Q: I’m a senior but still like to maintain a majority weighting to stocks. I am concerned though about market valuations and the strength of the whole economic system. With that in mind would you suggest Berkshire as a good stock for me? can you suggest 5 or 6 other names that have excellent downside protection?

Q: I bought both of the Canadian Rails in a TFSA 1 1/2-2 years back and they haven't done much. I assume much of the underperformance is related to the tariff issue, but historically if i'm correct, have been very good investments over multi year periods.

With the increase in diesel prices do the rails stand to gain traction brought about by cargo being pushed from truck to rail and how do you perceive the relevant cost efficiencies of rail vs truck assuming both are likely powered by diesel?

Do you see any reason for a breakout of these stocks that have traded in a range for some time?

Q: CN Rail shares were added to the Income Portfolio, Today.

If you decide to add exposure to rails in the Balanced Portfolio, which Canadian rail would be your preference today and why ?

You had mentioned before that CNR has a cheaper valuation and good dividend yield. But, I would appreciate your reasoning to cover other factors like future growth prospects, geographical considerations and total shareholder returns, as well.

Thank You

Q: Creating TFSA for 25 year old daughter. Started off really timid with VBAL then slowly started to add individual names. Small quantity in US names. If 10,000 left to add, what would you suggest to balance it out and be diversified, based on current prices, value, potential upside, while managing huge swings in price with things like metals/oil/gas? I want her to see the benefits of investing and feel the pressure so don't want to make any huge mistakes. Thanks for your great advice!!
