Q: We have given our 19 year-old Son $12K to maximize his TFSA. I have advised him to watch North American ETFs, now that we are at the top of the economic cycle. Can you recommend a few individual Canadian stocks with a 6+ year time horizon? Would you recommend any International, European or developing world ETFs?
Thank you!!

Q: How would you view this company and stock? I read the the Ontario Teachers Pension has increased it's holdings by quite a bit recently as well as other investors and analysts commenting they are warming up to BB. Can you also comment on their autonomous driving applications or other projects they are involved in? This would be a long term purchase 5-10 years. Thanks as always

Q: I am underweight in these companies from your Balanced Portfolio and I have some money to buy into one of the above. It would not materially affect my sector weighting and dividends, while nice, do no affect my choices. Which one would you suggest for a long term hold?

Q: We currently have 100 shares of Visa and believe the cc space is a strong area to invest in with the cashless trend in business, while we feel Visa and Mastercard are the dominant players we personally use our Amex card extensively and would like your opinion of adding axp to our portfolio or should we add to Visa.

Q: Can you assess the risk reward of buying these 2 cruise line stocks here - or would you advise waiting. NCL looks to cheaper; but has no dividend.

CCL has a 4.5% dividend ... (likely to be secure?) ..... which could justify be payed to wait for the eventual increase in share price.

Thank you for your help.

Q: Good Afternoon,

I’m typically a contrarian stock buyer. With the stock market at record levels right now, would you suggest wait for a pullback or do you have any stocks that I should consider buying? Thank you.

Q: Can you help me understand why SHOP went vertical (looking at the minute to minute pattern on the RBC website) Wednesday literally in a heart beat? Is the observation correct in terms of the 7-8% pop happened instantly? If correct how does this happen? Is this programmed trading? Would any regular folks have been able to buy it along the way up or did it just pop without any pauses along the way up?

Thanks again.

Q: Paypal looks to be making some very strategic moves from getting access to the Chinese Market, worldwide partnership with Unionpay and a strategic investment in Mercadolibre. I have not really felt a need to add them as a holding but with these moves they are shaping up to be a play on international markets such as LATAM and China without owing companies solely focused on those markets. How does it looking for a long term hold alongside MasterCard, Visa and Square. I like the payment space.

Q: Annaly seems to have produced some good results, based on market reaction, but I have difficulty understanding their financial statements. For me it's rather like peering through mud.
I've owned varying amounts of NLY for over 10 years and have recovered most of my capital as well as continuing to receive a fairly high yield.
Are you able to shine some light on it or would you need a team of accountants?
