Q: I have just sold all our shares in SPB:CA despite the high dividend. It has been languishing for too long and I'm sure there is a better investment somewhere in the energy industry.
It was our only stock in the energy industry and we should replace like for like.
What are your best suggestions for the next 3-5 years for total ROI in a RIF?

Q: I‘m a happy shareholder of BBD since 2022. I took profit from time to time including early May’24.
I don’t understand the rise from $63 to $91 since earnings release (up 16% on Wednesday).
BBD got many upgrades from analysts around $100, but this stock is not cheap anymore.
Close to a MEME stock? Or any good news this week? Thanks for your services and patience.

Q: Hi, Is there a site giving the actual yield of all the HISA ETF’s? The distributions are already decreasing. I guess they are pretty similar, but they change monthly. PS: I do not think the dividend/yield on 5iResearch MarketData are up-to-date. Thanks.

Q: I thought I would wait till NVDA reported to ask my question. I bought a position SMCI (25) shares in the the mid $6's thinking this would be a short-term momentum play. Now I'm thinking, do I stay the course for 1-2 years and ride this volatile stock even longer? Your thoughts please. Thank you David

Long term price performance looks very good and it seem like a good valuation to me. Do you seen any red flags? Any comments would be appreciated because it seems like a good 2% position to have in a TFSA. Thanks

Q: I read a more detailed US legal article on the TD money laundering scandal in NY/NJ and was quite disturbed. It has been a core holding of mine for a full decade. Thinking of taking it down from a full to a half position while the DOJ probe and further sanctions play out. Would you caution against this at this time (with damage already done to stock) or do you think its a prudent move?

Q: Hi,
I'm just reading about Gates joining Buffett in selling what seems to me to be a large amount of the above noted stocks, and I'm wondering if you've any thoughts on it. Is this typical for these two powerhouse guys to do this every once in a while, or might this time be different? Given the political situation in the US and other, global issues, I have to wonder if they are in a better position than most to have insight on something. I realize this is a speculative question, but would still value your opinion - many thanks!
