Q: Hi team,
I was looking at adding to my position in Veev. However, to do that I would be looking at trimming either twlo or Now. Would this be advisable? How would you compare Veev to the other 2 as far as long term growth prospects? Note my positions in both twlo and now are approx 50% larger than my position in Veev . Thank You

Q: These are my biggest losers across my accounts. What are their prospects? Are any worth keeping, or is just time to move on? I don’t mind some risk, but don’t want to hold the hopeless ones any longer.

Q: Safehold realty (SAFE) was a top pick of real estate expert Michelle Wearing recently. Can I get your opinion on this relatively new stock and your opinion on their business model. She likened it to a hundred year bond, yet if they can achieve their goal of increasing the distribution at twice the rate of inflation that is obviously better than a bond, safety comparisons aside.

As a US REIT the majority of the distribution is return of capital. Am I correct that this would be the same tax treatment as a Canadian Reit, lowering my adjusted cost base. And how would the remainder of the distribution be taxed?
Finally what do you think of their major shareholder getting management fees, while many don’t like those sort of arrangements I have owned some similar companies where it has worked out well for me..

Q: I'm holding an original $5,000 position in TOU that is down 67%.which has been held from quite some time.Question - With the recent pop in TOU market price, do I sell or just follow the price momentum and hold for a future sell?
Context - There is a 2020 taxable capital gain that would more than offset the TOU loss. But there is no rush to sell....just would like to get best price and exit this TOU position.....Tom

Q: Thank you all 5I staff for your precious support.
My question is more about Nat gas in general. There is a rise in the price of nat gas as a commodity and also with the related companies . What do you think is behind the rise ? Do you see this move as a momentum move or more secular and sustainable? What would you think about completing my energy exposure with the 2 companies above. I'm retired and own Enbridge in sufficient value.
