Q: Hi Peter and Staff
Reference a question I just sent on industrials regarding my investment philosophy vis a vis risk level and number of stocks (ETF of my own for each sector).

I need to subside other income by about the same amount as my dividends earned however in using the water the flowers and pull the weeds I invest my dividends each month and sell something(s) for my draws.

Tomorrow I will have some funds for Consumer Staples......

1, If you were to own the 4 above, in what % would you own them?

2. IF you were to add for consideration WMT, PG and COST, please regig the % between the 7

Thanks for all you do

Dennis

Q: I am trying to understand Pfizer. In September it was trading at $36 and change. Today after all the good news about the vaccine it is at $39 and change. This seems like a small increase given the good it is doing and news, etc. However, if there were reports of a few bad reactions (or worse, sorry to say), the stock would tank. Can you help me understand this or maybe I am seeing it all wrong. Thanks again.

Q: What is your opinion regarding a general cash percentage allocation in a portfolio? If you had some would you suggest an alternative vehicle for a cash holding like an EFT or a mutual fund to hold a cash instead of banks which offer a dismal rates for straight cash holdings.
Thank you for your service. It has been always very valuable for me.

Q: When Peter last appeared on BNN Market call, I’m sure he mentioned that in fact stocks that are more expensive to buy outperform stocks that are cheaper. Could I get a clarification and if true, an explanation for that statement. I know some folks may stay away from an Amazon or Shopify simply because the price for one share seems so high. Thanks

Q: I'm curious your thoughts on the threat Redfin presents to Real Matters. In Redfin's investor presentation they mention their "Title Forward" service is part of their long term goal to provide a "Complete Solution" to a homebuyer. Do you think RDFN will begin to eat REAL's lunch by being in contact with a buyer earlier in the home buying process?

Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Q: hello 5i:
You were recently asked a question about which stock would be your first purchase if you were a fund manager and you chose CRWD. A different type of question: you are now the fund manager of a Canadian Income fund: what would be your first purchase? If the answer is different, what would be your first purchase for a stock that would act more like a GIC, but with a better yield?

Q: I think that our move toward electric as well as autonomous cars might happen a lot sooner than we ever expected. Betting on one stock is probably not the way to go ( although Tesla has done well). I have been looking for an ETF and found DRIV which trades on the Nasdaq. Would you consider this a good choice for some exposure to the sector or is there another that would be better.
