Q: In my balanced cash account I hold CBH as the fixed income portion and while I thought the laddered approach would be beneficial, it has not performed well over the past years. After reading about Real Bond ETF's, I am wondering if I should replace my CBH with a real bond ETF (either XRB or ZRR) for the next few years. What do you think of that strategy? FYI, I also hold XBB in my RSP.

Q: I've been looking for stocks with favourable value metrics which also demonstrate solid earnings growth and have come up with the above list. It's a little heavy on the retail end which worries me somewhat with covid still being a thing. At the same time, retail stocks are enjoying solid sales and anecdotally, it seems to me that people are anxious to get out there and spend.

With respect to Doo, H&R Block, WSM, and BBY, these have seen decent levels of share repurchases which is appealing for obvious reasons.

What do you think of my list with a view to holding and forgetting for at least one year? Anything you would cut out? I don't like foot locker as a store for instance but the financials appear attractive. Thank you as always,

Jason

Q: What is your view on how Chinese companies listed in US exchanges are being affected by the delisting threats and the Chinese government response. Has this increased investment risk in Chinese companies? I currently have a position in XPEV and am trying to reassess if I should continue holding it.

Q: My wife and I are in our mid-late 70's and only have investments in RRIFs.

We don't have any stocks in the materials sector and I would like to add something that has either solid growth potential or pays a dividend to add a bit more balance. I once invested in gold (BTO) and didn't do well, so I'm not particularly interested in that unless it meets the criteria above.

I am, however open to all suggestions. I have 6% space to allocate to your recommendations, so please advise accordingly.

Q: Australia seems uniquely positioned to join and / or lead the green energy wave with both ample green resources and rich mineral deposits.
Whereas electric may have "won" the automotive market, still up for grabs are the heavy industrial applications - trucking, shipping, aviation, steel production....
Reference the Fortesque move into green steel production via green hydrogen.
Do you see any opportunities here, how to participate? When will this put pressure on conventional steel like LIF?

Thanks,

Jim

Q: My REIT stocks have taken off in the last month or so as yields have pulled back. Interest rates can’t stay this low for too long as the BOC has already started tapering despite no action from the Fed. Do you think the move in REITs is overdone and should I trim and wait for a pullback as rates slowly rise? Do you think the disconnect between BOC and Fed policy will lead to further appreciation in the CAD?

Thank you,
Jason
