Q: What do you think of this company? Seems cheap to me. They aggressively position themselves for further growth through M&A. Would you buy? Currently own AAPL
In a second question, If AAPL was to build an electric car wouldn't you think that HNHPF would have a chance to partner somehow? Are there some hints from APPL management that they will eventually move to electric cars? Lots of rumors but any words from AAPL ?
Thank you.
Yves

Q: Hi Team,

I have owned IPL for 18 years now and have incurred a loss over that period. Regarding the purchase of this company by Brookfield Infrastructure; if I accept their offer (cash/stock etc.) am I still able to claim my loss as a capital loss even though in my mind no real disposition has taken place? I cannot find succinct enough information on this in order to make my decision.

Thank you so much,
Dean

Q: I would like to double my Health sector % as recommended by Portfolio Analytics. I could also increase US portion of my portfolio but either Can or US is fine.
Current holdings and percentage of total portfolio are:
GUD (.75%), WELL (2.85%), ABBV (.81%)
Could increase existing holdings but have also been looking at US stocks CI and MED.
Your thoughts on approach and recommendations, including additions/deletions/other equities I have not mentioned would be appreciated. Dividend is not essential.
As always, many thanks.

Q: This company just reported, seems to be a sizeable miss on revenues, how much was the miss on earnings? Their customer base continues to expand, along with their continually growing product offering. Is today's sell-off a good entry point, or should this company be considered too high risk, too volatile?
Thank you as always...

Q: Hello Peter and team;

I would appreciate your opinion on Cleveland Cliffs in particular and the outlook for steel industry in general. I already own Reliance Steel and cannot decide if I should increase my exposure to the industry; and if I do then diversify with CLF or double down on RS. I know you like RS but would be interested in knowing your opinion of CLF relative to RS as well.
Have an exposure through the coking coal space as well(SXC). If you are bullish on the sector, what would be your limit on sector exposure?
