Q: Is inflation finally under control?
Will we have a recession? How deep could it be?
Are our banks safe?
Are we losing control of our country to others that seem to play by different rules? We just kicked a Chinese diplomat out of Canada for threatening the family of a member of the Canadian parliament. How will China retaliate?
Russia is still at war against Ukraine. How is that impacting the world economy?
Climate change is threatening economies in counless ways. Almost all negative.

So here's my question. In your opinion, what Canadian and global companies offer a service so necessary or a product that is in such high demand that they will persevere in these troubled times and make profits for their investors?

Q: Please explain the difference between "management fee" and" management expense ratio". Is the management fee included in the MER or separate? In other words to find out the total fees charged, one would add the 2 fees together. Correct??

Q: I currently hold CIBC and BNS and think it a good time to add to Canadian banks due to the low valuations and high dividends. Do you see any issue with this? Time horizon is at least 6 years. Should I add to these existing or add the other 3 large Canadian banks? I also hold the BMO Canadian banks in my wife's portfolio.

Q: Q1 looked pretty good...what is your take on the dividend? Is it the best use of capital going forward or is it only meant to make up for the strategic review closing...otherwise this looks like a company I'd like to buy/hold. Curious on what you think about it? Thanks as always.
