Q: Hi,
I am low on energy and pipelines, as ENB.TO is my only holding in this sector. Most of the available cash I have on hand is in a US dollar RSP account, which I do not have to convert to a RIF for another 4 years. I've listed some stocks that have my attention, and wonder if it is reasonable to purchase now, as they're mostly at new 52 week highs, except OGS and VZ. Do you think these will still have room for further gains, or am I essentially too late and taking a risk these will roll over quickly as we inch closer to a US recession? Are there others you would prefer that aren't listed and any of the above that would be higher risk in this market environment? Take the appropriate points for the multiple questions. Thanks for you continued valuable insight!

Q: In today's Wall Street Journal (Heard on the Street column), it suggested that one of the consequences of the blocking of Russian Central Bank reserves is that governments may rethink their position that US dollar or all money as an asset and will likely increase their gold holdings in a material way as the only true store of value.
If this is a trend then gold and gold shares should make great investments.

Q: I'm confused, because I've received two T5008 (statement of securities transactions) forms in relation to two stocks moved from one registered account (RIF) to another (TFSA) . All withdrawals from RIF (including the value of these stocks) are included in my income for 2021.
Why am I getting these forms - which seem to double count income ?

Q: Hi

Thinking of selling ICLN I am down 21% and replacing it with VDE.

Why!! I think the clean air flavor of the month is dead for a while and want the ride oil shortage.

Also METV still not show the intraday price on my Portfolio Analysis.

Thank you

Mike

Q: Can you please comment on this company. The stock keeps falling while the company is ready to launch their new SUV. There is a news that it is heavily shorted off-exchange (dark pool). Is this even possible?

Q: Hello. I don't understand what happened with these stocks. I'd held almost a full position on hr.un for about a year. A couple of months ago they made some kind of move and I was awarded pmz.un stocks. Suddenly I showed about a 20% loss on my hr.un holdings which is pretty well equal to the current value of my PMZ holding. I'm wondering if I should sell both and re-invest in better real estate stocks or sell one or the other and put all the proceeds into just one of these companies? Thanks.

Q: Hi,
I am puzzled by Intact's jump in price today, it isn't earnings related, but seems rather significant. Also, given that they have just issued preferred's at 5.25%, would you rate these as a good addition to a diversified portfolio looking to add a lower volatility holding for income? Thanks for your valued thoughts.

Q: I own some Shell and BP shares. I heard that Shell is planning to unload a lot of its Russian assets and may take a massive accounting hit. BP also has a lot of Russian interests. Should I be thinking of selling Shell and BP, given these risks? I was thinking of holding on to them for the longer term, but all this Russian uncertainty has given me second thoughts. Can you comment?

Q: Can you please comment on earnings. Was there anything that stood out in the conference call (either good or bad). Portfolio Analytics notes I should increase my exposure to consumer defensive and US holdings. Would you recommend starting a position in COST within an RRSP? Lastly, from an educational stand point, what metrics/factors (financial and non-financial) are good to look at when exploring/assessing a business such as Costco.
