Q: Shopify has continued to record new highs almost every week. Do you think the fundamentals and growth potential support this or is it moving because it is a very popular stock. I have sold half my position and am wondering if it is time to sell the rest. Thank you.

Q: Hi team,

Just wanted to let Stuart know that people in the North used to order many things on Amazon until the company started charging for deliveries a few years ago. All Amazon shopping stopped after that as the cost of shipping often was more than that of the item itself. I am not an investor in NWC, but I can assure you that they have a stronghold in most of the communities North of the 60. I live in the Arctic!

Hope this helps!

Q: Good morning,

I currently have fixed income as 30% of my portfolio, made up right now of ZAG and CPD (15% each). CPD is dripping and within a few more months of contributions ZAG will be too. Once they are both dripping, what would be the next Canadian-listed fixed income ETF you would add to compliment those two? Thanks in advance.
