Q: I am very concerned with the performance of Berkshire Hathaway since the announcement of Buffett's retirement—it is down 11% in the past two months, while the S&P 500 is up 12% during these two months. Thanks to BRK-B’s performance in the past few years, it is the biggest single holding in my taxable portfolio. I am considering biting the bullet, paying capital gains taxes, and replacing it with the FT Vest Laddered Buffer ETF (BUFR). Can you share your thoughts on this?

Q: What are the strengths and weaknesses of Minto ? In your last comments on the reit you did not have a good opinion on it. Do you still feel the same? Would you considers buying MU.UN now?

Q: Hi Team,

I went looking through the questions and couldn’t find one like this. I am not looking for personal advice but the context is that I am closer to winding down the working years and am trying to build some income into the portfolio through dividend growers.

What would be your top seven dividend growers in both the US and Canada where the starting dividend is at least 1.5% indicating that management sees the dividend as a meaningful part of its capital allocation strategy? Obviously, I would prefer some sector diversification as well.

Please feel free to deduct as many questions as you deem appropriate.

Thanks for the great help!

Q: Hi 5i Team - With gold up substantially the past year or so and now that gold stocks seem to be participating more, I am interested in taking a small position in a few junior exploration companies. I already have two mid tier producers. Are there any exploration companies that that you may be aware of that have reasonable funding and potential for decent discoveries. Past successes of management would also help. Or is there a reputable site or publication that might cover this sort of thing. Thanks.

Q: Power Corporation hit a low of $36 last summer, then climbed steadily for the most part since then to $53 now. What is the reason for the large climb in price?

Historically, the price has been much lower than $53. Over the last 10 years, the normal trading range has been $30 to $39. Has something fundamentally changed with this company to warrant the high current price?

I would like to buy POW for a 3 to 5-year hold but do not want to overpay if the current price is an outlier on the graph.

What would a reasonable entry price be?

Q: Hi,

Does Zedcor's mid year update/guidance released today meet your expectations? Any concerns or surprises you see in the update?
I purchased it a few weeks prior to your Best Stock Ideas inclusion so the vote of confidence is reassuring. ;)
(Bruce Campbell (Stonecastle) and DKAM also rank it highly).

Cheers,
Steve

Q: Can you explain to me in laymen’s terms the deal they made,it seems to me if the company did well in the next 2 years,for example if the share price went to $ 3.50-4.00 their warrants could be exercised at $2.95 wouldn’t dilute the shares more and put downward pressure on the price and basically screw over any longtime shareholders…Thanks
