Q: Currently, I am down over 50% on PEY. I don't really want to sell at the bottom but am concerned about the sustainability of the dividend. I don't necessarily need the dividend, so would it be a good move right now to replace PEY with BIR?

Q: What do you think of an investment in Volkswagen? It seems to be recovering nicely since it's emission scandal. I'm interested in it because of their research into self-driving cars, battery technology and interest in cryptocurrency (IOTA). It seems like a forward looking company with growth potential.

Q: What do you make of the take-up on the ALC tender offer? I recognize that there were severe tax disadvantages involved but in a TFSA, RESP, RRIF, RRSP one would not care. 25% take up was even less than I expected. During 2017 there have been 2 dividend increases and the tender offer. Do you think they might be signaling improved operating performance?

Q: Good morning Peter and company,
In his will, for his wife's benefits, Warren Buffett has instructed the trustee to put 10% of the money in short-term government bonds and 90% in a very low-cost S&P 500 index fund such as Vanguard’s.
Would that be a good practice for all retired individuals living off their stock portfolios by withdrawing 4% annually, if they are prepared to live with the market's fluctuations?
Bond values have nowhere to go but down as central banks raise interest rates. Would 10% cash be better than 10% bonds today?
Thank you for your considerate answers to my questions.

Q: I recall in an answer it best to hold Magna outside of a TFSA because of the consumer cyclical nature of the business. Do I have this right?!
While I think of goeasy as financial, it is classified as consumer cyclical. Should this be held in a trading account rather than a TFSA?

Q: Morning,
Your thoughts on whether legalized cannibas sales will eat into other discretionary revenue streams such as beer and wine? Does the overall revenue pie get bigger or does the liquor industry lose out or a bit of both?

Q: I am investing the 52000 plus whatever the amount is for 2018 in my wife's TFSA. With a 10-15 year time-frame might I be considering a couple of quality ETF's or would you advise the purchase of 5 or 6 quality stocks? What might you suggest to consider? She does like the Dollarama idea which you recently recommended. Also would you recommend holding off until the new year to get the ball rolling or invest now? Thanks
Q: Can you tell me which of the above companies would, in your opinion, offer more upside potential. Are there any other companies in this sector that would be preferable in your opinion? Thanks in advance.
