Investment Q&A

Q: Hi There,

I see this ETF is very volatile in the current environment. Are these short or longer term gyrations with the sell off in US Bonds?

I bought this as a “calm from the storm” holding with a decent yield but not sure if it’s the right choice.

Thanks a lot!

Q: Can you please comment on earnings and looking into your crystal ball, where do you see gold going in the next year. Thanks

Q: What do you see as the "end game" in the US involving Trump and imposing tariffs? This is creating a massive disruption. Could the US elite be concerned about the rise of communism and are privately backing this significant "push back" in an attempt to regain a the footing they have lost as a super power? Lately we have become aware of the battle for Greenland and the Panama Canal....China vs the US. If this is part of the end game, there will be alot of pain to go arond worldwide.
I know this is not a straight up investment question....but perhaps we need to try to find out what is motivating these actions and ultimately the impact on economies and stock markets around the world.
Thoughts?
As usual, thank you for your insights.

Q: Having missed the initial SOBO run-up, I see it's off 15% due to the pipeline incident. Would it be a buy here or has it become to risky now?

Q: Greetings,

With respect, why do you think so highly of BN?

MarketGrader.com (supplied through BMO) concludes the following:

1. Poor fundamentals
2. Growth = C
3. Profitability = D
4. Value = B
5. Cashflow = B

The yield at 0.8% is inconsequential .

I look forward to your comments.

Cheers

Q: Hi, holding a few of these losers now in my non registered accounts - they were nice winners just a short time ago. What are the best proxies for these as a tax loss strategy? If my holding is CAD and the proxy is US, should I convert CAD funds to buy US or avoid these situations? Also, at what $ or price % loss would you consider doing these tax loss trades? Thanks!

Q: Would you consider taking a 27% hit on whitecap for tax loss and replace it with Bep.un to get the 7% yield I was getting with white cap before the nose dive. Do you consider the dividend to be secure along with better growth? Tks. Larry

Q: Good Morning,

Do you think it is worth adding to Brookfield Renewable at today's price ?? Its price behaviour is certainly unlike FTS or other electrical utility sector stocks. Would it make more sense to replace it with BAM ?? I am looking for income and some growth. I would appreciate your expert opinion. Thank you. DL

Q: It has been suggested that this time of volatility is a good opportunity for upgrading the quality of one’s investments. It has also been suggested that one not panic and do anything precipitously. I currently hold WCP and TVE, not surprisingly at a considerable loss; many commentators point to CNQ as top grade. What is your view of selling the 2 and replacing with CNQ - switch or hang tough? Many thanks.

Q: Could you comment on long bonds interests going up?. Why is that and what does this mean? Implications.

Q: Hello,
Would you add to CNR at these level - long term hold - or would you wait for the market to settle down? How is the current valuation vs historical? Thank you

Q: your view of purchasing for a long term hold. Does it produce heavy oil used in american refineries? Cheers

Q: These seem to be your favourites in the O&G sector. Which would you buy at this point?

If they not your top two, please add your recommended company or ETF.

Thanks!

Q: Hello,

Looking to enter a new position. Thoughts on which would be a better buy today for a long term hold? And your opinion on copper going forward.

Thank you.

Q: In your Q & A section, Feb. 12, was the last time you commented on their quarterly report. What is your is your outlook for the remainder of the year. On a scale of one to ten, with ten being high, how would you rate it. I also, noticed where you recommended this company in place of AVGO.
Thank you very much for your excellent service.
