Q: I like the distribution, but this company's stock price peaked in 2015 and appears to have been going downhill ever since. It is up strongly so far this year but is there some catalyst which suggests a break from the recent past, or is it likely to continue to head downward?

Q: Hello Team. I am going to put some money in my TFSA. I have US exposure in my pension but not in my TFSA. Is there a low MER Balanced Equity ETF similar to the IWO growth ETF that you have in the growth portfolio that may do well as US markets recover.
Thank You

Q: Hello Peter and Team
my question pertains to my US trading account invested in all stocks. I have done well so far. Now I want to switch to all ETFs portfolio for more stability and less maintenance in the medium and long terms. I intend to buy the above for 20% each.
Please let me know if my strategy and choices make sens and do not hesitate to provide suggestions and adjustments.
I value your opinion as always.

Q: Hi,

I'm interested in UTX but am mostly interested in it for the company splitting up which I understand is not likely to happen until sometime in 2020 thus I'd like to think that time is on my side to buy this one. However, do you see any near term (~ 12 - 18 mo) catalysts for UTX?

Q: Good morning,
There seems to be a range of anticipated costs to Bell/Telus should they be required to eliminate Huawei hardware- could you please pass along your estimates as well as the likelihood of government indemnification for these costs. Would you buy Rogers as an alternative.
Thank you.
