Q: I bought both of the Canadian Rails in a TFSA 1 1/2-2 years back and they haven't done much. I assume much of the underperformance is related to the tariff issue, but historically if i'm correct, have been very good investments over multi year periods.
With the increase in diesel prices do the rails stand to gain traction brought about by cargo being pushed from truck to rail and how do you perceive the relevant cost efficiencies of rail vs truck assuming both are likely powered by diesel?
Do you see any reason for a breakout of these stocks that have traded in a range for some time?
Q: hi,
a 5 year chart shows diminishing share price of ZWU, and slight increase in ZUT. can you explain this? is this because the covered call strategy is somehow eroding value/share over longer periods of time? it seems to be too much of a discrepancy to be explained by getting having to sell the underlying equities occasionally due to the call options in a rising utility equity market?? your thoughts would be most appreciated.
Q: Hello
Knight had good results lately. Are there other reasons for the constant surge in price given that the market overall is volatile? Also is it finally time to load up on it? Thank you
Q: I recently purchased the PIN Purpose Monthly Income Fund. The Purpose website shows it currently has a large weighting in high-yield corporate bonds, a fair chunk in real assets along with dividend paying equities. How would you compare this to ZMI as a small weighting for med risk retirees seeking income and inflation protection?
Portfolio Analytics is counting it as 100% equity. I also see a discrepancy for the AUM of the fund (8mm vs 40mm) on the 5i profile page. Can this be corrected?
Q: I am thinking of buying the following ETF's: VCNS, XEF, XIU, WXM, ZSP, VEE, ZAG,VVL, XQQ and XUT. Which of the following accounts: TFSA, FHSA, Non-Registered, and RSP, would be best for Canadian tax reasons to put each one in?
Q: Re. ongoing additions or deletions or modifications to any of the model portfolios 1.where do I find these changes? 2. does your system alert us on the exact day any change is made ? thanks Richard
Q: They have permits for their new mill project, (couple years down the road). I presume they will have to raise money for this project. What are your thoughts on Dension Mines. Would you be a buy, sell, or hold? If I could elaborate on your answer.
Thank you for your good service, it is appreciated.

Q: I'm confused about when it makes sense to do tax loss selling. I am down almost 30% in CSU and LMN. Does it make sense for me to sell and register the loss and possibly rebuy after the 30 day wait? I am an older senior and don't have a lot of time to patiently wait for recovery, and despite the speed with which it dropped, I suspect recovery will be much longer. My main confusion, I think, is not really understanding how tax loss selling actually works.
Q: I currently hold a 2% position in GOOG in my TFSA and looking to deploy new funds amounting to 1,5%. Debating between adding to GOOG or diversifying with new position into NVDA. Which do you consider to have long term growth from these levels? Thank you.
