Q: I bought BCE two or three years ago and watched its value peak about 3 times before settling back down now to levels pretty much where I bought it. In the meantime, I've had the benefit of a good dividend.

When I look at the 3 year chart, it is beginning to look encouraging again. so I was thinking that maybe some folks are buying into the telecoms because they like the stability offered in an economic downturn. I was about ready to sell and look for something with a bit more growth. Maybe I should hang on?

Would you recommend anything else with a similar dividend and stability in this economic environment?

Q: Ryan and Peter,
I'm looking to buy a company that has good rebound potential once the market turns. SIS AND NFI both seem to be oversold. In your opinion, which one looks like it is poised to impove its share price the most once this market improves. Which other companies, (sector doesn't matter) have excellent rebound potential. Thanks for your advice.

Q: I have a question about VFV and index ETFs generally. If equity markets are facing headwinds in the next year or so as some analysts believe, would this be the wrong time to sell individual stocks in my investment account and go to index funds? My goal is to simplify and de-risk my portfolio and reduce some volatility. Thanks for your help, Ron

Q: Good morning 5i,
I believe you have said somewhere that you would prefer the American banks at the current moment. I am wondering if I am remembering correctly and if so, would you stand by that, and again if so, would you buy bac now instead of BNS, all things being equal.
thanks as always

Q: Kinaxis has grown significantly over the past few years. While
the company has solidly managed growth to date, a key risk is the
company’s ability to manage and support its rapid growth and the challenges and
difficulties associated with managing a larger, more complex business. In your view, does KXS current management have the ability to scale KXS and take the company to the next level internationally?

Q: This ETF has shown on May 31,2018 95 million Outstdg shares. On Nov 1 they had 99 million shares. which in my opinion diluted the value of my shares.??
I called them and they said, that they had to issue new shares as Institutional clients asked for it.I said why they did not come on the open market and bid up the price. He said it doesn't work that way. I said isn't it like a Central Bank who just prints more money.Can you clarify who is right? Am confused.Art

Q: Hi, I’m a little low on oil and reits and was thinking of vermillion or summit to add at this time. Vermillion because of a possible rebound and dividend, or Summit as it is in a nice uptread but may be soon done? I have been caught a few times buying high and watching it go south.
Would you have a clear idea which way to go or a better alternative? I don’t want to buy both because of limited funds
Thanks
