Q: Hi I am following JWEL with interest. It appears part of the reason for the price is investor worry that stock got ahead of itself based on demand for its products during pandemic. Do you think the stock will be punished more in the coming days/weeks as we climb out of the pandemic?

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan, I'm a 63 year old conservative investor and I've held CNQ from 2010 where I bought it at $34.00 where it's been a roller coaster since then and as you know it dropped to about $12,00 in March. I've held it for the dividend and since it's back to where I first bought it in my unregistered account I was thinking of selling it and transferring it to my TFSA and not taking any loss. How much upside do you see it having from here and do you think it's still worth holding or would you invest the money elsewhere, if so what is a good replacement for it. Thanks as always for your insight and the great service we get from you guys. Nick

Q: I do not follow the Canadian market at all, relying only on 5i model portfolios. I have done VERY badly on my TFSA held at a Canadian bank-owned broker ( iTRADE). I would now prefer to end the misery and hold only US- and European listed scurities in my TFSA. These are markets that I am familiar with. This broker advises it will not transfer any inter-listed securities from the Canadian side to the US side. (It would only transfer other US securities). This would force me to liquidate inter-listed securities, then buy US securities. I thought of withdrawing the entire Canadian $ proceeds, with the intent to reinstate next year the full amount withdrawn but in US$ . Question: do you know what exchange rate I should use to calculate the amount in US$ that I may deposit into the TFSA next year? Would the taxing authorities accept rates posted by the Bank of Canada or Bank of England? Any traps I should be aware of (if you know)?

Q: Hi all,

For AC.TO and SU.TO, they are just like brother increased more than 5% today. I have brought those two stocks half years ago and finally now back to profit. I want to thank you fro your advise and actually no need to wait for 3 years :)
Which one will benefit more after COVID? Do you think keep holding now, since both hitting the high price for 3-6 months. After the COVID, how long will last for those two in benefit the raise? 1-2 years? Usually, I have difficult to sell the stocks in high price, do you think they are good for long term holding for 5-10 years? What is the possible in short term one year target price? Kindly advise.

Q: I own these three energy stocks. They are now in the positive, WCP up 74%, CPG 12% and TVE 7%. I think I'll keep WCP a little longer based on your answer to an earlier question, but with respect to the other two, should I just be happy I'm green again and cut and run? Or, do you see them rising with the sector in the coming period of positivity? Thanks!
