Q: Hello All,
The silence is deafening. Since Lehman Bros., Central Banks have been in lock step in printing money and keeping interest rates artificially low. Both inflationary. Commodity prices have plunged. World economies have been relatively healthy.
The stock markets and real estate have performed. WHY THE DOLDRUMS IN COMMODITIES? No one seems to be discussing the implication of such huge worldwide debt and how we work ourselves back to normality. Such silence! Your thoughts, please.

Q: Having just noticed that the two main principals in PHM "privately disposed" of over 13 million shares each, I am wondering if my recent praise was premature. What is the difference between a disposition being carried out privately or publicly? Would privately mean they may have simply transferred their shares to a separate company as both now show zero shares on Canadian Insider?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Q: Confusion abounds me again, a previous question on portfolio allocation consisted of 25% Income ,55% Equity and 20% Growth (high risk) ... I have not bought into high risk portfolio and my other are a 50/50 split ... I am 59 and in the first year of retirement and have set up LIF,RIF etc to access monthly payments. And now your latest news letter says to make sure I have international diversification in my portfolio(s) ... do these 2 portfolios , Income and Equity cover this international allocation?? Disclosure ,I am a follower and am emulating these portfolios to a T , TY for all you have done for all of us.
Q: I would appreciate your thoughts on the movement in price today (up nearly 10% today). I realize price is still down 20% from 3-months ago, is this simply the market adjusting as the stock was oversold, or was there an announcement today I'm missing. Appreciate your insight.
Q: Dear Peter and team:
I know in your recent answer to a question about TFSA, you had suggested a US stock and an ETF (VIG) It is my understanding that US withholding tax applies to TFSA. (not to RRSP.
Therefore wouldn't it be prudent to buy either Canadian stocks in TFSA or pure play growth stocks from the US or Europe or Asia. My question then is this: what are such pure play growth stocks in the US/Rest of the world that I can hold in my TFSA without worrying about withholding tax?
Always appreciate your measured answers.

Q: Good-day!
My niece (33 years old, well paid employment) has about $15K to invest, will add at least $10K every year, has no idea what a dividend is (and doesn’t want to know!), and wants my advice. I am suggesting a TFSA with probably a few ETFs, or possibly a basic 3 or 4 stock “beginner’s” portfolio inside the TFSA. For a long term holding I would appreciate it if you could you provide a few suggestions both from ETFs and a few basic stocks, perhaps with the thought of a minimum of $5K in each, maybe incorporating drip. This would all come with the usual wish list of course of some foreign (US at least) exposure, maybe some dividend income, secure payout ratios, reasonable ROE, and capital security. Not too much to ask, of course! ... and if I do ever spark her interest in the investing melee, then my first advice will be a subscription here!
(This question may have already made it to you earlier this afternoon, but I am unsure after some computer hiccupping after I pushed send)
