Investment Q&A

Q: Taking these 7 income oriented equities and looking to rank them for risk in a correction situation moving forward it seems that if we use the March 2020 correction as a guide FTS and BCE dropped the least (28%) followed by RY (33%) then TD,BNS, AQN (35-37%) with SLF trailing the pack at 46%. The reason behind any future correction could of course be different than a virus-induced shutdown of the economy. But still your ranking of safest to least safe is appreciated and if your answer would be different depending on the cause of the correction then your comment on that would be nice to have as well. Thank you for assisting me in trying to build the most secure portion of my income strategy. Any additional equities that fit in the lowest downside category that you might suggest would also be most welcome.

Q: I have been slowly existing this sector ( including pipelines ) as it is fraught with so many political, environmental, supply/ demand issues. The recent rise in o&g prices I see as temporary; the world has changed and the market has assigned a lower valuation to stocks in this industry. These are my remaining holdings ( bought at much higher prices) which comprise approximately 2 % of total portfolios. Believe I should sell them and get them off my portfolio sheet ( and out of my head ! ). Selling is much harder than buying. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Derek

Q: In reviewing the XBC 2020 year end financial call, a few things jumped out during the Q & A that I would like to hear you opinion on. (1) CEO Kurt Sorschak said he would be buying shares the following day at this depressed price. However I can't see any insider transactions according to Yahoo finance. Is there a lag time on that info being released or would he maybe not have followed through? (2) Someone asked them to comment on the departure of COO Prabhu Rao and there was essentially no response or additional information given, which would make me believe there is more to it. Is that a concern?
Thanks for the great service
