Q: A family member would like to build a US dollar portfolio with US stocks. My thought would be to do it along the lines of the 5iR Cdn Balance Portfolio. For example, JPMorgan would be the US stock for the BNS. With this in mind, and being able to tolerate risk and for a long-term intention, like 10 years, what would you suggest the 15+ position US portfolio would look like?....Thanks...Tom

Q: I am seeing several places saying that the price of oil may continue to climb as demand increases with global economies reopening. Hearing the possibility of WTI oil going over $100 US per barrel, The O & G stocks have been the best performers on the TSX for a while now, but still look pretty cheap on a cash flow basis, and I am wondering about how much higher this sector will go if the oil price surge continues. Say an investor is holding a basket of Canadian O & G stocks, including some of the larger and some of the smaller companies. I am wondering what would be your estimate of the increase in price of that basket of stocks under each of the following 4 scenarios: by the end of 2022, WTI oil reaches $75, $85, $95, or $105. Assuming the WTI/WCS differential remains at roughly the current $13-14. Thanks.

Q: Regarding Tak's question about selling QIPT at a loss and buying WELL. There are QIPT warrants exerciseable at CAD $6.40 up to June 29th. It is possible that warrant holders have been shorting the stock, resulting in the recent price deterioration. Since the warrant expiry is so close, it might be worth waiting until early July to see if the share price rebounds absent the short pressure. I own both and am waiting until July before making a decision to hold or sell QIPT.
