Q: Dow up 700... Tsx flat..the world has stopped investing in Canada leaving it up to us to finance our companies..
Do we not have any profitable companies or assets worth investing in from a global prospective?. Even our own investors seem to be shunning any new investment in the stock market...When was the last time the countries stock exchanges were diverging as they are currently and what do you see are the fundamental problems?
Q: The old FTP reincarnated as FTG
Hate to say I owned FTP back around 25 for so.
My question. In the past they have somehow pulled the rabbit out of the hat and paid
off the coinvertables on due date. In the past they has sold assets. A wallpaper company and a swiss bank note company
They have an issue comming due dec 31 2019
Using your cyrstal ball, how likely are they to default, or force conversion if that was in the original deal.
Many Thanks
Q: Hi, I was looking at buying HD but then started looking at Canadian Tire. According to Yahoo finance valuation looks cheaper and faster growth for Canadian Tire. Other than obvious size differences, would there be any other reason not to buy CTC.A over HD? thanks
Q: Hi 5i,
B&G Foods has been on a downward trajectory for awhile now. I know there is debt but is the situation that bad? The divided is nice but should I let this one go and move on. My portfolio is well diversified but I don't like to trade if I don't need to.

Could I have your thoughts on CU.
I'm thinking about adding this to my Income cash account.
I do have some FTS and EMA in the account now.
What percent would you recommend as a max for utilities holdings in this account.

Q: MPL printed an article today from the BMG Group about a gold backed petro Yuan, this is one paragraph from the article.
In November 2017, China, India, Russia, Brazil and South Africa, the major producers and users of gold, agreed to establish their own gold trading system using their own currencies, thereby bypassing the US dollar. Implementation will begin in 2018.
Your opinion please, Thanks
