Q: Hi, I was wondering what's your opinion with the deal between Amazon and Blackberry? Do you think Blackberry IVY could become a essential in the auto industry? This new platform seem to be the missing part for traditionnal OEM to be able to compete with Tesla, and it would be high margins and recurrent sales for multiple year for BB. Maybe also possibilities to expend this business outside auto market ? Do you suggest a buy for a long term perspective?

Q: Hi,
WELL, together with LSPD, GSY, REAl, VEEV, KL, makes up the core part of my portfolio.
I find when Canadian listed companies seek a listing on the US stock exchange they have much better exposure to a way larger market, which ultimately benefits the stock, provided they execute their plans successfully.
Would you see, WELL, a small company by US standards, benefitting from a listing in the US and do you think that management at WELL might be heading in that direction?

NB" The hypothetical question is from the idea that maybe they can grow in Canada without seeking other markets, but I am skeptical about that.

Thanks,

Q: Hello -
Back in early November you had mentioned that QBTC was trading at about a 24% premium to Bitcoin itself. Since then it looks like Bitcoin is up maybe about 20% and BTC is down approx. 5% (?)...... you can likely can confirm those figures. Part of that is maybe CAD / USD differences. I am assuming that BTC and Bitcoin don't exactly move in lockstep.

Is there a way to figure out how much the day-to-day premium is?
It QBTC a better relative valuation than it was a month ago?

Thanks !

Q: Hi There,
I am considering adding to my current position of either MG or BNS.
In the event of market pull back, which of these do you believe would be the most stable? The idea is, when there is a market pull back, sell the position and add a more growth oriented name.

Q: I hold BIP.UN in a registered account. When BIPC was created I decided to keep BIP.UN but it is looking like I don't understand the corporate structure. Typically with a unit trust or a partnership the unit holder pays the tax on the income whereas the tax is paid within a corporation so dividends are "after-tax". Since the amount of the distributions are the same for the two entities I figured that BIP.UN would be better off because it didn't have to pay all the tax on its income. By my rough calculations: since the split BIP.UN is up about 20% whereas BIPC is up about 80%. What did I miss?
Thanks for your insight.

Q: Hello I have accumulated about 27% of my cash portfolio in ENB and TRP combined due to DRIP and the fact that I have held the shares for about 20 years. The also make up about 10% of my total investments. If I sell, the tax will be like a kick in the pants and so I have never sold. The dividends have always been good too. But with Trudeau looking for areas to raise some cash, I feel capital gains might get worse. If I were to sell some of this, would you suggest some renewable energy issues such as AGN or BEPC to replace?

Q: I have a 5% weighting in ENB. I'm considering selling half my position in ENB and using the proceeds to buy TRP. My thought is spread the risk from one company exposure. It appears that ENB daily volume is much greater the TRP. Does it make sense to hold both pipelines or stick with one? When does daily volume of shares traded come into the equation?

Best, Don
