Q: Hello and Happy New Year,

Can you please provide a simple ETF portfolio for the average middle-class Canadian, with no private pension, and who has some time to watch the markets but not a lot, and who just wants to commit to a dollar-cost averaging investing plan for the next 20 years?

Thanks,
Robert

Happy New Year. Any opinion on when shareholders should expect an update from Persistence Capital Partner on the latest offer? Is there a guideline that companies are required to follow, provide update etc . I believe the old offer was to close in January and the SP continues to drift on no news.
Thanks,

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I realize shipping stocks are cyclical...Not sure if the wars or new supply chains are a positive or negative. What I mean is they could charge higher rates if there is risk involved. In any event I have held this stock for too many years and am even. However at this point it appears to be "dead-money"...if you know what I mean. Can you see any reason to be patient for a few more quarters? Thanks as always...your opinion is always a voice of reason!

Q: What are your current thoughts on KEYS? I'm up 55% and thinking of buying some more, maybe increase my overall weighting to 5%. The latest numbers seem positive and I like that they are getting involved on EV battery testing and charging. EV battery charging seems to be a problem if you don't drive a Tesla. Probably would need to sell some NVDA to raise the USD which is not ideal but of course our NVDA weighting is too high. Also is KEYS an Industrial Company? Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
