Q: Hi Ryan + Group Presently I am over invested in WFP @$2:10 the thought was that the softwood lumber agreement risk was built in. Clearly now @$1:80- $1:90 range I would say it was not. My question is when I sell it (not if but when) what sectors / specific stock would you recommend Presently the market value is approx $200,000 . Thanks for your valued service

Q: A recent article by Larry Bermann in the Globe suggested that infrastructure spending to " repair potholes and bridges" would produce limited economic benefit because of the short term nature
of this spending.Money would be better spent on educating people
to adapt to the future realities of employment.In the interim
he has suggested allocating funds to ZWU as a an income source.
Another columnist suggests avoiding ZWU and sticking with ZUT
because of better long term growth.
What is your opinion of impending infrastructure spending and should ZWU be considered over ZUT? Thanks, Joe

Q: I have very little gold or silver or other precious metals stocks. Silver Wheaton seems a bit beat up. As I know you are good with a small amount of such holdings in a larger portfolio , would SLW be a good choice in your view? Or would you prefer AEM or some other stock at the moment? Thank you!

Q: Can you please explain the difference between UL and UN (seemingly the same stock), and which one a Canadian retail investor should prefer and why. Also, given the large drop it has suffered in the past month, what do you think the reason is, and do you see it as a good long-term investment. Thank you!
