Q: Hi,
My retired father holds the above stocks in a TFSA in equal positions. I'm looking to add one or two more stocks with the 2018 TFSA contribution. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Q: Hi,

This company looks interesting to me, mostly from a product/philosophy perspective...I haven't yet looked into financials.

None of your previous responses to questions on this company made any mention of management's (or the board's) ability/experience. Can you provide your insight please. Do you know any of them? What sort of previous experience do they have? Have the run public companies before?

Thanks,

Cam.

Q: Hi, I keep reading (Bill Gross and others) that bond yields have breached long term resistance levels and that we are entering a bear market in bonds. Meantime utilities and interest rate sensitive stocks are being hammered. Could you provide your view how much interest rates might rise further from here and to what extent utility stocks and others are discounting future rate hikes. Is this a potentially good buying opportunity? Thanks!

Q: Can you explain why there is some expectation of a dividend cut at Corus? Is it possible that the company is very undervalued? They seem to have plenty of cash flow and the dividend is well covered, according to figures on TD's site, and your answer in Oct/17:

"Looking at nine month numbers (most recent financials), operating cash flow was $311M, and $78.6M in dividends were paid, for a ratio of 25.3%. If one includes working capital changes in the cash flow figure (we would generally exclude this due to the short term and timing nature of working capital items), the ratio changes to 37%."

Q: My question from yesterday must be lost due to time out. Hardwood Distribution is off its 52 weeks highs, due to soft results, last quarter and possible short term impact on its China imports (11%) of its sales as a result of 200% anti-dumping import levy. Company's last NR did say that it has been positioning for past 12 months to replace the sources. I am planning to take a small position in the company to gain a stable name exposure to residential construction sector ( with large US exposure). HWD also has a solid dividend record. What are your thoughts on the company and its current valuation ? Thanks

Q: I have read today the Morningstar Credit report. I own 10K and made 23% so far :-)
Their leverage scares me, gone much higher since your last opinion on TMO, while they only have 600 mill in cash. Can I stay or sh I sell out.

Q: I am setting up an all ETF portfolio for a 20 yr plus holding period and I have a two-part question. The first part concerns the makeup of the Canadian/US component. Is it better to go with a combination of SPY and XIC or would including CDZ and VIG provide stability and perhaps a bit more growth to the mix (keeping in mind that I intend to hold at least 5% of each but don't need income yet)?

Secondly, I am looking for higher risk assets for my TFSA. I was thinking of IWO. I know that there are specialized sectors I could include but I looking for a fairly hands-off approach. Do you think this approach would serve me well - I know that it is only one asset type - or is there a better mix out there that would still be quite manageable?

Appreciate your insight.
