VGG is currently held in my TFSA and given that VGG is a proxy for VIG (US Dividend ETDF).

Q: Hello,
Out of the three companies, can you please provide which one is a better buy and why? New Flyer seems to get contracts, but i am assuming their update on supply chain issues and now an offering is holding the stock back. However, would appreciate your thoughts in which one you think will do well. Thanks very much.

Q: Hi Peter snd staff

A question yesterday asked to rank some stocks -appears you are warming up to Viatris? Some commentators worry about drugs coming off patent - some say it is so cheap it should be re rated? Safe for a long term hold with dividend and done growth?

Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: What is your take on Manulife’s recent announcement that it will shed $2B of its US variable annuity business and using the majority of the proceeds for share buybacks? It seems the markets are pleased but is this a good business decision for the long term? I am concerned that by prioritizing share buybacks management is taking a shortcut to earnings growth rather than actually growing revenues and profits. I guess your preference to SLF’s management in the past has me extra cautious.

Q: Peter,

What happened to the Sherritt bonds due November 15,2021? Did they get paid out, refinanced or was there a haircut ?

Q: These three stocks along with cash , are equally held and is my entire TFSA. This represents only 2.5 % of my combined non registered account and RRSP ( RIF next year).
My feeling ( and performance )on the stocks are :

AC: ( Even )Covid rebound extent still in question, high oil prices a drag
EIF: ( Up ) solid dividend, owned long time with good results
EGLX: ( Up ) , most volatile, doing the right things in a growing sector

Am willing to take a fair degree of risk. Your opinion on the portfolio is appreciated. How would you adjust and what are some of your recommended stocks ? Thanks. Derek

Q: Hi Everyone!! They halted trading of the stock today. I think they were selling shares to raise money to take care of debt and get more working capital. What are your thoughts on this? Is this a positive move for the company and is it customary to halt trade when this sort of thing is happening? Cheers, Tamara

Q: Do you think there will be a higher bid for COR? Thanks to your recommendation, I bought it in my RRSP a few years ago. It's currently above the takeover price, and I'm just wondering if it's worth holding onto.

Thank you for all that you do.

Q: 10:55 AM 11/15/2021
I am interested in Canadian companies that stockpile data and business information and provide this information on a one-time or subscription basis for reoccurring income. It seems they have strong moats
I really like dividends but I sense that these may all really all growth companies except for ISV
I am currently looking at DND, TRI, and ISV so far
Are there other companies with similar businesses?
Could you please compare all these companies for expected share price growth, debt, POR, dividend growth, etc., and place them in a list of desirability.
Is it better to forego a nice dividend as in ISV, and just go for growth?
If that's the case then why not just cut to the chase and buy CSU in our TFSAs and wait 10+ years?
Thank you.......... Paul W. K.

Q: 5i, good morning
My question is on the new 3% surtax on big banks, insurance proposed by the current government, how (if any) would affect to investors holding banks/insurers stocks, or even a simple saving account!
Is it time to move away from Bank/Insurance investments?
Thank you!
