Q: Hi there. I'm overweight in Apple stock (approx. 13%). With yesterdays earnings season causing surge in stock up today should I trim some off. There is still the matter of repatriation and 10 year IPhone 8 season that I don't want to miss out on potentially. Based on my watch list (of which I'm equal weight in all my other equities) is there a sector I should maybe add too that I'm not currently representing?? I would like to add to my Canadian portfolio. Could you recommend 3 stocks to add? Thx

Q: In an answer to Alexandra you stated that the distribution was a combination of dividends and return of capital with roughly 75% of the distribution being a dividend ....I had recently looked at this also...their website states that the 2015 distributions were as follows: 38.3% eligible dividend, 40.7% foreign non-business income and 21% ROC. This can vary but at least in 2015 over 40% was fully taxable income.

Q: Can you talk about the recent insider exec share sales in depth? You mentioned Breault's sale in a previous message but did not get into Joseph Litner. I can understand from a year-end tax planning point of view, but what about Litner and his selling several times over several days. Without much news, is there concern that key management are cashing out and making a jump?

Q: Despite TCW (Trican) having tripled in the past year, it is still far below my purchase price of $18.73 thus I am not too enthusiastic about the company especially considering your responses to others' questions. I also hold some shares in TDG (Trinidad) which I have suffered about a 15% loss. First, I question whether the drilling and oil services area is an area where one should invest as to me it just seems like a hole to throw money at. If I should continue to invest in the area should I perhaps sell one or both of Trican and Trinidad and then buy HWO (High Arctic Energy Services)? I do not need money immediately and have at least a five year investment horizon. As always, I appreciate very much your advice.

Q: I am up 100% on Boyd in my RRSP. I am slowly dispersing my RRSP and putting the money in my non registered account to collect dividends for a passive income lifestyle.
Boyd only pays 0.6%. With that in mind, would you replace this stock with another or buy Boyd again for its growth prospects. What would you replace this stock with in an investment account to boost dividends for income. I own most of your income and balanced stock picks.
