Q: I am looking for a quote for a UK listed company. Flutter for example.
I see the last quote as 9,456 GBp, does this mean 94.56 British Pounds?
so their quotes would be in whole pennies? please help me there.

Q: I'm looking to add a little oil given the current upward momentum. I own ERF at this time. Could you recommend a couple of mid cap names that might respond with some gusto to further oil price increases....willing to assume some risk.

Thanks, Dennis

Q: I want to take a position in gold. Would you recommend FNV (or other gold stock) or Gold bullion ETF?

Q: Coworker mentioned etf VGRO. The MRE is quite low. I was told this etf is a conglomerate of other etf’s. Was wondering if the mre’s in these etf are payed by the share holder (possibly hidden by hobbling the growth in share price). Basically I wonder if this conglomerate of etf’s is also a conglomerate of MRE’s.

Q: Hi Team,
Would you please suggest a couple of C$ denominated ETFs with focus on emerging markets.
Cheers,

Q: I own a small amount of FSL for revenue. I think they invest mostly in the US. They merged recently with FSD, unknown to me. The stock didn’t do much in the last few years and is illiquid. There are some other ETF and funds dealing with « senior loans ». Could you explain what they are and if they are worthed for income/diversification purposes. I also own PSB (laddered) and XSB (short-term) on the canadian side. If appropriate, would you suggest something for income in the US to replace FSL, if possible a canadian-listed ETF or fund. Thanks.

Q: Would appreciate your opinion on ZPR vs HPR Preferred share ETFs.

Q: Could you rate your Tech sector holdings for future growth from the model growth portfolio, this would be for a TFSA.

Q: Is Andrew Pellar a Buy, hold or sell. My shares have slowly been declining.

Q: I am looking at this mutual fund as a way to play the potential bounce in canadian mid cap oils. I am impressed with Eric Nuttal's knowledge base and this seems like a more diversified way of playing this space. I bought 1000 units on RBC Direct just to see how the fund works and the result was puzzling. The transaction seems to be at the NAV and only happens at the end of the day and although the units show in my account, my "check orders" page shows it still pending until the following day. Before I buy more, can you tell me if I am buying on the market or from NPP ... all of which is OK. A second question is when I want to sell, is there a market or am I at the mercy of NPP deciding what to pay me.
many thanks for the great service.

Q: Looking at a 3 to 5 year time horizon, please rank the above companies as to total growth prospects.
Thanks again. RAM

Q: I need to raise some cash and I am looking at selling one of the following: ARE, GC, ITP, or ING (U.S.). What would you recommend? How would you rank them for disposal?

Q: Hi peter i read something that you wrote to a customer on the jan 7 2020 report that if we hold a canadian etf we still have to pay the cra taxes. Would this be correct?

Q: Please comment on Marc Cohones ( famed short seller) charges that EIF is essentially fraudulent. He claims they borrow money or dilute shares to pay their dividend among other misdeeds. In fact 2 years ago at the famed Grants’s conference he claimed several Canadian companies are fraudulent under a lax regulatory regime.

Q: Your thoughts on downgrade of Eif and forward analysis? Thanks

Q: Hi Team,

Q: Do you think there would be too much correlation investing in these three company's, or could they be different enough to buy all three, thanks?
