Q: I have been reviewing your Income Portfolio. We have decided to bring all of the assets remaining with an Investment Company over to our non-registered account. Tired of paying the high fees and realizing that the rate of return is less than what we have been achieving ourselves over the past 5 years, in part due to the advice received through all the questions and answers on various topics we are able to read each day!
Considering the markets today, would you invest in the Income Portfolio in total ? Over what period of time? What changes you would make? Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Q: Since the announcement of the new USMCA agreement I've noticed the Canadian market trending downwards, even the Balanced portfolio has taken a broad based hit from it. Any concerns you can see with the agreement that could be causing this distortion (while the US market rallies)? Or is this more sector specific?
Q: What do you think of the rumour that Amazon or Verizon may be interested in Lions Gate? I have been holding this company for a few years and I am thinking of adding more.
Q: I noticed that insiders sold $51,322,547 worth of stock in the last 60 days. That would amount to well over a million shares in my opinion. Should I sell too?

Q: "AltaGas Announces the Filing of an Amended and Restated Prospectus for the Initial Public Offering of AltaGas Canada Inc., which Includes AltaGas' Canadian Utilities and Certain Renewable Power Assets in Canada"
What are they doing? Does this make sense?
Q: PETS has attractive fundamentals, including for example : high ROE, strong balance sheet, a business model that appears to have much promise for the future. The market is not impressed and continues aggressively to push share price down-down-down. Please have a look at your Bloomberg and do tell: what am missing! I like the numbers, the business and am tempted to initiate a position. I am interested in buying but hesitate because the market at large is ignoring--- if not rudely shunning--- this company. What risks do I not see? The business model SEEMS good. Do you think its moat to be reasonably attractive? Does this venture have good prospects going forward?
Q: I understand the new issue of Altagas Canada will be $15.50 to $18. Is this a reasonable price and is there any reason that present owners of Altagas should own both? Can we expect this sale to further reduce the value of Altagas?
Q: Next year I have to withdraw 5.28% from my RRIF account. Instead of investing the amount in a GIC for 1year, what dividend stocks would you recommend for 1 year that gives me a good dividend, are relatively safe and has some growth. Or is better to go to a GIC?
Q: Hi, For several weeks, Constellation Software has been trading in a range $920 -$980.
Even on strong market days, stock is not bale to break out of this range. This is after stock touching a high of $1135 and later trading as low as $897 ( 20% swing). There has been no news. Do you think, the stock is expensive or any other reason of this lackluster performance ? Do you see share price back up in $1100 + range over next 12-18 months, if I need to trim my position ? Thanks
Q: I am currently sitting with a 25% capital loss if I crystallize. Would you sell and buy back in 30 days, sell and not buy back or hold. Please advise why you would do the action you recommend.
Q: Lads the above are my US dollar income tilt portfolio holdings. My goal is to add some US cash to stable dividend payers (some of these and perhaps some others you can suggest). Two questions I have - first, could you possibly rank these 9 from most stable to least so I can consider which ones are the most stable to add to my current holding and second, can you recommend some other US equities providing a minimum 3% dividend that you view as stable holdings. Thanks as always for your guidance.
