Q: One would think that if there won't be NEW pipelines built for the foreseeable future (thanks Trudeau!), then one could conclude that existing pipeline companies would be more valuable...the old supply vs demand argument => positive for the existing pipeline companies. Then one would muse about where would their future growth come from=> negative. However, I seem to remember that TRP has BILLIONs of approved projects in the cue => positive for TRP. Your thoughts on the pipeline companies in general and specifically on TRP. I have a 2/3 position and am considering topping it up. Thanks...Steve

Q: Hi there, I asked a question a little while ago about the BE Portfolio and diversity. Another member asked a follow up question where you suggested this breakdown:

"Allocations need to be highly personalized; a suggestion might be: 35% BE, 15% XIC; 40% VFV, 10% VXUS."

Is there a TSX listed ETF that would be similar to VXUS?

Thanks!

Q: I am sitting on a 31% loss in Photon Control in my Margin Account. I am considering harvesting the tax loss and re-purchasing in my TFSA after 30 days. Does this seem a reasonable strategy especially since PHO will likely take some time to turn around in this market? Alternately, if I don't sell the shares but move them to my TFSA will that trigger a tax loss? This only seems fair since if I had an unrealized capital gain I would have a deemed disposition and a tax liability.

Q: Evrim Resources (EVM) dropped about 75% today on the latest drilling results from its 100% owned Cuale project in Mexico. However this company has several other projects which are well financed through joint ventures with other gold companies. I am just wondering if this stock has been oversold since there should be substantial value in the other projects even though they are joint ventured. Could you please comment on the accuracy of my take on this as well as any further information you could provide including the cash position, overall financial health, insider ownership/recent buying or selling, and quality/experience of management. Thanks as always for your great service.
