Q: Hi,

If the war in Ukraine ends, how would it affect oil prices, specifically, SUN, CNQ, ENB, CVX?

Q: Hi Peter,
In the covered call ETFs universe, there are ETFs that write options out of the money, and ETFs that write options at the money. Please explain what these two strategies mean. Is one strategy more risky than the other? For example, comparing ZWU with UMAX, yield of UMAX (at the money) is twice as much as ZWU (out of the money). What’s the catch here? With the current volatile market, would you favour one option strategy over the other? Thanks.

Q: TYD has dropped 54% ytd. Obvious negative momentum. Do you rate as buy hold or sell at this time?
In normal times I would expect you to say wait and see but we aren’t in normal time- what do you see going forward for those holding already? Is it worth waiting.

Q: I have done well on all of these stocks but all have had pull backs. Which of these should be held, sold or added to.( I have no need for the cash and none are on margin) Thanks for your help.

Q: Besides BRK & CSU, what other companies pay no dividend or only a tiny dividend since presumably they feel they can give sharholders a return higher by investing the funds. Cdn, US, or Global names appreciated. What would be your favorite to put away for 5 years with little need to check on them. Thank you for all your great work !

Q: Hi folks,
I have held CNR in my TFSA for a few years - up 10%. I am thinking of replacing it with WCN for some more growth. Would it be better buying WCN on the NYSE or TSE? May I have your opinion?
Thanks

Q: How do you see the tariffs affecting SHOP? It is a volatile stock but volatility has been rather extreme since the talk, and introduction of tariffs. How do you see all of this playing out? How specifically will they be impacted? Are there any silver linings here?

Q: When I see forward-looking metrics (e.g. P/E, PEG ratios, etc.), they can be last twelve months (LTM), next 12 months (NTM) and one or two fiscal years out (FY1, FY2). What are your thoughts/what would you think should be favoured? Thanks.

Q: Under current conditions would you comment on FAP. Buy/sell/hold. Thanks as always

Q: Hello ,
I was thinking of buying TD technology leaders etf (TEC) instead of XQQ , the nasdaq 100 etf as it has performed the nasdaq and seems to be more diversified. Any comments please?

Also, I looked at the details of VUN and XUU etfs, They both seem to have similar holdings and over 5 year period both have similar performance. However , going over more than 5 years, why has VUN out performed XUU. I am not clear on this..

Regardless of the tariffs situation, the US market seems to do well over time, and hence i thought instead of total Europe exposure, go with VEQT etf. Any comments please..

Also, do you prefer unhedged products like VUN as opposed to VUS? Lastly, i use yahoo to to compare charts. Do you know a better site please? Thanks very much

Q: Sitting on some cash. Are there any good buying opportunities under the balanced portfolio you would consider at this moment for a 5-6 year time horizon?

Q: Hi,

Can you please comment on Kraken's most recent acquisition from a competitive point of view, ie does this place them more of a leader in their segment or simply adds to their offerings and maybe is more of a one stop shop?
I have owned the stock for about 4 years now and it's become a meaningful position.

Cheers,
Steve

Q: With all of the chaos going on in the US, what are your thoughts on iShares EWZ going forward? If this is a possible position, what percentage of a portfolio would you be okay with?
Thanks, Lesley
