Q: Hello Folks:
We hold US industrial stocks such as Cummins, GE, UTX, BA, CVX etc.
It appears likely the incoming U.S. administration will prioritize infrastructure spending. Do you feel this will be the case, and if so, have you some large cap stocks I could consider?
Thank You For Everything

Q: Yesterday BNN guest suggested TRP.PR.K to use as a saving account as it is a reset with a minimum 4.5% reset or better. For those of us with excess cash do you recommend using this security as an alternate to a MMF?

QQQX was pointed out to me as an interesting CEF with a 7.1% yield as well as some very interesting growth oriented holdings. What do you think about this CEF?

With thanks

Sheldon

Q: I'm starting to question why I should keep holding-on to "Peyto" for its 4.7% dividend. Natural gas lost of lot of ground and Equity Clock shows that seasonally it goes much lower during the end of summer. What concerns me the most is this: Could PeyTo be impacted by Trump's BAT? GameHost has a 5% dividend. If what I want is income and insulation from the Trump's trade war, is that a smart switch?

Q: Hello Peter,
I am currently underweight commodities and overweight technology. What would you think of selling DSG and ENGH and buying TOG and RRX? Do you think whatever incremental return expected by this change would justify the increase in volatility and risk?
Also, what are the approx wait times in terms of weeks for a portfolio review?
Regards.

Q: I'm considering Suncor or CNRL for a long term hold. Could you please discuss the merits of each with an eye to exposure to impact from potential Trump decisions. Which would you buy today and is there another company in this space I should consider (I also have ENB,VET and RRX)?
Thanks for the great service!

Q: In a follow-up to my question in regards to the ex dividend date for a dividend payout I would like to thank Mike for clarifying the drip portion of the dividend payout. My question now is what do you mean by on the day of the ex dividend that the stock does not trade with the dividend. On that day does the stock have a lower or higher price? or if you sell it on that date you don't get the dividend. Thanks.

Q: Hi everyone,

What oil company would you choose to take advantage of possible higher oil prices in the near future (in case of confrontation with Iran) while avoiding possible border tax proposals against Canadian oil? Would you choose smaller Canadian or US large cap? Which one do you think would be a safer bet SPE or SGY? Or would you recommend something with even better MANAGEMENT like VET with operations outside Canada? Or do you prefer a US company with better growth?

Thank you in advance for your promptness and insights.
