Q: I have read recently that some are predicting an oil supercycle around the corner. What is your opinion about this, and if you agree, how would you suggest an investor participate? It seems to me that not too many see something like this happening, but that may be a good sign from a contrarian point of view??

Thanks, Mike

Q: Hi there, regarding the EV space, yes the frenzy continues, however, do you see it with more legs to run in the near term, say three to six months? Will stimulus spending continue to assist the EV space, considering the new US administrations go green policies to come?
Considering your previous experiences, can you see the EV space cooling off in the short term with profit taking, or do you see it still running hard for now, based on what you see in the markets today?
Any favorites today? Any you like that still look as though they have some value left in them?
Thanks!

Q: Much has been discussed about the apparent disconnect between the value of these two entities. If, as you suggest, the price discrepancy is too wide, in your opinion is it because BEP.UN is undervalued or that BEPC is overvalued? In other words, if the difference in price shrinks, which stock should move the most?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Quite a few subscribers mention that they want to increase their fixed income percentage in their portfolio. Yet they ask for your advice on bonds. In my experience, they are not the same. I think of fixed income as a GIC. Your thoughts?

Q: The old adage that selling is harder than buying is certainly true. As previously discussed I have done a double with EGLX in my TFSA in a relatively short period of time. I mentioned selling half and having the remaining 50 % as free money. This makes sense and feels good. However, because of unrelated circumstances it was not done and the good news is that the stock is up another 20% ! What to do?
I know you are a momentum investor; how would you handle this? The investment is now almost 50% of TFSA but less than 3% of total investments. Thanks. Derek

Q: Hello
In Friday's (Jan 15th) Globe & Mail, Clyde Russell warned that the 2020 bullishness on commodities may not continue into 2021 because China's massive buying spree seems to be ending (e.g. Dec imports of copper were down 8.7% from Nov's imports etc). What is your view on commodities for 2021?
thanks
