Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Do you have a view on this company. Many years ago in a previous job I dealt with them extensively but do not recall them pushing their public company status. My experince was they tended to regularly buy out rising competitors. Looking for analysis of the key metrics.

Q: Hello,

In B.C. and Alberta, Condo Stratas are having difficulty obtaining insurance or insurance premiums are increased substantially. This appears due in part to some insurers leaving B.C. and the value of the properties increasing over the last several years making replacement cost expensive.

Would the REITS that operate in Western Canada have similar issues? I’d be concerned with owning a REIT that runs rental apartments but can’t get insurance on the building.
Looking at particular at CAR.UN and REI.UN.

Thanks

Q: I'm meeting with my broker tomorrow. My results were over 20% last year. 2019 TSX return was 19%.
I'm still working full time so I find it difficult to manage my portfolio on my own.
I check all of his recommendations on 5i.
Mostly conservative dividend paying stocks. Buying on dips and trimming on rises.
Overall, I'm finding it hard to complain about what he's doing
What should I ask him when we meet tomorrow?

Q: I have about 45000 to invest and am considering setting up my own little Gold Etf ,perhaps of junior miners. This is for a Tax Free account. Does this sound like a reasonable plan and if so which companies would you recommend. I would prefer safe jurisdictions.

Q: Kirkland Lake's quarter looks pretty solid to me and they are raising the dividend and buying back shares and their production guidance looks decent. Any thoughts on why the stock is getting hammered down 5.3% on this news today? Is this a short trying to drive it down on a quarter release or am I misreading the quarter?
