Q: Given current market volatility and the increased speculation that we are headed into a recession, what are your top 5 defensive stocks with reasonable potential for growth in Canada and US. Could you include good entry points for each.

Q: May I please I get your updated thoughts on DME? Helium seems to be in a tough spot on the supply side with explosions at the Amur Russian facility (pre-invasion) taking it offline for the rest of the year (possibly longer given the war) and the US BLM Cliffside facility likely to be offline until at least June. Seems like an opportune time to enter production. Do you think the current stock price offers a good entry for a 3-5 year+ hold?

Q: If one was to assume the Fed is going to need to be tougher than expected and they will have to be more aggressive (regardless of 5i stance), what sectors can maintain/improve their earnings growth and which could be expected to have the earnings expectations lowered from current levels under that scenario?
Thank you as always!

Q: What are your thoughts on this company? To quote "FCR remains one of a small number of REITs trading at meaningful valuation discounts versus pre-pandemic (P/NAV 74% versus 86%, P/AFFO 16.0x versus 20.0x)" I understand its debt is high but has been reducing it aggressively pre pandemic.
I know you like GRT.UN and CAR.UN, wondering where FCR ranks in relation to these 2.

Q: Everyone, you suggested a number of micro caps stocks rather than one or two. Recently you have suggested MTLO and PNP. Can you recommend another three? Individually I will invest $1000 each and with the assumption that they could go to zero. Many thanks.

Q: HI folks.
Happy Spring.
I believe that I once saw your List of Canadian Companies that pay their dividends in US dollars. Would you please send me the link.
I am slowly going to sell off and then rebuy the stocks that I own in Canadian $ ( over the the US $ side of my accounts with existing US $ cash). Is this the best plan in order to avoid FX charges and receive my dividends in US$ ? At what point is it not worth it??
Much thanks

Q: Greetings:

These three companies have not fared well over the past 12 months and I wonder about company specific issues? If I I look at other companies in the same sectors AW.UN for instance it has done pretty well compared to Restaurant Brands over the same period, and CGI hasn’t performed nearly as poorly as Open Text as another example. Do you see any changes in fundamentals for these three that concern you going forward?

Thanks,
