Investment Q&A

Q: In the latest Money Saver John De Goey presents the thesis of "A Minsky Moment" Other sources have also stated that a hard landing is expected. I have stayed through all the past bear market and came out more or less unscathed by not registering a loss but have lost 40% upside. Is it time to get out at 77 years old and put my total inot CASH.TO and of the same ilk or continue to stay the course. If These are scare tatics then they are working by entertaining consideration.
Thank you for your great service

Q: Hi - of these two, which do you prefer for a growth mindset. Having said that, please feel free to say that you wouldn't invest in either at this time/prices. Lastly, do you see a possibility for AGF to be taken over (obviously with the blessing of the Goldring Family).

Q: Can I please have your thoughts re this company. It is about 6-7 months that the stock has been pretty flat - not moving much in either direction. I believe that at one time there may have been (and possibly still is) an offer on the table? I am wondering if it is time to move on... Thanks.

Q: Two questions,
Most Reits have not performed well in the last year,I hold Riocan and it seems to have done worse than most. I want some exposure to real estate going forward-Would it be a good idea to switch to another Reit at this time?If so,any suggestions?

FIE has done well for me,but has high management fee's. Would it be prudent to switch to something a little safer with lower fee's,like CPD or? Thankyou
