Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: If it's not too late, these books don't address all Jame's questions but are excellent books:

and
Your Retirement Income Blueprint Daryl Diamond

Q: Hello, I'm looking to sell Vermilion for tax loss purposes and am looking to maintain similar sector exposure by replacing it with Whitecap. Do you think this a reasonable move or is there a name you would prefer over Whitecap in this scenario? Or would it be better to simply wait the 30 days and repurchase Vermilion? Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Q: URGENT: Hello Peter. I hope that this question is timely enough for you to address today or tomorrow, because I need something else for my wife's Christmas stocking! My wife has just retired, will have some significant money coming in soon from the sale of a property, and has a developing interest in investing and the markets. I'm hoping to find a good, 'reader-friendly' investing book to give her, but most (e.g., Wealthy Barber) are geared to lifelong investing habits and not for retirement. I'm hoping to find one that also focuses on things like: investing from a retiree's perspective, annuities, strategic use of RRIFs, how to best draw down from different types of accounts to minimize tax, travel and related issues (insurance; retaining OHIP or non-residency issues, etc), charitable giving, insurance for unexpected health issues, etc. Are you aware of any that you might recommend? Thanks!

Q: I'm a bit confused. The Nasdaq is up. All the markets are generally up. Tech in the US is up. But ALL Canadian tech stocks are down, and in some cases down heavily. What would account for this?

Q: Season's Greetings to all ay 5i,
There seems to be negative news for WTE with Teck moving to contract CN into Neptune Terminals. I'm a little confused about this. There is only a finite amount of commodities than can go thru the inner harbour of Vancouver. CN/CP only have so much rail capacity as well and if CN will be moving 10M tonnes of coal into Neptune it will be at the expense of other commodities/products. There is also a New Grain Terminal coming on line soon that will demand 4-6M tonnes of product to be delivered (by CN) and shipped. The port has been congested for years and I know from my 40 years experience working in the port that further vessel traffic will be limited.
Grain, as you know is regulated, so that becomes an issue for CN in that they will face huge backlash from farmers if grain doesn't get moved. My question is;
Is this a play to get better pricing from WTE by Teck?
Do you think that investing in WTE at current levels is a solid long term play?

Thank you
