Q: Many times you remind subscribers that with microcaps you have to think long term ( 5years). Xpel is a great example of that. I remember buying shares in this one at 13-15 cents less than 6 years ago. Now it is trading at $6.00 They don't always work out that way but more times than you think.

Q: I am aiming for 60% of my investments to be outside of Canada. I have a number of index ETFs (VFV, VA, XQQ, HXS, HXQ, VLQ, VMO) but I am wondering if I need some active ETFs. One I came across is Evolve Active Managed Core Equity ETF ( listed on TSX as CAPS) which has a solid return but higher MER at .95% plus very little information available. Are you familiar with his ETF? Do you recommend this active ETF or do you have other suggestions? Do you like the idea of holding some (10%) of a portfolio in active ETFs?
Q: Why would you buy a short term bond etf over laddering 1-5 year GIC. or for that matter just keep buying 1 year GIC.
I looked at BMO ultra short 5 year return 1.32.
I get it that it is liquid, but GIC has no risk.
Am I missing something?

Q: Hi Peter & team,
I have to construct 2 portfolios for my son's RRSP & Lira accounts, each with 130 + k with a 15 year time line, each has a Canadian stock component, one with 20 stocks covering most all sectors and ETF's, XGG, VFV, ZDY and VXC for US and International. The other I has HXT and the 5 top stocks in XIT , for Canada, QQC.F, VGG, XWD and XEF for US and International. Am I on the right track or is there any other suggestions that you would want me to make. I greatly appreciate your input.
Thanks once again. Ivan

Q: Bought several cannibus stocks last year. Very successful with selling all this summer except HIP. Before writing this one off (as they still have NO Income), I would appreciate your opinion on the possible value to any of the several emerging successful operations? Thank you.
Q: Do you have any updates on Maxar? I heard someone mention accounting irregularities on BNN (perhaps the person is shorting the stock?). The stock price doesn't seem to want to stop going down. However, with my luck, once I sell MAXR the stock price will jump higher.
Q: Your opinion please of emerald health, buy hold or sell? and where would you rate it among its peers ?
Thank you
Thank you
Q: I would appreciate it if you could comment on the recently released Q2 results. It looked like it was a slight beat on revenue although today's market reaction is negative (mind you, the entire sector is down).
Q: Not sure if zlb should still be in my porfolio, since its underperforming. Would i be better off to just put the money in vanguard canadian index vcn if i have a longer term view of the market 20 years out.
Q: Which of the two stocks - L or PBH - is preferable for a long-term hold, with the lower risk? Thank you.
Q: In light of recent quarter results, would you hold or sell and reinvest elsewhere. If so, what would you prefer in consumer discretionary - NKE looks interesting long-term, but is expensive.
Thx

Q: Hello and Greetings,
Globe and Mail - Aug 28th 2018.
DR makes it on the Top 20 SHORTED companies for August.
"....stocks targeted by short sellers under-perform on average"
My question: So why did DR Just hit 52 week high?
What are we to think ? Should we treat short selling as "noise" or does it herald a medium / longer term decline?
Cheers

Q: I am retired, live on income from investments which is sufficient for my needs and carry enough capital losses from past sins so I do not have to worry much about taxes on capital gains for a few years. I assume Return on Capital is essentially a capital gain.
I have assumed that keeping growth companies in my registered accounts therefore is the wrong way to do it as I lose the capital gains advantage. I therefore only put the fixed income (interest) investments in my RRSP. As many REITs and other .UN investments have sometimes a large RoC portion, it is also a mistake for me to keep them in an RRSP. Am I making sense?
