Q: Hi - do you have an opinion on investing in the Uranium market with the potential globally for increased nuclear power generation? If a positive view, do you prefer owning CCO or Sprott for exposure...and is it worthwhile to start building a position now? Thanks as always.

Q: I am considering dipping my toe into the bond market via ETFs. I know the market is forward-looking as it pertains to equities but does the same hold true in the same way for bonds? Would pricing for XLB, for example, have likely already factored in expected rate increases for the next couple of months or do bonds tend to reprice only after the fact?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Today I harvested a capital loss with ZRE and plan to rebuy after 30 days. I wanted to double check the earliest day I could rebuy, should I wish to do so.

"Sale" date was Oct 18 and the "settlement" date would be Oct 20. I understand it is "calendar" days, so I believe the earliest date from the sale date would be = Nov 17.

Agree?

Thanks...Steve

Q: Hello, I hold BEPC, CSU in my Canadian account. I thought it was mentioned in the past that the shares can be kept in the CDN account but dividends can be put in the US Acct to avoid brokerage fees so I called TD Waterhouse and they said it’s not possible without transferring the shares to the USD Acct. Did I misunderstand? Is there another way around this?

Q: I note in a recent reply, you suggested the anticipated growth rate in 2023 for AQN was 19%, while BIPC was -12%. This being the case, would you suggest I sell BIPC (with a small capital loss) and purchase AQN?

Q: My Cash account. My plan is to top up existing positions in the following equities:
LIFE, AD.UN, BNS, WSP.

My thoughts were to buy in this order = LIFE (up overall, small capital loss on paper), AD (up lots, ETF-like stock), BNS (small paper loss), WSP (sensitive to economy-related projects?).

Could you please provide the sequence that you would buy these and why. The funds are available now, but I plan to spread out my purchases over time.

Thanks for your help....Steve

Q: UTWO:US and UTEN:US are ETFs of US Treasury bills: UTEN of US ten-year treasury bills, UTWO of the two-year. Both ScotiaiTRADE and RBC-DI make it difficult to buy US T-bills hence my interest in bond ETFs. Would you recommend — at THIS time— an ETF that holds’ 2 year and 10-year T-bills? ETF.com describes these as single-bond passively managed ETFs. RBC-DI shows UTEN:us has a yield of approximately 4.8 % pa and about 2.1 % on UTWO TODAY. For comparison, 2.5% is the approximate yield on US Money Market funds.

Is it worth buying either one or both of the above-noted bond ETFs? I am sure you have better ideas than the above ETFs, so would appreciate your suggestions of instruments that are better than the ones I have noted above.
