Q: Curious to get your take on what other companies (can and us listed) may benefit from people embracing the winter and outdoors this year. LL Bean just announced a spike in purchases of sleds, snow shoes etc in advance of the winter. Assume DOO will benefit, what about GOOS or maybe COLM. Any others I should look at?

Q: Retired dividend-income investor. I hold CDZ for the long term and currently have a 75% position, topping up regularly to achieve a full position by year end. When originally purchased the yield was in the range of 5.4%, now it is 3.7% due to some of the constituent dividends being suspended. I believe CDZ is reconstituted annually. When this happens, what will happen with the dividend? With the potential changes to the underlying securities, will the CDZ methodology cause the dividend to increase somewhat?

I am "ok" with the current dividend. I am just wondering if I will get a bit of a bonus when the ETF is reconstituted?

Thanks for your help...Steve

Q: What do you think if this company. If memory serves me well you had mentioned it as potential high flyer, notwithstanding it’s high risk profile.
Would you add new funds to it today?
Thanks

Q: Good morning, I understand that GRN.warrants allow one to buy 1 share of GRN until June 2021 at the discounted price of 26 cents, GRN is currently trading at around 40cents . Can you explain how this works, is there a minimum holding period, it seems like such a no brainer if there are no restrictions. I must be missing something. Many thanks

Q: Hi,
Thank you for your straight forward answer to Paul's question to-day. (September 01) I presume that even though you mentioned XBAL as your pick, you wouldn't mind including VBAL/ZBAL in that space. Very similar aren't they?
IF one wants to augment this, to get steady stream of dividend income, should one add higher dividend paying ETFs like DGRC or VDY or XDV etc., More to keen to know your thoughts about enhanced indexing. How should one go about it?
Thanks.

Q: Your thoughts on Makara Mining please.Thanks.
Read Answer Asked by maurice on September 02, 2020
Q: As the demand for electric vehicles inevitably grows over the coming years the demand for certain metals will stretch the supply from current mines. Given how long it normally takes years to get new mines approved and operational I suspect that there are some mining companies with existing assets could be well placed to take advantage of this probable market gap. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks.
