Q: When you do a review of a Company could you lead off with a short summary as to what the company does, ie what business they are in. This would be very helpful in understanding your review Sometimes I hear of a name of a Company but do not know their business .

Q: Would appreciate your thoughts on what types or specific investments to hold in the three kinds of accounts: investment, tax free savings and registered retirement savings.
Would the selection of investments change based on age or time perspective (long range vs. short range) ?
This could involve dividend rate, growth, taxation issues, demographic and technology changes, climate perspectives, ESG considerations or other factors.
Thank you for your investing insights.

Q: Some of our GICS have come due. I went on to buy new ones and was shocked at how low the rates are... 0.8 was the highest I could find for a 1 year. I was thinking about buying the PSA ETF instead until rates go up. It's only slightly less at 0.6 and can be sold at any time . What do you think of this strategy? Any risks with PSA that I'm not aware of?

Thanks

Q: Don’t you think the increase in the MRK stock price is excessive given that the benefits were shown in unvaccinated people which is a shrinking market because more and more people are vaccinated and that this MRK news release shouldn’t be a negative for Covid vaccine manufacturers like MRNA…isn’t MRNA a screaming buy now. Isn’t the market misunderstanding the news release?
