Q: Hello Peter and Team
my question pertains to my US trading account invested in all stocks. I have done well so far. Now I want to switch to all ETFs portfolio for more stability and less maintenance in the medium and long terms. I intend to buy the above for 20% each.
Please let me know if my strategy and choices make sens and do not hesitate to provide suggestions and adjustments.
I value your opinion as always.

Q: Hi,

I'm interested in UTX but am mostly interested in it for the company splitting up which I understand is not likely to happen until sometime in 2020 thus I'd like to think that time is on my side to buy this one. However, do you see any near term (~ 12 - 18 mo) catalysts for UTX?

Q: Please comments current status of AGB. I bought in at $1.80 over a year, it just go up and down, didn’t break out like other gold stock. Is it worth keeping or sell? Any debt? Ownership%? Cost per ounce produce? grow potential? Valuation improves? Cash flow, revenue, when report earning? If you didn’t like AGB, would recommend other better junior gold stock? (I own WDO)

Q: I hold the common shares of BK & PVD the split product issued by Quadravest and have been happy for about 12 years even when they suspended pay out for a while.
I would like to know your take on their preferreds. BK.PR.A & PVD.PR.A as to their distribution safety compared to their underlining assets ( banks and insurance companies). Would you advise holding or buy some of the preferred or would see holding a bank ETF as better. Your overall view of the above would be appreciated.
