Q: I am looking at reconfiguring my newly established RRIF into the above equities with the 3 etf’s being 25% each with the remaining 5 stocks being the remaining 25%. What is your opinion of these stocks and portfolio composition? Am I being too cute ? Thanks. Derek.

Q: I would appreciate your comments on AKE, an Australian lithium producer that trades on the TSE. It earns $1.05/year and has PE of 9.19. Revenue is growing rapidly and margin is 40%. Revenue is forecast to grow 16%/year. The Globe did a screen yesterday that showed the company 74% undervalued. Sounds too good to be true.

Q: Regarding Mark's question today about his trading in the TFSA. I am with BMO Investorline, I sold a stock and was going to use the funds to buy a GIC. I was notified by Investorline that the funds from the sale would be available in 2 days when the sale transaction would be fully completed. Made sense to me.

Q: I got a voting instruction form from INMD. Of note they are asking to increase the number of ordinary shares from 100M to 200M, essentially doubling the share count. They claim their current share count doesn't provide flexibility for future financial and capital requirements for the pursuit of opportunities. They also say the shares can be used for potential share dividends or splits should the board decide. Are there any red flags here? They did a split in 2021. Just wondering if this concerns you or is it regular business operations and the mgmt seems to know what they are doing?
Thx

Q: I hold XYLD and CIC, they are the only covered call ETFs I hold and I am new to them. Is there a way to track or find charts on their total yield? I seem to only find charts of their change in NAV which make them look like dogs, while they return 13% and 8% The other question I have about them is , why are they not drip eligible?
Thanks

Q: I had an interest charge of $13 on my TFSA statement (investorsedge CIBC). Because I sold and bought on the same day - they agreed to wave it but told me I had to wait 2 days now on my TFSA after selling to access the cash.
Comments, thoughts? Anyone else have similar or different experiences?

Q: Leaving personal portfolio situations aside...based on current market environment would 5i buy either of these companies at current levels...or do you consider them overbought...and lastly, would you buy one over the other. Let's assume a 12 month time horizon.
Many thanks as always for your great insight.

Q: Nvidia has quickly become 5% of my portfolio. I love the firm but it's been a meteoric recovery. In 2-3 years do you see it higher or is it time to take some off the table? Same question for WSP which has doubled for me now representing 4.68%

I know allocations are personal - just looking for how you manage your winners. I typically have a 6% max threshold on any one stock.
