Q: Hi Team - for my RRSP I have cash for a full position, or 2 partials, and based on portfolio analyzer I am under weight on Utilities and Consumer Defensive. Are conditions decent to enter those areas now, and what would be your top 3 in each area. Bonus points for options that increase global exposure since I’m also needed some international exposure.

Are their cash and cash equivalents holdings approximately $100 million.

Q: Good morning - I logged into my BMO IL account today and I still have not received the SOBO shares from the TC spin out arrangement. I believe that all holders of TC should have received the shares on October 1, 2024 which was two days ago. I called BMO IL and the agent I spoke with could not tell me when I would receive the SOBO shares. Would you know why this is the case and if any other brokerages are having the same delay? Clearly the shares are trading on the TSX so some investors must have their shares. Thank you.

Q: DRX has announced great profits, new contracts and the buyback which happened after the last quarter. Negatives could be upcoming US elections, the buyback being treated as Insider selling and the deferral of revenues from this quarter to the next. There seems to be no retail support for this stock, or retail support is not sufficient to offset the institutional selling. What would be the steps that management needs to take to stop the bleeding on this stock as it has been in a down draft since the high of $20.8?

Q: I think I understand how CIPF insurance works. But wanted to clarify… if one has over a million dollars in stocks, bonds, ETF’s, mutuals, and cash in a non-registered account at a brokerage, is it best to move some to another brokerage? As CIPF covers only one million per non-registered account per brokerage? Thanks.
