Q: Hi Peter and Team

Do you have any further thoughts on how Magna will be affected by Trump's "Made in America" policies now that he has been inaugurated and started to hold meetings with car manufacturers?

Thanks so much for your opinion

Q: I have a 2% position in Lyondellbasell Industries. I bought it as an RBC Top Pick but it never went anywhere and I'm now even on my purchase price with gains only on the dividend. What is your opinion on this stock moving forward and would a switch into Dow Chemical be a better opportunity for growth + dividend? Thanks

Q: It has been since last summer since you commented on WBA. Do you like this a go-to name in consumer staples? Outside of Jean Coutu, there really isn't an equivalent any longer in Canada, is it worthwhile to hold long-term? Divi is only about 1.8%

Q: As we get older we are thinking of making our portfolio less volatile. Therefore, we have been thinking of eliminating cyclical stocks, such as energy, companies like Agrium. Do you think this is the best route, or would you prefer, as I think you do, hold a smaller percentage of cyclical stocks? Also, would you consider a company like Finning, which is related to the energy sector in many ways, as a cyclical stock?
thanks again for a wonderful service

Q: AcuityAds (AT.V) release today re their "ultraintuitive marketing platform" sounds very leading edge, if not unique in the industry.

Just hype or is there really something to it for marketers?

Q: With the kerfuffle over QCOM I noticed there is talk about the buyout of NXPI not going through. Further some analysts are bringing NXPI's price target down. One part of me likes the arbitrage between the two. So 2 questions. What does NXPI look like to you on a stand alone basis and what do you think of trading out of NXPI into QCOM over a period of time?
