Q: hi,
can I get your latest thoughts on DND as a company, and it's prospects as an investment now. and your thoughts on their recent lawsuit against a smaller firm doing similar stuff DND does, except not gouging customers on price ( similar to the predatory practices of several drug companies ). their business model seems out of touch with today's values.

Q: Hi, I'm slowly transitioning from a growth portfolio to a dividend portfolio for retirement, starting with positions in JEPI and JEPQ. Can you suggest a couple of US and a couple of Canadian ETFs with high dividends (+6%) that would complement these two? Thanks!

Q: Hi, thanks to Peter, I am a long-term holder of CSU. As a result, I now have smaller positions in Lumine and Topicus as well, and while I have added to each of those special dividend holdings, I have three fairly similar holdings. I'm looking to pare down my holdings and wondering if you can divine which of the two spin-offs I should keep and add to with the sale of the other? I was leaning to dump TOI because of it's European exposure and it bears similarities to being a younger Constellation while Lumine may be more innovative and unique.
Please comment.

Q: I've been continuing to hold NBLY and watching it continue to drop. It is now a 1% portfolio position. I read your answer about NBLY yesterday and wasn't entirely encouraged by the forward P/E and margins. For a 40 y/o investor who holds this stock in a LIRA (long term horizon), are the prospects so bright that we should wait out the eventual recovery? Or should I look to buy something with better potential in the shorter term?

Q: Hi Guys

NWC has had quite a decline from over $38 a month ago to a little over $30 today. What are your thoughts about the company at this point. Is it a buy with the price drop, is their market dominance in their markets somehow altered, will they return to form in the next year or so, and is it a buy at this price?

Much thanks

Q: Your comments on the increased taxation on the dividends for this equity are noted but does that apply to US persons holding shares in their US domiciled account or just to non-US shareholders holding in say a Canadian equity account? Also the capital appreciation of this equity over the last 3 years dwarfs an Enbridge. What do you think of this obvious discrepancy moving forward should interest rates peak and hold at current levels - would the outperformance likely continue in your view? What concerns might you have surrounding PAA compared with Enbridge? Would you buy this one for a longer term hold if high taxation of dividend isn't considered? Thank you for your input.

Q: Looking to clear out some holdings that are not performing. AND is near its 52 week low and going lower highs and lower lows. HLF is a flattish chart and is about where it was 2.5 years ago. I’m down 9.5% and 11% respectively. Could use to put the money someplace else?
Thanks

Q: Hi Folks,


Retired income investor.
I recently disposed of FSZ and am now thinking I should do the same with RNW and NWH. All down considerably since acquired!
Do you think it is best to eliminate these two or hold?
Also please suggest your safest alternatives with reasonably good yields.

Thanks very much.

Q: your thoughts on Bitcoin? Not that they are right but it seems many huge asset managers are becoming interested again. For now, I believe Bitcoin is a store of value and is yet to make the tranition to unit of account. In terms of asset allocation, would it make sense to allocate a small percentage of one's portfolio 'in case it catches on'? Do you see an asymmetric upside vs limited downside and would that not justify a small position?
