Q: Good Morning.

I would like to buy stocks in this dip. Which would you recommend of the ones I noted or others? As well, a small position in each or full positions? I currently own full positions in SIS, OTC, EFN, ECN, GOOGL and HOT.UN and small positions in TIO and CXI (to name some). I also have a large position in US cash. Any suggestions for it?

Thank you!
cathy

In the current environment (interest rates and the US election), how do you think these ETFs will perform in the coming years? Thanks for your great service.

Q: Would you please clarify the latest news on Kirkland Lake Gold? I no longer know who is selling what to whom, or who's buying what. Is there a new player altogether in this? It was halted on Friday, but now open for trading and up again, modestly. (I'm starting to feel like I'm in a David Lynch movie with this one, waiting for the dwarf to appear in my dream and read the signs for me.)

Thanks for your help, as always!

Q: Since mid-year when VNR hit $23, it has been on a steady decline and then, of course, with the new threat on renewables, it has dropped considerably. Q3 showed weakness in Gaz Metro net income and now I await YE results. Any insight into what Q4 looked like? Should I sideline this one and wait for the dust to settle on the renewable threat or should I just sell because VNR will continue to perform poorly?

Q: Any thought on Equitable Group's latest results? Share value is down over 5% on news of increased dividend, increased EPS and increased ROI. Is this because of the mortgage market overall in Canada?
