Q: Hello. I don't understand what happened with these stocks. I'd held almost a full position on hr.un for about a year. A couple of months ago they made some kind of move and I was awarded pmz.un stocks. Suddenly I showed about a 20% loss on my hr.un holdings which is pretty well equal to the current value of my PMZ holding. I'm wondering if I should sell both and re-invest in better real estate stocks or sell one or the other and put all the proceeds into just one of these companies? Thanks.

Q: Hi,
I am puzzled by Intact's jump in price today, it isn't earnings related, but seems rather significant. Also, given that they have just issued preferred's at 5.25%, would you rate these as a good addition to a diversified portfolio looking to add a lower volatility holding for income? Thanks for your valued thoughts.

Q: I own some Shell and BP shares. I heard that Shell is planning to unload a lot of its Russian assets and may take a massive accounting hit. BP also has a lot of Russian interests. Should I be thinking of selling Shell and BP, given these risks? I was thinking of holding on to them for the longer term, but all this Russian uncertainty has given me second thoughts. Can you comment?

Q: Can you please comment on earnings. Was there anything that stood out in the conference call (either good or bad). Portfolio Analytics notes I should increase my exposure to consumer defensive and US holdings. Would you recommend starting a position in COST within an RRSP? Lastly, from an educational stand point, what metrics/factors (financial and non-financial) are good to look at when exploring/assessing a business such as Costco.

Q: I am a retired investor and rely upon the dividends in my RRIF for income. I have owned FSZ for many years and while it pays a nice dividend (8%) it has not grown, in fact its down since I purchased it. I want to replace it.

The listed stocks pay dividends ranging from 3.9% to 5.1%. My question is which of the stocks would make a good replacement with the dividend and growth profile that will exceed the dividend of FSZ. Please list with the best first and also indicate if the risk is higher or lower than FSZ.

I have been a member for a few years now and would like to congratulate you on your service and unbiased answers. It definitely has been financially rewarding for me.

Q: Hi Team,
I have been watching TOI closely. Recently (today for example most my tech are down 5-8% range). Yet TOI is up 3% as of writing this. It seems to have great support around the $85 level. Do you think that the bottom may be close to in for TOI, or is it just bouncing around until the next leg down do you figure? I know this is only your best guess, but value your opinion. I guess what I am looking for is..is it time to add to this name? Also...could you throw in some best conviction names either Cnd or US that you think are stupidly oversold right now that you think would be great buys for a 5yr plus hold? Thanks!
Shane.

Q: I know the environment is iffy, but with tech on sale, and other tech (also on sale) flush cash, when do the bigger fish start gobbling up the smaller fish, and what, in your opinion, is holding them back? Thank-you.

Q: Two years ago, energy fund managers were pounding the table to buy oil and gas stocks.
Whoever listened did great.
Now tech prices continue to plummet. The prices are off 60-80%.
Should I pick a few and wait two years for a similar upsurge?
Would you buy shop, lspd, dcbo, toi, nvei or nvda and please rank them with a brief overview.
Thank you.
