Q: For a conservative investor with a 50/50 portfolio (seeking a 4% yield), what percentage of Fixed Income would you place in short and medium term US corporate Bonds? US PCE is stuck at 3%, while Canadian inflation is almost at target. My thesis is this presents a decent opportunity if there is any improvement in American inflation...while Canadian Bonds already have lower inflation priced in. Even if I'm wrong, does it still makes sense to have some US Bonds for diversification? Thanks as always.

Q: Thoughts on the latest sell off to financials and private equity. Now the AI fear is hitting credit card companies and people are saying two machines can transfer funds without needing credit cards. This is getting crazy as it seems no industry is immune to AI. Are we overreacting, or is the world as we know it going to dramatically change, in which case, what kinds of stocks do we need to keep? What sectors should we lighten up on? What sectors do the screaming buys lie?

Q: Hi,
Seems Anthropic is causing quite a few disruptions lately and today their COBOL tool has hit IBM and others. Do you see any reason to wait it out and hold if this could be used as a tax loss in a cash account? I am also concerned about yet another fairly large drop in the price on WSP. Is there any further news regarding it today? Unfortunately I hold that in a RSP account, so am not sure whether to sell or hold, and would welcome your thoughts on this as well. Many thanks for your continued good advice - it is always appreciated!
