trading volume and 'travel' is also important. Is there a certain term or way to track "travel" for individual companies stock prices and what do you like to see for "travel" for a daily chart... I am sure straight up is ideal but not what we tend to see.

Q: Haven’t seen a question since January. MDRA looks over sold and the stock has just issued a possible early technical buy signal using scholastics. More importantly this mRNA technology got another “shot in the arm” with the latest data indicting that they may work by STOPPING transmission not just mounting an immune response to decrease the course f the disease while you remain contagious. How well funded is MRNA. How is their free cash flow and their debt load. This technology keeps getting more and more exciting. Malaria, the common cold, HIV, etc!! And if is better maybe even influenza?

Q: Your view on the latest move on convertible notes offering to pay cost of transactions.

Q: good day 5i
Thinking about selling emera, which I will have high capital gains on and buying a renewable energy stock. I already own a full compliment of icln and wondering whether I should buy another renewable? If so, which one? I am selling emera because I suspect the government may impose higher capital gains taxes soon. And also because I think there will be more growth, with of course stability, with renewables. I thought I would pass this idea through your radar to see whether you see it as a worthy idea
Thanks
