Q: Do you know if this report is available anywhere for public access? Looks like an interesting read.

Morgan Stanley published a 104-page research report selecting 15 technology companies that will dominate the next stage of data-driven advancement,

“Every 10 years a new computing cycle emerges … Today we are at the beginning of a new cycle centered on data. The combination of more advanced semiconductor technologies, more pervasive and faster networks, and significant cloud-based data center expansion enables a new wave of data technologies. This is the first computing cycle in which multiple technologies are emerging at once - Internet of Things (IoT) connects and collects data from end points, Artificial Intelligence (AI) unlocks insights from the growing amount of stored data, Virtual or Augmented Reality (VR/AR) allows insights to be viewed in a worker’s natural environment, and Automation supplements human work with computers.”

The report lists NVIDIA Corp., Cisco Systems, Alphabet Inc., and Dassault Systemes SA among the biggest winners.

Q: I am under the impression that energy may be starting to rebound with the price of oil continuing to rise, and the outlook looking better for pricing. Gas prices are also getting very high in Canada. I have holdings in ENB, ENF, and BIR. Are than any others you would recommend, in Canada or the US, or perhaps an international energy etf, that might recover very well? I can pull some cash out of ENF to avoid being sector overweight.

Thanks

Q: HEO has pulled back to a new 52 week low. Last week there was news of "utility partners renewing and extending contracts". The price trend has been negative since then. Was there more expected from this contract, or is there something else weighing on the stock? I am considering adding to a small position.
Cheers,

Q: If Kinder Morgan Pipeline does not get built and our Canadian Cabinet does not step in to have it built what effect will this have on foreign investment coming to Canada. On BNN today it stated that Canadian Stock Market ranks 77th in the World performance. This is due to lack of interest in our Stock Market. Are we getting to a point where we are Closed for Business and we should be 100 % invested outside of Canada in USA, Europe and Emerging Markets until we regain our senses. RAK

Q: I hold this stock on the Canadian side of my portfolio in Canadian $
TD in their tax package has listed it as a US holding
When I bought originally ( on 5i recommendation in 2015? ) I thought it was a Canadian stock
Td has said because it's incorporated in US it's considered a foreign holding although the headquarters is in Canada
Is this correct? That it has to be listed on the T1135
Form ?
Appreciate your help
Ty
