Q: I would like to use one or more of these companies for tax loss selling. Which two companies do you think are the best candidates to sell. Portfolio diversification will not be affected to any large degree by selling any of these stocks. Thanks.

Q: I own GAMESYS GROUP PLC REGISTERED in my TFSA and to be honest, I'm not sure how I ended up with it. It has done quite well but I'm thinking I should sell it as I have no real understanding of the company I'm not sure how to even sell the position (OTC) I think). Thoughts?

Q: Recently, a number of firms have brought out All-in-One ETFs, such as VEQT. If an investor wishes to be 100% invested, and diversified globally, then this ETF offers the advantage of rebalancing to the ETF's geographic weightings. These All-in-One ETFs are overweight Canada given global market capitalizations.

In contrast, there are ETFs offering similar low fees which represent the market capitalization of all global equities, such as XWD or VXC (w/o Canada). These ETFs are effectively rebalancing to reflect the global market capitalizations.

For a long-term hold, which investment do you feel will do better? Is an investor better off choosing say VEQT, or VXC? These two ETFs have similar ETFs. Is there a better alternative which you would recommend?

Your insights are much appreciated and valued. Thank-you.

Q: Hello,
Given the recent announcement of that new SE Asia trading block, should one consider increasing and overweighting VEE or XEC, or another Intl ETF? Thank you.

Q: I am looking to add your suggestions of Palantir and Pinterest. Can you please rank them with some of my current 5i holdings in terms of growth highest to lowest and risk highest to lowest. These are 1-2 percent fringe plays and I have a balanced portfolio so I am not worried about cap size, geographic location etc. Thanks very much as always for advice.
