Q: Hi

I hold ZSP in my non-registered account and VIG in my RRSP.

My understanding is that it doesn't really make a difference from a withholding tax perspective where I hold ZSP but that the RRSP is where I should hold VIG.

Do you agree?

Q: Portfolio Analytics indicates that across all accounts, we are underweight in the Basic Materials sector. The two stocks and CGL.C listed above are the only holdings in this sector. (CGL.C is a small holding. as it can be traded with zero commission)

Please suggest some additional Canadian and U.S. stocks in this sector to improve diversification, include reasonable entry points, and rank them in order of what to purchase first.

For a Canadian ETF, what is your opinion of XMA?

Please deduct as many credits as necessary.

Thanks

Q: St. Joe apparently has tens of thousands of acres of land free and clear, ready for development in NW Florida that are valued at 20,000 an acre but the market value is more like 2,000,000 an acre. Is the stock trading at current levels hugely undervalued or have I missed something. Thanks for your help

Q: It's been a while since we asked about SLP. Share price is largely sideways for the past year. What is your assessment of SLP and are we buyers here? I see a debt free company with next year sales and EPS growth of 12% and 21% and average price target ~40% higher than it is now.

What does the market not like?

I'm looking to add a new industrial and BYD and SLP are being considered. Where does your money go?

Q: Hi, looking to invest 70,000 in two etf’s one Canada one U.S in a rrsp. (or two U.S. etf’s as I have no U.S holding yet)
Two suggestions that are a conservative sleep at night, and longer term hold, with a 2+% dividend.
Also would like to have if possible a balanced sector allocation. I already have lots of financial and oil- gas stocks, which is heavy in Canada.
Hope this makes sense?
Thanks

Q: hi,
thank you for, and this question is in reference to, the answer to the "baby Mag 7" question a few days ago by "JR". are you able to do a short analysis of these 7, compared to the "adult" Mag 7 in regards current and future valuation, growth, debt/equity metrics. further, do you have any guess on the timeline of googl/meta etc.'s development/utilization of their own AI chips in house?
take as many points off as needed, this question seems like a bad homework assignment to me!
thanks Chris

Q: Can I ask why you may think there is such a high short position in CELH? The thought of good results and a short squeeze is exciting but there is also the thought that they know something the we don't. Thoughts?
Thank you

Q: Hi, I'm still down about 57% in Nuvei and haven't realized much of any January bounce in CTS. I'm considering a consolidation of these two into my existing VRT stake . For a one year hold, could you give me your thoughts and how you would rank these three based on potential SP appreciation. Thanks.

Q: "As reported by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, approximately 76% of business owners are anticipated to transition out of their businesses in the next decade. This could result in over $2 trillion in business assets changing hands, presenting a substantial opportunity for growth and yield in the sector."
Do you have any suggestions of companies that may benefit if this in fact is an upcoming trend?

Q: Could you please tell me which 3 GICS sectors you would expect to outperform over the next 3 years (excluding Technology), and a brief explanation of why? Also, could you please give me your top two stock picks (not ETFs) for each of those sectors ? Could be US or CAD stocks but I am looking for stocks that also pay a dividend. Greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Q: In the latest Money Saver John De Goey presents the thesis of "A Minsky Moment" Other sources have also stated that a hard landing is expected. I have stayed through all the past bear market and came out more or less unscathed by not registering a loss but have lost 40% upside. Is it time to get out at 77 years old and put my total inot CASH.TO and of the same ilk or continue to stay the course. If These are scare tatics then they are working by entertaining consideration.
Thank you for your great service
