Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and team,

There are 8 stocks in my TFSA. REAL is 5% and LSPD also is 5% of the value of my TFSA. Which of the 2 stocks do you think I should buy more of?

A more broader question, is 8 stocks in a TFSA too many? Should I try to amalgamate to 5-6 stocks?

Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter, I'm just wondering about any new views since the 3rd of Sept comment. Would this also be a good play on the vaccine investments for 2021. Each person needs 2 doses - that's a lot of syringes and needles! Would Becton benefit or is there too many competition suppliers out there (market share?) and/or doesn't make too much towards its total annual profits? Thanks.

Q: Peter and Team:
Further to my previous question on specific preferreds. Under what circumstances might the price rise from 13.50 to let's say 20.00. When the supply of money tightens, and it will, companies in any specific sector will just issue new shares with a better format and that will further depress the old issues. They are under no obligation to increase the +plus amount or to redeem the shares.
perhaps they might decrease it. I am referring here to rate reset shares. They already have their $ 25.00. Just like when the banks came out with minimum resets. If a holder wants out they must sell on the market and move on. Then there is also equity risk when the market falls. Could be a big price to pay for a little extra interest. What about the people who paid $ 25.00 and they are now $ 12.00 or lower. It appears that is why you don't follow them very closely.
It seems to be a deck loaded in favour of the issuer. Please refute. Thanks for your help.
Ben.

Q: I usually see headlines such as these: J.P. Morgan Poaches $1.2 Billion Alex. Brown Advisor Team

I understand the advisors are moving over but does it mean their customers whose money they are investing/managing automatically move too or is the headline meant to show how much assets the team was managing? I never really understand these poaches but I see a lot of them happening in the US.

Thanks
